1-6 Monthers - Post What You Are Eating Please?



Recommended Posts

I just read a post from someone who said it was crazy to see someone post, "I don't know what to eat"... but yet that is the most important daily thing and being less than 3 weeks post op, the thing I'm struggling with the most. Yes, I did get a ditto from the doc with a list of foods - all low fat and no sugar: cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, eggs, tuna, baked fish, ground meats, refried Beans and then it includes things like cereals, crisp toast, rice,baked potato, bananas, watermelon and cantaloupe.

So, I get that I am allowed to eat the above list, what I want to know is - for those of you who are losing weight - what are y'all eating?

I'll go first...

Today I had sauteed spinach and fresh salsa - I spray the pan with bakers joy and the salsa is Tomato & onion in the clear container found in the deli - not jarred, then cracked two eggs and cooked for 2-3 minutes so the egg is cooked but the yolk makes a sauce, it's very good and I've been having this daily for the most part.

For lunch I had tuna made with celery and a little light mayo and greek yogurt and Dijon and a dab of Franks hot sauce - I had about 4 oz total

For dinner I'll have salmon and broccoli and in between I will have a 30 grm chocolate Protein Drink with 5 grms of carbs - no sugar.

I'll eat about 1/2 cup of SF Jello and one SF Jello pudding.

That's my day... please critique critique critique :) but more important post what you ate yesterday (or today if you know :))

THANKS!

well I am not a 1-6monther I am a 15monther but I eat a lot of the same things that you eat I have had the egg scrambler, tuna, slamon that you listed above. After a year I eat a lot of other choices, things that I can't eat might be a smaller list here is what I eat yesturday.

breakfast: 4oz greek yogurt with a a spoon of granola. 1 EAS prot shake

morning snack scoop of Peanut Butter and celery

lunch BBQ pull pork wraps(crockpot recipe & wrap the meat in in green leafy lettuce with a little shredded cheese)

mid day snack choc sugar free puding with 1/4 scoop of protien powder( I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury no flavor or choc fav)

dinner portbella pizza(take a portbell mushroom cap cover with pizza sauce your choice of meat and cheese bake for 15-20mins) and diced cucumber tomatoe salad

bedtime snack( with vitmains and meds)eas protien shack 2oz cubes cheese and 2oz deli meat

this is a typical day for me. I take in 1000-1350 calories daily(depending if I exercise that day) I try to change it up so I am not bored. I hope this helped although I am a little further along...enjoy the journey

I pretty much eat the same thing for Breakfast and lunch.

For Breakfast I make a Protein smoothie with EAS Lean 15 chocolate Fudge, 1 cup almond milk & 1/2 a frozen bannana.

lunch I have a sandwich made from 100 calorie whole wheat round bread, lots of mustard, 1 piece of turkey, 1 slice of non-fat american cheese. I also have 1 container of no sugar added fruit. You know, the little pre-packaged ones you normally would pack in a kid's lunch.

dinner is usually chicken and veggies of some sort.

Hope you found this helpful :-)

I eat something different for each meal almost every day except breakfast. I've learned that if I choose the same stuff over and over I just feel like this will be another diet. Since I have an empty band right now I focus on Protein Protein protein to keep me full and to prevent snacking.

Average day for me:

Breakfast: GNC total lean shake

Lunch: 6 chicken meatballs (they're small!) and 1 cup of kale chips (homemade)

Dinner: Spinach dijon salad bowl + 3 oz of chopped chicken breast

Snack/Desert: Dole dippers (If you haven't heard of them look them up online... Delicious!!)

10 cups of Water

30-45 min of cardio exercise

Total around 950 calories

      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.
