Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps and keep on going. It is not all bad. Remember to try to get 2/3 of your diet as plant based and the rest of it as protein, carbs, and the good fats. Drink a ton of water too. If you drink soda when you do the fast food thing or in cans remember that every 12 oz is 150+ calories.
Also, the "double down" chicken sandwich from Kentucky Fried Chicken (a fried or grilled sandwich with no bread) still has at least 500+ calories, even the grilled one.
Hang in there. I would love to share what I am learning from my dietician. I see one at the hospital every month and we email back and forth daily. I weigh in with the bariatric program on Monday so we shall see how this second week goes for me.
Take care!
