What ya eating tonight?



Recommended Posts

Tonight I am struggling to get my Protein Shake in. Today I have had a few bites of pudding and some cream of chicken Soup with herbs. I really want to eat string cheese but it has only been 4 days since surgery so I know it is not a good idea. Man, I would love to just have some cheese... Lol!

I really need to get my Protein in, but it is harder than I thought it would be. Before surgery I was starving and couldn't eat. Now there are things I can eat, and I am not hungry. Hmmm, interesting....

I licked a ton of Laughing Cow Swiss cheese wedges off a spoon....

I've been having so much trouble getting all my Protein lately. I use cheeses for Snacks, a Protein Shake a day, and try to pick foods that have protein. But I eat so little that it never seems to add up :(

How is it I'm eating nothing but broths' date=' cottage cheese, puréed black Beans and lentils and Protein Shakes and some how week 3 I've managed to lose literally nothing! It's so discouraging. Ive also been on the treadmill 5-6 times a week. I always hear of people losing amazing amounts in the beginning. I'm scared that I'm only 3 weeks in and I've already quit losing, is this not working for me? Also I don't really feel full when I eat. I can eat about a half cup or a little more and feel fine. Shouldn't I be stuffed at only 3 weeks?[/quote']

I don't think I really started losing until after my 1st month. I lost some but was a slow loser :-( It sped up, I believe, once real food was added in. Your body is probably resisting the change (being stubborn) as mine was. You might want to also up your protein!!! I found with me, my Dr recommended minimum 60g a day. I need 80-100. That's what helped me the most.

Four months out, I lose about 2-3 lbs a week and have been very happy because of how it adds up in total weight loss.

Thanks! Before surgery I used to cook all the time. Since then it seems as if I've become an idiot in the kitchen now! LoL!

I hear you :-( It's sad. I feel out of my realm in the kitchen now. Don't like it either. So many great ideas on here.

I am 11 days out and I can eat 1/2 a cup over 30 minutes. I asked my doc and he said 4 oz was appropriate.

      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.
