[habsi 25]

I've travelled you don't beep from them so no issues there

[lylabelle 257]

I've flown a bunch since surgery. I totally forgot about the staples. Sometimes they just run their hand down the middle of my back. Other times, nothing. Not a big deal.

[boccob81 244]

They stitched mine no staples at all I was told . He said it was a double stitch

May 27th sleever. What are you guys eating? I was doing really well now it seems like everything bothers me

[par1959 470]

I can eat anything I want, but stick to Protein, veggies with a little fruit.< /p>

[4andcounting 42]

That's how I was but now suddenly everything hurts me. What does a typical day look like for you?

[boccob81 244]

I eat sliced bell pepper with hummus as dip . Watermelon , I make tuna with avocado instead of mayo . I eat egg salad and will be putting avocado in the egg salads instead of mayo . I drink ISO pro green apple right after work outs . And muscle milk light also . I eat carrots with hummus dip and cucumber and mushrooms with hummus dip . That pretty much what I am eating

I do two Protein Shakes a day, split up into three "meals." I use soy milk and I mix in chia seeds. I make them ahead of time the night before, so the chia seeds inflate. They're super healthy (great Omega3 to omega6 ratio!) and make the Protein shakes more substantial so they keep me fuller longer.

Additionally, I'll usually eat something like a tofurky or PB2 sandwich (always on low-carb protein bread!). I cut it into halves or thirds and split it up throughout the day as well.

On gym days, I aim for about 1000 calories, and if I don't hit it by the time I'm home, I'll have a vegan Protein Bar or some nuts or fruit, depending on how my macro nutrients for the day look. On non-gym days, I try to stay under 800, so I don't always eat much else.

If I eat out, lentil Soup is a go to. Not exactly low carb, but no starch and some protein. Or a nice Tomato and mozzarella salad if it's available.

According to Cronometer, this week I've averaged 865 calories, 98.7g protein, 29.9g carbs and 40.4g of fat. I know my fat is high, but it's mostly plant based, healthy fat, so I don't worry. Plus my protein is high and my carbs are low. I'm losing well too!

[Monte0828 46]

Eating around 1000-1100 calories 70-90 grams Protein. Have found if u don't get at least 1000 calories in its slower to lose at least for me. I do scrambled eggs with cheese in am, around mid morning Greek yogurt, lunch deli meat with cheese lettuce wrap or tuna. Protein bar or shake late afternoon and dinner chicken steak or other protein again. Very minimal carbs veggies and fruit. Eat protein first!! Remember chew chew chew! Have found if too carb rich it upsets my stomach.

Thanks everyone! You have given me some ideas of things I should try to eat. I was drinking coffee in the morning but did not do that this morning to see if maybe that is what could be upsetting my stomach.

Those of you who eat Protein Bars, what kind do you eat?
