WHMP: 25 May 2017
I was nervous all day today as I had my next scheduled appointment with the dietician this afternoon. Even though I know I am doing all the right things nutritionally I just can’t help but feel nervous.
Work flew by and I was super productive after having eight hours sleep as Nanna Noels was to the rescue and I got a nights reprieve.
So off I went to my appointment with my food diary open paired to share my food actions.
I started with the dreaded weigh in and as normal their scales are heavier than mine. They run heavier, it was at the end of the day and I was fully clothed so overall pretty happy with the number.
We went through what I am doing and I got two thumbs up with managing my protein and calorie levels. I am doing really well managing to sneak protein powder into wherever possible. I asked the million dollar question of exposing protein powder to high heat in cooking. He confirmed that yes it does decrease the effectiveness of the protein powder however it does still retain a high value of protein so it’s better than not cooking with it at all. Having said that I can reduce my focus on my protein levels now as I am managing them appropriately with my use of protein support. I can however up my calories if needed.
I did get a smack on my hands for not being very diligent in taking my multivitamins. I have now replaced my chewable “arse” vitamins with the capsules and got some caltrate to support the capsules as they don’t contain calcium like the chewable version.
I can now read train my macro focus to be around carbohydrates as my lower energy levels maybe a combination of sleep deprivation and insufficient carbs in my diet. My new aim is 3 to 4 serves of carbs per day with one serve of carbs being 15 g.
Having said that he is so incredibly impressed with my nutritional transformation and I am set in new routines to the same level of someone 12 months postop not five months.
Looking at my weekly average loss I am still tracking at an above expected level and I am tracking about five weeks and ahead of my projected schedule for weight loss. All in all it was a very positive appointment.
Day 30 – 2.8km, 30/50 – 112.4km
