Today's foods...

Breakfast...

1/2 cup Steel Cut Oats with a splash of Silk soy milk (about 1/4 cup) and some splenda.

2 hard cooked egg whites

lunch...

Small piece of chicken breast diced, maybe equal to 1/2 cup? Done with some homemade BBQ Sauce.< /p>

1/2 cup sesame garlic green Beans, splashed with some soy sauce

Supper...

1 Nutrisystem meal, rotini with tiny meatballs (dont usually eat this stuff but I was given a case of it so am trying to use it up where I can)

another 1/2 cup of the green Beans

I may have a greek yogurt later this evening or a high Protein Gelatin snack, depending on if I stay up very late into the night or not.

My Mom is currently in the hospital (she had a mild heart attack) and I have been worried about her so surprised I was able to stick to eating like I should.

So far today....

NO BREAKFAST....

I ended up sleeping in late so will have my 3rd meal later tonight and call it snack time, even though it will be a small meal of some sort, maybe a greek yogurt and some cucumbers or some chicken breast and a yogurt.

lunch...

Small can tuna in Water, drained, added in 1 tsp fat free mayo and a bit of pickle relish, heated in microwave to make a tuna melt and added a sprinkling of fat free cheddar on top to melt.

1 cup of black bean tortilla Soup - (another Nutrisystem meal, yep, am trying desperately to use these up so they are out of my house, lol). The taste on this one actually is pretty good. I have had it with a bit of mild salsa mixed in and some fat free sour cream on top and it isnt bad.

SUPPER...

To be determined but am most likely making some baked cod fish fillets in the oven and will eat one small filet, maybe a tiny portion of some wild rice and/or quinoa, and some type of veggie, probably oven roasted broccoli with sesame seeds/olive oil/garlic (I usually eat 1/2 to 1 cup of veggie depending on if I have anything else with the Protein or not).

Oh and will down a 26 gram Protein shot later today.

Ok, I know I'm going to get myself in trouble but it seems like most of you are basically on a very restricitive diet! If that works long term, great, but I think all my dieting is how I got fat.

I eat small portions of regular food! I will NEVER eat anything low fat or low calorie or fake sugar or anything like that!

I eat regular food, focus on Protein, but my band only lets me eat tiny meals....

yesterday I had two portions of lasagna, a serving of sauteed spinach , some sushi, cheeses and crackers, and some wine.

I probably eat bout six times a day...

I'm not on a restrictive diet..I eat whatever I want when I want to eat it...I just know that I shouldn't be able to wolf down a whole grilled chicken sandwich from McDonalds...or a 6 inch sub from subway. You said it yourself....little protions...and what I'm able to eat right now isn't little anything.

Today:

Three months out - lost 27 lbs

Breakfast 1 scrambled egg and EAS carb control Protein Shake

Lunch: FIsh, cooked carrots and peas, two small bites of mashed potatoes

Snack: nutrisystem chocolate Peanut Butter bar

Dinner: Salmon and a plum

Too many carbs, in my opinion. The nutrisystem bar put me over in carbs. Have to watch that in the future.

How did this sound for a breakfast/lunch? I am trying to follow a high protein/low carb diet. What is a low carb diet (how many) anyway? 1 can of crab = 2 servings = 2 carbs/14 Protein, 4 tbls low fat mayo = 8 carb/ 0 protein,1 tbls relish = 2 carbs/0 protein. SO THIS breakfast/lunch totaled 12 carbs / 14 protein.

Your thoughts, please?

      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?
