When Life Gets In The Way Of Eating

It ia just such a new thing for me to have to focus on protein drinks,food and fluids.Before we went to church this morning I had to have a cup of tea,make a protein drink,pack some water and some mushy lunch as we were going out directly after.

 

I just cant wait to start eating so I can have a protein bar instead of the drink and better even,to eat 65g of protein per day.

 

I have 4 more days of mushy food then a few weeks of soft foods.Just the fact that I will know how much I am ingesting is so much better than guessing how many cals my liquids actually have.

 

Must say,I am starting to love this smaller stomach,I ate a little sweetpotato today (mushed not liquidized) and I really felt full after 3 teaspoons full.I also notice I have less restriction at night than during the day...weird!

i wouldnt get too attached to the protein bar idea. Look at a label on a protein bar, they have 25 grams of carbs and 30 grams of sugar! Even the lower carb arent that great. You will be better off packing Atkins or EAS premixed protein shakes, cheeses, greek yogurt. It is really hard to get in 65 grams of protein in through food, i dunno if everyone else struggles, but i am 3 months out and i can still not get all my proteins through foods, i have to drink protein shots.

Soon, it will be second nature to pack all your essentials before going out the door. I always pack mine the night before. Good luck!
