Share ideas, What did you eat today ?



Recommended Posts

I see that many people tell how many oz of meat you eat. Do you REALLY weigh your food or are you giving "guestimations"?

I have started working 10 hour days and discovered that i am a "grazer/snacker'----100 calorie packs are NOT my friend....Chocolate covered almonds--NOT my friend!!!

I went today and bought trail mix and yoguart covered almonds....Don't know how healthy that is--but at least it's fiber!!!

today--

b-choc pb Protein shake

l-camplbell's cup o chili

s-snack cherrios, 2 raspberries, 1/2 kit kat

d-left over chinese food (about 3 tbspoons)

big baby - outside of going out to eat, i do measure/weigh out my food...if i don't i WILL eat more, even when i don't need it.

since your days are busier - might need to plan out your meals; make in advance, if i don't start the day with a good idea of what my meals will be, the tendency to make a poor choice in food is likely in my future.

yesterday -

b- 1/2c kashi oat w/2%milke with half banana

l- 2oz grilled chicken

d- 3 coconut shrimp, glass of chardonay

s- SB chocolate soy nuts

Big Baby, I agree totally with Luluc. I weigh my food as well, because I believe it's important to (1) keep my portion sizes consistent, (2) ensure I get enough Protein in my day, and (3) not overstretch my pouch with too much food, because my eyes are ALWAYS bigger than my stomach! :thumbup:

I also strongly believe in a "food plan" - I pack my lunch box every day (sometimes even on the weekends) with my planned meals, and stick to it. More often than not, I don't even eat everything in my lunch box. ("Lunch Box" is a bit of a misnomer, since it includes my Breakfast and sometimes my dinner also.)

It's a different lifestyle, requiring many changes to personal habits and strategies. But it's worth it!

Hugs,

Donna

      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.
