Talked to the doctor about my weight today

And she gave me a diet plan I should be able to follow, it’s calorie counting but I can do frozen meals like tv dinners and such as long as the meals are under a certain calorie count my meals look like this

Breakfast: 300 calories
Snack: 100 calories
Lunch: 300 calories
Snack: 100 calories
Dinner: 300 calories
Snack: 100 calories

During the meals I’m allowed as much veggies as I want to make myself feel full… I’m really excited for this diet, I started this diet today and am not hungry yet… I got a little hungry making lunch but I made it and feel good I feel full now… I’ve had breakfast, snack, and lunch, I got snack, dinner, and snack left to eat

Be aware of TV dinners
They are usually high in sodium

Not the greatest for weight loss

@Turtle43 the back of the package has the calorie count on every food item you buy.

@roxanna thanks

@Wave I’ll keep that in mind but the doctor didn’t seem to be to worried about this.

@Azythum thanks, here’s hoping

Yeah many TV dinners are low in calories and you could buy TV dinners with a lower sodium content.

Best of luck @Twialine

Sounds like a plan! :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m very happy for you, and I wish you many pounds lost.

It’s also good to see what kind of diets doctors do. I have an appointment with a weight management group. Basically, they set you up on a diet during your initial consult. They work with you for a year, meeting a couple of times a week remotely. After a year, if you don’t show progress, they consider other means. I’m too scared to do something like gastric bypass, though. They would have to put in an vena cava filter because of my clotting. I do not want one of those; they scare me to death! So I need the year’s diet to work for me.

That’s scary anyways so the clots make it worse

Good luck @Twialine .
