Your Meals Each Day



Recommended Posts

I'm a month out and my surgeon wants my Protein intake at 100 g a day and no more than 600 calories each day. This is what I had today:

Boiled egg white

Protein shake (1 1/2 scoops)

2 oz lunch meat

Protein Shake (1 1/2 scoops)

1/3 cup cottage cheese

1 cup puréed Soup

Water

This was a little over 100 g protein and just under 600 calories.

What's a typical day of food for you guys? I'm trying to mix things up...

I'm six weeks out and I do at least 2 Protein shakes per day, with the goal over getting over 100 grams of Protein per day.

I shoot for 500-1000 calories, depending on how I feel and how much I'm working out.

I also do chicken breast, egg substitute omelettes, yogurt, turkey chili, tuna, baked fish (tilapia or salmon), shrimp, refried Beans, steak or bison, and a few carbs, fruits and vegetables here and there.

Y'all need to get a myfitnesspal account. Then you can track your food /calories / exercise and also see what everyone else is eating too. I have a couple of hundred friends on my account from here. The app is free..give it whirl. You've got nothing to lose but weight. My name is the same there as here. Look me up. There is also a thread here with names of people that have accounts. Look it up too.Good luck!

      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.
