What's everyone eating?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

Can you please share with me what a typical day of your meals are? I'm just curious what everyone is eating once they moved into regular foods.

Thanks!!

I will tell you what I have planned. It defiantly doesn't mean that it will stay down. I am 9 weeks out and struggle to get my Protein and Water in. Nothing tastes good and my pouch is super picky.

breakfast: premier Protein shake

lunch: 2 pieces of turkey rolled up with shredded cheese in the middle. cook on the stove to melt the cheese

dinner: 1 ounce of buffalo ranch chicken with 5 Keebler low fat crackers

snack: Yoplait whipped greek yogurt and a bottle of Protein h2O Water.< /p>

This should get me close to my 60 grams of protein.

I am 5 months post op, I eat half of a Jimmy Deans Delight honey wheat English muffin with bacon, egg and cheese for Breakfast 105 calories. 9 or 10 grs of Protein. Or packet of grits, Quaker oats. I usually eat s 250 calorie or less lean cuisine for lunch some of these have as many as 20 grams of protein. And my dinner is whatever I would normally feed my family, just small portions.

I am 3 months post-op and I switch off between turkey, fish, and crab for my Proteins. chicken doesn't agree with me anymore. Here is a common day:

0630-0700: super multigrain Quakers banana walnut oatmeal w/ 30g scoop of Protein

1100-1100: 1/2 cup of Caesar salad (no croutons) or left overs (eggplant parmesan or enchilada soup)

1500-1600: Quest or Think Thin Protein Bar or mashed potatoes

1900-1930: one of the meats listed above and some veggies

If I'm up late, I might have a sugar free desert a few hours later.

I have lost 53lbs since surgery and my surgeon seems to be happy with my progress.

Un only a 1 week and I have to drink very small, I can only imagine how long is going to take me to eat! How long it take you to eat at 3 months. I'm going back to work on march 30 and I only have 1 hr lunch break I don't want to spent the all hr eating lol.

Today I had coffee with a scoop of Protein powder for breakfast

lunch was a Hilary's black bean & adzuki burger with a bit of shredded cheese topped with a sunny side up egg & salsa

dinner was 1 cup of homemade cabbage & white bean Soup. I added half a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder to the broth.

I'm 6mths in & a vegetarian. According to myfitnesspal my calories for today are 741, carbs 41 & Protein 92. Sunday is my lazy day so I eat light.

      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
