What Kind Schedule Did You Keep?



Recommended Posts

K I was wondering how you guys keep your Protein and fluids balanced throughout the day with what we eat? I am not on solids yet I am on full fluids still with yogurt and protein shakes...I am hoping some of you will write like a sample menu for a day? I just want to see if I am doing the best I can to get everything in...I know I can't expect to do it all this early but I just want to know if I am making the most of my day...also what is the latest in the day you guys eat or drink? And lastly what are some Snacks you might keep in your purses/bags? Thanks so much!

The example diet sheet my dietician gave me for days 4-11 is as follows:

Breakfast - 1 glass of milk (skimmed or semi-skimmed)

Mid-am - 1 glass of milk and 1 small pot of sugar free jelly

lunch - 1 cup of Soup and 1 cup of milk

Mid pm - 1 small pot of custard

Evening - 1 Protein shake

Supper - 1 glass of milk.

Unlimited Water

It's now 5.10pm in the uk and I am still on the mid pm custard.

I am taking it very slowly.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
