Please Help Me Plan :)



Recommended Posts

So I thought it might be fun (and very, very helpful for myself and others) to try to generate some menu ideas. I do not do well without a plan and it takes me FOREVER! to write up menus for myself. I know we cannot all eat the same things sometimes but who better to know what a good lapband day should look like than my fellow lapbanders. So if you could tell me what you would eat for a whole day while following the lapband rules and even how you prepare the food (if you like) I would be so very appreciative :)

I'm still on mushies and have lots to learn! Here's my day:

Breakfast: GNC Total Lean shake, 8 oz caffeinated coffee, 4 oz milk, 1tsp sugar free vanilla Syrup

Lunch: 1/2 tuna packet with 1 tbsp low-fat olive oil mayo, 1/4 whole wheat toasted bagel thin, 1/2 cup diced watermelon

Snack: Isopure zero carb grape drink

Dinner: 1/2 cup chicken tortilla Soup (without tortilla), 1 oz shredded low fat cheese, 1 tbsp fat free sour cream

Desert: sugar free chocolate pudding

Fluid intake: 96oz Water, 8oz crystal light

Does anyone eat flour tortillas? Will I ever be able to have one of those again?

Have any of you tried cooking those little meals in cupcake pans?

I am going to make muffin tin breakfasts tonight for the next week.

I am planning on using the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage, liquid egg (probably southwest flavor), fat free cheddar, and some veggies (maybe some onion and mixed pepper).

Lunches would be nice, but I don't know what I would make. I see meatloafs and other foods that don't look too healthy.

My goal this week is to 100% plan my food and keep calories at 1200 or less with at least 45 minutes of exercise most days.

      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.
