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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
