What is a typical day of eating for you?



Recommended Posts

My typical day

Premier Protein shake on the way into. Work.

P3 Protein snack around 10:30

Sliced sausage with a veggie or leftovers from the night before. I love shrimp sautéed in butter and garlic too for lunch around 1

String cheese or hard boiled egg around three or 4. I like beef Jerky too.

I have been loving 4% ground beef patties with Swiss cheese on top and a roasted veggie for dinner. I do chicken breasts a lot too.

I was sleeved in June. Today I have had a banana, a cup of coffee, a Protein Bar, a cheese stick, half a grill cheese sandwich and some mini-pretzels with Peanut Butter. Also, about 32 oz of Water. For dinner, I will have a small chicken tigh and some cabbage. I eat everything on a small saucer. Not sure of the size though. I realize when I work out, I have to eat more. It varies a little every day but not much. I eat a lot of boiled eggs, peanut butter and drink a lot of shakes too.

I don't have a typical day. It varies depending on my activities. Today is a light day because I didn't go to the gym. On non gym days I eat lighter and really watch my carbs.

Breakfast was a scrambled egg with cheese and hot chocolate with a scoop of Protein powder.

lunch was a scrambled egg with cheese and grits

dinner will be a cup of Soup and I'll probably add a scoop of Isopure naked to it.

I may have an orange as a snack if I get hungry.

On gym days I have a pre-gym Protein Drink with Fage 0% Greek yogurt, Protein Powder mixed with Water. Add in vary as to how I am feeling. Sometimes fruit, sometime a bit of cacao powder, sometimes almond butter, etc....

lunch , then dinner. I try to have a salad with Protein for dinner or a protein and a spinach for dinner. Afternoon snack are always optional if I am hungry.

I am vegetarian so my Proteins are typically Beans, tofu, TVP and occasionally a non meat product like Beyond meat or Gardein.

I average 70 - 80gms of protein and day and try to keep carbs below 50.

I don't know. I think I eat pretty much the same way I ate pre-WLS. Beans a veggie burgers always felt pretty dense to me and they certainly are filling.

      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.
