I can easily eat 1400 cals a day and I'm not eating bad.... I don't think.

Breakfast- 1.5 servings vanilla chai tea

Midmorn- laughing cow light cheese wedge, 8 turkey pepperoni's

Lunch- oven "fried" chicken (baked with cornflakes) and spinach

Mid afternoon- same as mid morn

Dinner- string Beans and 1.5 perdue chicken strips.

By the way I am hungry a lot of the day. I also drink a lot of Water. I ca easily drink 10 cups of water and 100grams Protein.< /p>

input please

I would get more fresh fruit/veggies (if you can have those) instead of 16 turkey pepperoni's a day.

I know you have probably been asked this, but are you taking a PPI?

It helped me so much with "hunger" throughout the day.

Also, you aren't supposed to be eating until you are full, just until you are no longer hungry. There is a difference and for me it is almost 2 pieces of light salami.

What is in the chai tea? Sugar? Protein? Why don't you switch it out for a low calorie high Protein One? They make some powders that taste amazing. I am a big fan of Click, they make coffee ones with 15g Protein.< /p>

Is there more that you're eating? I added your menu up real quick and it only came to about 550 calories. 47 grams of Protein and 50 grams of carbs. The cornflakes on your chicken account for half of those carbs. If you just baked your chicken without the corn flakes you'd help keep your blood sugar more regulated by not introducing so much insulin into your system after that meal.

And if that is truly all you're eating then no wonder you're hungry. Plus, you're really not eating Breakfast. The most important meal of the day. And those turkey pepperoni's....I love them. But really they don't pack much volume for the calories they deliver. Not that they are that many calories, but you could eat a boiled egg for the same calories and it would be way more filling than the little pepperoni's...in my opinion.

Thanks for ur opinions. When I put it in MFP it came up to 1200 cals.. but the tea was bolthouse farms so that was a lot.

I also think the fruit and veg idea is something I need to work on. I kinda cut it out of my life to focus on Protein 9and I'm a veggie lover.

I stopped taking my prevacid 3 days ago because I ran out. If that's why I'm hungry I need to get something asap.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
