Portion size 6 months out...1/2 unwich?



Recommended Posts

I just demolished 1/2 of a Beach Club unwich from Jimmy Johns (no mayo, no onion)) and am a little concerned I was able to eat that much. Before you jump on the no fast food band wagon, I left my lunch on my counter at home, and don't have many options close to me. Should I be concerned I about this portion size 6 months out?

Well, the link you provided doesn't really give information on what is in the sandwich, just the nutritional information, so without knowing that it's hard to say.

At six months out I could eat a whole sandwich WITH bread sometimes, depending what was on it. Dense meats piled high, no. But tuna salad or pimento cheese or Peanut Butter, yes.

You're probably fine. I don't think the Unwich has bread, and you say you ate only half of it.

I could eat a half an unwich at 6 months. It's about 4.5 oz of food.

I think that's fine. I'm able to eat about the same amount. And I feel the unwich was a good choice. I do occasionally eat out, it's a fact of life. Things happen.

You are completely fine and the unwich was a good choice. I've had them before as well; sometimes I can only have half and sometimes I can eat the whole thing and it seems to be pretty much normal. It was at least 6 months post op before I could do that though.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
