Macros Update

 I had another appointment with the dietician at my bariatric clinic the other day. I just haven't had time to update. All went well. She FINALLY increased my macros. Am I the only one who doesn't understand why they changed the diet language to macros instead of just calling them calories, etc? Any way... 

For the longest time I had suspected that I wasn't eating enough calories. So I made an appointment with a dietician through Nourish. She told me that I was going to damage my metabolism if I continued to eat at such a low calorie rate. I told her before I increased my calories I wanted to wait and see what the dietician at the bariatric clinic said first. Without telling the BC dietician that I had seen another dietician, she automatically increased my macros. Any way... They are as follows. After giving myself a couple days of following the new macros, I did drop a little weight this morning. Yay! Hopefully, THIS will kickstart some weight loss again. I had been on a 700-900 calorie diet since surgery. Any way, the new Macros are listed below. 

Calories: 1200-1300

Protein: >110 grams

Carbs: 75 grams

Fats: 30-40 grams

My New Diet

 I haven't posted anything about this yet and I am not sure why. I guess I didn't want to post just to "put something out there." Any way, as part of my insurance requirements for surgery, I have to go on a 3 month medically supervised diet. Dr. W (Bariatrics) put me on a 1200 calorie diet and Dr. D (PCP) will supervise my diet for the 3 months. My first diet appointment is Thursday, but I have been dieting since the first so today is day 5. So far everything is going ok. I am not hungry like I thought I would be. In fact, I am not hungry at all. I eat 3 meals a day. My blood sugar keeps dipping so I am going to have to talk to Dr. D about that. On a different note, I got the clearance I needed from my neurosurgeon for surgery. Thankfully, we are just checking things off the list!
