Just curious what you eat in a day



Recommended Posts

I am 4 days post-op and still in my liquid phase but I got to thinking what is a food day like for a bandster who is now on solid food.

Just curious to see what you guys are eating.

My day so far is not that exciting-lol

Water

Then for Breakfast low fat whipped yougurt and some Jello

Then been sipping juice and Water off and on.

Hi Caroline,

The last few days I've been eating without a thought as to self-control. Here's what I ate today, eating until I absolutely did not want any more:

Breakfast:

one-half of a small omelet with cheese and broccoli

two cups coffee

Lunch:

15 or so cubes of salami, ham, and cheese (leftovers from a Thanksgiving appetizer platter)

a bunch of olives

one clementine (like a tangerine)

Snack:

small dish of premium ice cream

dinner (at a Mexican restaurant):

tortilla chips and salsa

a serving of catfish poppers (appetizer-size meal)

handful of french fries (stolen from daughter)

It's amazing to me that even when I feel like I'm eating out of control this is all I have really eaten today. These meals are a faction of the size I would have consumed pre-band, and on a normal day when I'm drinking like I should be I'd eat even less.

The great thing is that I eat until I'm full and that's just a whole lot sooner than it used to be.

I eat a two egg omlett only one yolk/cheese/ham or oatmeal for Breakfast. Now I get up at like 3:30PM go work out while I down a couple bottles Water before breakfast at around 530or 600. At 12 or 1am I eat like Mr. Boston chicken pot pie( These things are to good man) if I'm really hungry. I sometimes eat those tuna pouches like lemon pepper flavor with maybe wheat krackers. I will eat like nuts or something very light at 3 or 4 am then thats it. I really am in control of how much to eat. I can go many hours on a tuna pouch if I want too. I do this a few days a week when I push the fat away!! If I am hungry really hungry I add a glass of water while I eat and down goes the food or more than a pouch anyway. I have lost over 30 lbs since August 12 and I am in great shape now. I work out like a mad man.

I can eat pizza from pizza hut,couple slices if I want. Tacos from taco bell a couple, You see the moderation now with the band is key!!! Good luck and remember we still have to work this weight off. Get some exercise and make a decision to take this tool and change your life forever..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
