How much is everyone eating?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 weeks out and I was just wondering how much food is everyone eating? I don't feel like I'm eating a lot but I do fill full after just 4oz's. Thanks!

I'm at 4 weeks out. It depends on what I am eating. If it's refried Beans, 3-4 ounces. If it's tuna or chicken, an ounce.

I'm 5 weeks out today.

I eat 2 cheese sticks for Breakfast, one between working out and leaving for work (5:30 or so), the second around 9:30 or 10 in the morning.

lunch is a premier Protein shake.

I eat around 4:30-5 and again between 7:30-8. Those are my two times where I eat some meat. I always measure out 3 oz of meat (chicken, turkey, fish, etc.).

Typically in MFP I come out between 62-72 g of Protein and between 475-550 calories.

I'm 4 months. I have a Protein shake in the morning and 2 small meals for lunch and dinner. I eat anywhere between 600 - 850 calories a day.

I am 4 weeks out and I am eating between 700-900 calories on days and less than 500 on 2 days. I always keep my Protein at 60grams + and carbs on less than 50g..My diet is mostly- cottage cheese, yogurt, Protein shakes, canned salmon, some potatoes and liver with onions.

I'm over 5 months out and I eat 4-5 oz per meal (3 oz Protein + 1 oz veggies) per meal and I generally eat 4-5 meals per day. I feel perfectly full for several hours after eating 4 oz.

I randomly track my calories to get an idea of what I'm consuming and it's around 1,000 per day.

I will be 3 months post op this Monday and I can eat between 2-3oz of meat or cheese. I found recently that I can eat one whole P3 Protein pak from the store. I use these when I can't think of what I want or don't want to cook. ;)

I am still doing two shakes and one meal for most days, maybe once or twice a week I do one shake and two meals. I am usually between 65-80 grams of Protein, 8-10 sugars or less and 450-550 calories. Sometimes 600 calories on gym days.

It varies depending on what stage you are in.

It depends on how hungry I am and what I am eating. There are times when I can eat 3-4 oz of mashed potatoes, but other times I can only eat 2oz. I usually eat about 2oz of chicken, turkey, or fish at a time. I try to eat 4-5 times a day.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
