Here is a typical day for me.

B- 1 scrambeled egg or 1 1/2 boiled eggs

S- small banana

L- 2-2 1/2 Foster Farms Homestyle Meatballs or 2-2 1/2 oz grilled chicken or steak

S- Protein drink, Pure Protein Bar or 1 oz nuts

D- 2-2 1/2 oz Steak, chicken or Salmon

I am 11 weeks out today and that is pretty much how I have eaten since week 4 when I went to soft foods. I get to progress to regular diet next week and can have salad. I am so happy and really looking forward to it.

I track my calories on myfitnesspal.com and adjust my daily intake accordingly to get my 650-800 calories daily.

good thread...pretty good to know what to expect...

[MegInNOLA 531]

Typical day for me:

Upon waking (around 6): Water and Synthroid.

Around 8: Iced coffee with milk, Calcium chews.

Around 9: 1/2 a Protein bar (I like the Think Thin brand)

Around noon: 2 shrimp with remoulade sauce

Around 2: A few peanuts or a cracker with Peanut Butter

Around 5: A couple of small slices of cheese (around 1 oz total)

Around 7: 2 super thin slices of lunch meat and maybe some cheese or fruit or whatever sounds good.

I should say that sometimes I have a 2nd coffee (I am having my 2nd one of the day today), and sometimes I have a saltine cracker with my first coffee. I have a very small and very particular sleeve, so my eating habits have adjusted to take in calories and Protein (although I'm still under with both). I feel good and am losing, but I worry about the amount of protein I'm able to consume over the course of a day; however, I can't tolerate the liquid Protein drinks, so I try my best to do what I can with food and bars.

Wow this isn't much food at all that you guys are eating.... I was hoping to start the whole lean cuisine thing... Greek yogurt in the am wrap for lunch and lean cuisine for dinner Protein included in everything.... Getting a little nervous that a couple crackers and a grape will be all I can fit and never be able to enjoy food again!!! : /

[Heatherr 149]

Seems some of those are lacking in Protein too. Once you hit goal or close, you'll be able to eat more and have to adjust so you stop losing.

[kellyw74 258]

You will be able to eat more the further out you get. I get full on 2 meatballs. That is CRAZY!! It really blows my mind how little I eat in comparision to what I used to eat.

I eat twice as much as I could 5 weeks ago. It gets better all of the time.

My plan doesn't call for a calorie,carb or Protein count. I am supposed to eat 3 times a day with out Snacks. I can not do that because when I do because I eat so little, I am only eating about 300 calories a day.

I had to adjust my eating to include Snacks. I don't track carbs or Protein, but do try to eat high protein foods and get enough calories to compensate for my daily exercise.

food is overrated now. i just don't care about it. i eat because i have too which is way better than sneaking off to eat 1/2 glazed doughnuts from 7 eleven. And really with all the eating I was doing...it wasn't like I was eating a gourmet meal every night. I was just shoving it in...sometimes it was yummy and sometimes it was whatever. I am happier now. Just working on getting that protien in

First off, Dud2Stud, what a cute user name! But I don't think you're a Dud now!

I'm 10 weeks out. I've posted what I've eaten today and what I plan to eat this evening. Don't worry about never being able to eat again! I think most people who have posted are fairly early out. I just got to where I can usually eat 2 ounces of Protein. I started out only able to eat 1 ounce. VST superstar Tiffykins is more than a year out and at goal. She has posted more than once about how much she can eat and I think she has a small sleeve. She manages to eat a small steak, have an appetizer, and enjoy a couple of drinks. Sounds good to me!! Can't wait till I'm at goal so I can do the same!!

But for now, here's my typical day at 10 weeks out. It is 64 grams of Protein.< /p>

Breakfast: Yogurt smoothie (3/4 C. Fage 0 Plain Yogurt, 1/8 C. OJ, 1/4 C. Water, 2 strawberries, Splenda)

Lunch: 1 oz. low fat salami, 1 oz. low fat string cheese, 1/3 C. watermelon

Dinner: 2 oz ground beef patty, 1/8 C. steamed summer squash, 4 bites corn on the cob

Late Night Snack: 1 scoop powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Protein in 12 oz. water

today

B- Protein Shake: CLICK mocha espresso made with 1c. 1% lowfat milk, 4 oz. Water and lots of ice. frappaccino YUM! I am ADDICTED to my Protein drink!

mid-morning snack- 1/2 c. cottage cheese

L- 1/2 c. chicken breast grilled + 1/8 haas avocado. (this was 1/2 of a wrap from our monday catered lunch @ work. tossed the tortilla and ate some of the "insides". grilled zuchinni & summer squash (4 pieces cut round, not long)

afternoon snack- 1 frigo mozzarella string cheese stick

dinner - 1/2 cup of beef with cheese, onions & peppers (the insides of 1/2 of a leftover philly cheese steak sand)

this gave me 845 cals/35 g. carbs/67 grams protein

tomorrow (I preplan whenever possible)

B- click mocha espresso Protein shake made WITHOUT milk this day

mid morning snack- 4 taco Breakfast bites (crustless quiches theworldaccordingtoeggface recipe sort of)

L- small shrimp (3 oz) with 2T cocktail sauce. 4 pc. grilled zuchinni/summer squash (leftovers from yesterday's lunch) I also have a piece of gilled beef rolled up with some spinach left from yesterdays luncheon and am hoping to have a "surf and turf" lunch but doubt I can eat it all....and hate to not eat the veggies cause i LOVE THEM!!!

afternoon snack - 1/2 cup edamame (shelled soybeans, will nibble on for an hour or so)

dinner - 3 oz. grilled tilapia fillet, steamed green Beans (1/4 c)

771 cals/48 g carbs (this would be why I am skipping the milk today, the corn & Beans in the taco breakfast bites are carbing me out)/93 grams protein. See how pre-planning helps?

I feel like I can eat a lot, about 2/3 to 3/4 cup at a time and I am only 1 month out. I vary my days between 700-800 calories, try to stay below 40 g. carbs and aim for a range of 70-90 grams of protein, most from real food, not Protein drinks.

I usually have to eat the mid morning & afternoon Snacks, and always eat all of them. however my actual meals are oftentimes only 3/4 or so consumed. my dog appreciates my new lifestyle at dinner time for sure

I have never hurled or got the foamies, however I have eaten too much 2x and almost hurled not fun

I eat kinda fast I think, compared to how others here describe how they eat. I feel normal now (comparing myself to non-sleevers) in terms of bite size, chewing and total time to eat a meal. however my coworkers think my portions are ridiculously small (i use 4 oz. plastic glad containers for all my food)

oh....and i've lost 23 lbs post op so far. Others might lose faster, my goal is to #1 be/stay healthy by getting my required protein/nutrients THEN #2 lose. Everyone says I GLOW....and I have a lot of energy so I'm thinking I'm doing ok!
