happytobehere 23 Posted January 12, 2013 I am 11 weeks out and this is an example of my daily meal plan: Breakfast: Light n Fit Dannon Green yogurt (Blueberry or Strawberry) with half a scoop powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder mixed in. 1 lf cheese stick. Lunch: 2oz Turkey Breast 1 lf cheese stick FF french onion dip Melba Toast (4) Dinner: Sam's chicken meatballs (3) Cucumbers (about 6 slices peeled) ff french onion dip Then I have at least one Protein Drink of some kind. I usually like Syntax nectar drinks that you mix with 16 oz of Water. So I am getting 23 grams of Protein and 16 oz of Water at the same time. 1 Divinediva reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traci J. 207 Posted January 12, 2013 I am 3 weeks out and I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast, egg/ham mini-muffins (x2) or cream cheese for morning snack, then chicken, meatballs, ham/cheese roll ups, beans/cheese or something like that for lunch and dinner. My Protein shake in the morning gives me 1/2 of my protein for the day....then I try to eat something with at least 6g. of protein every 3-4 hours....once I get all my protein in for the day, I focus on liquids. Which I'm still only getting in about 32 oz. of......still working on increasing that. It's harder that it sounds. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holly5.3 423 Posted January 12, 2013 I see from reading others posts, my inability to tolerate chicken, eggs and most veggies is pretty uncommon at 3 months. I'm wondering why my dr. didn't question me more about it yesterday. I guess everyone's stomach heals differently. As long as I'm making Protein req. I guess I'm ok. Finally could eat some iceberg lettuce this week, but still no dark greens. I miss eggs! Eventually...I'm sure (I hope!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolanz 1,484 Posted January 12, 2013 My day yesterday : B: 8 oz cup of milk and almonds raw L: lettuce wrap w/ turkey, olives, and feta S: Protein shake D: 2 oz lamb, feta, olives wrapped in 1/4 pita S: fiber/protein bar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traci J. 207 Posted January 13, 2013 Are you counting your Protein Shake as part of our liquids? I heard it counts. No I'm not, I asked my nutritionist because I thought it counted to, but she said the 64 oz. liquid is in addition to the Protein Shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eventually...I'm sure (I hope!). i am only 3 1/2 weeks out and just starting on the soft foods. when you say your tummy doesn't tolerate things, what happens? some of the same things i have been trying have been "coming back up". not throwing up but just like baby burp type, minus the burp! sorry that sounds gross but i'm sure you understand! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
