What are you eating and drinking 10-12 weeks out ?

[Carissicagail 8]

For some reason my post from yesterday didn't go through. But, I am wondering what people near about 10 weeks out are eating and drinking on a daily basis. I feel as though my tummy is tighter than it was at the beginning of my surgery. I get full very easily even more so than before. I am stalling again and I'm pretty sure it is because I am having trouble eating a lot during the day. It seems the only time I lose is when I eat small amounts of high fat/cal food. To me that seems unhealthy seeing as other people are eating all healthy foods and losing more weight than me...

So my question is can people who are 10 or more weeks out list meal by meal what they are eating everyday a long with how many hours you are waiting before your next meal ??

PLEASE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE 10+ WEEKS OUT THANK YOU.

I plan my meals so that I eat four meals a day, and they are each 20 grams of Protein. I use My Fitness Pal to track my protein and calories, but now I know exactly how much meat I need to eat to get in my protein which is 4 oz. I was weighing and measuring everything in the beginning, but now I don't need to because I know how much I need to eat to get in my protein. For Breakfast I have this breakfast casserole that I make with turkey sausage, eggs, veggies, and black Beans. For lunch I usually get a salad (chicken or salmon) and eat just the meat and a few bites of veggies. For my mid afternoon meal I eat the rest of the meat left from my salad or have some tuna fish or some turkey chili that I make and keep frozen. For dinner I eat meat and a few bites of veggies. Sometimes I will have a snack before bed if I am feeling empty and have finished drinking all my Water for the day, but only once or twice a week. I get in my 80 grams of protein every day and I am usually between 700-800 calories every day.

I am about 4 months out and I eat:

Protein shake for Breakfast or 2 egg omlette with veggies and Protein (meat)

lunch either a salad with chicken in it, a lean cuisine, or protein left over from dinner

dinner - about 3 oz of protein (chicken, chili, pork) about 1/4 cup of veggies and sometimes 1/4 cup of carbs depending if I can fit it in

Snacks - I choose from a hand full of nuts, cheese stick/lowfat, greek yogurt,

Most days - 800-1000 calories

My days are pretty boring. I'm I'll be 13 weeks out this coming Monday...

6:30AM Breakfast - nectar Fuzzy Navel Protein shake or BariWise Cereal with skim milk

12-12:30PM lunch - Greek Yogurt or tuna salad w/ cheese stick

5 or 6PM dinner - 2-3 oz of chicken or turkey, veggie burgers, lite turkey hotdogs. Will try sometimes to wrap stuff in a whole wheat fajita wrap.

10AM snack - string cheese, yogurt

Average 500-800 calories

I work in healthcare and need to be treating patients 85% of my day, so not a lot of time to take a break to have a snack 2x a day. I still struggle sometimes to get more than 2 oz of Protein in at a time and rarely have room for veggies. Although this week I'm a bit more comfortable with my meals so I might be able to start getting a bite or 2 in.

Ps I have found that when I have a little fat in my food, I tend to lose more weight than not having any fat.

Best wishes.

I had surgery on June 11th. My meals are usually like this. Breakfast: sugar free Cappuccino or Tomato juice, greek yogurt. Mid morning: Protein Shake, lunch: cottage cheese or lettuce wrap (romaine lettuce leaf, spread with cream cheese, and a slice of deli turkey), mid afternoon: string cheese, Dinner: usually what my family eats, I eat the meat and veggie. Tonight it was half a piece of baked chicken and green Beans. If they are having something I cant eat, then I usually have some Soup or chili from the freezer. I make a big batch and freeze it in small containers. After dinner: Protein shake. I drink 2 shakes a day, and usually save my 2nd one for after dinner. This is my "trigger time" when I like to snack, so if I drink my protein shake, it keeps me from snacking on things I shouldn't have.

Thank you for your replies. These are all great ideas! I have to start planning better. In the mornings I am lucky to get down a cracker sandwich today I only got down a slice of pepperoni on my way out the door. Then the rest if the day consists of half a turkey cracker lunch able for lunch at work. And dinner is something from my college cafeteria (meat and veggie) barely even a 1/2 cup of food. And then I end up eating two small Snacks before bed. A mozz stick and two butterfly shrimp usually. I have recently broken my stall and I found out it was due to Constipation. I am down 39 lbs!
