September surgeries!

What do you guys eat daily? Im struggling to eat enough protein!

I was sleeved 9/28/15. I struggle to get in enough calories to stay out of starvation mode but I'm doing ok hitting my Protein of 60 or more grams a day. I eat every morning one turkey sausage link, (almost) one egg and a tablespoon of shredded cheddar for Breakfast. For morning snack a light baby bell cheese, lunch is 2oz of protein and a light laughing cow cheese wedge. I try to eat a light Greek yogurt for afternoon snack. dinner is about 2 oz of whatever protein I am making for my family for dinner. And if I haven't hit my protein for the day I'll have a cup of Kroger carb master chocolate milk (11grams protein in 8oz). I am trying to not do the Protein Shakes unless I have a really low day with food intake. I also can't eat more then just about the 2 oz at a time so that's why I have to do the Snacks in between. Some days I also will eat a cup of Smartlife light white cheddar popcorn for a snack. Even with the snacks and all most days I barley hit 600 calories. I track everything through my fitness pal.

On a typical day, I have a Protein shake in the morning.. Greek yogurt for my morning snack, some sort of dense Protein for lunch (leftovers from the night before). dinner is fish or chicken. If I feel the need for something later......cottage cheese, SF popsicles,

On the weekends, I make a scrambled egg with spinach and feta for breakfast.

Breakfast is usually 1 egg and 2 slices turkey bacon, snack is usually a oikos triple zero yogurt or string cheese, lunch tuna fish or a high Protein weight watchers meal-i usually eat about 1/2 of it, then dinner is salmon chicken or some other meat and a veg.

Are there any people out there who had surgery in September? I had mine September 1st. I feel like all the posts I see are Oct and Nov or people waiting to have surgery. I'd like to be able to keep in touch with some who are around the same post op as me.

Yay!!! I feel the same as you. I've been searching for others close to my date! September 3 so just a couple days after you.

Thank you! I really hope I am but trying not to get my hopes up. Just broke a 3 week stall so trying to stay positive. It is a great feeling! So good every week I fear the scale stopping.

Congrats. Doing amazing!!! Did you do anything different than your norm to break your stall?

Thank you for sharing. Great info. What exactly is the amount to stay clear of starvation? I struggle to get in 400 to 500 calories daily unless I push to eat in between meals.

Omg I know!!! I'm always told to increase if I stalk, but it's hard to wrap my head around it. It does however work. ????

My NUT said that at this point I should be between 600 & 800 calories a day to stay in weight loss mode and not hit starvation mode. That's why she suggested the popcorn or carbmaster milk.

I had my surgery on 9/30/15. I have had a good experience so far, no nausea, have lost a dress size. I do have a hard time reaching my protein/liquid goals. For the past week, I have felt hunger most of the time, which is surprising to me because I thought I wouldn't feel hungry after the surgery. My dietician has said that if I work on getting more Protein the hunger should subside. Anyone else having this issue?

Hi @@sbell1414 i feel exactly the same!
