Didn't your surgeon and/or NUT give you guidelines?

Are you tracking your intake? If you aren't, either go back to it or start. Really. That's the only way to know.

I weigh my food and track it with an app. If you weigh and track your food you know exactly where you went wrong.

I am 8 months out. What I eat varies by my mood. I have one Protein shake a day. A steak or 2, 4 to 5 ounces. 6 ounces of fish. I eat 4 times a day and try to have 100 to 120 grams of Protein a day. I try to keep my calories above 700 and below 1100. I still have some high and low days, it just depends on my mood. I keep my net carbs below 50, my goal is below 30 but that can be hard some days.

My surgeon says 900-1100 calories from 3 months post op until forever. Every surgeon has different guidelines I suppose. Somedays I manage to eat a little more than that, but it is with purpose as I am very active. I log everything.

I am 5 months post-op and this is my abbreviated meal plan:

Log my food & any exercise daily

900-1,100 calories per day

60-80g of Protein

At least 64 oz. of Water

No bread, rice or Pasta

No dried fruit or hard, raw veggies

Eat Protein first and have protein at every meal/snack

Avoid high fat foods (5g or less per serving)

Avoid high sugar foods (14g or less per serving/25g or less per day)

Avoid high sodium foods

Take my Multivitamins

Exercise 5 hours per week

Typical Breakfast is a smoothie (Protein shake, 1/2 banana, PB fit) or Fiber Cereal w/milk, lunch is 1/2 c. refried Beans with cheese & ff sour cream or a salad with grilled chicken and low-fat dressing, dinner is chicken breast or shrimp or lean beef with steamed veggies or a baked sweet potato. Snacks are string cheese or triple zero yogurt or cottage cheese or almonds. Sometimes I will make chicken salad out of canned chicken and snack on that over a few days with a couple wheat thins crackers. I've been craving cuties lately, so I've incorporated one a day this week.

I usually log my food and try to drink more Water. I was going threw my food log in my fitness pal and I usually stay under 1100 calories but they are some days I go over and hit 1500 calories and I also notice is around the time I have will get my period or have it. I tend to crave sweets like Cookies and stuff i should not have.

I had one egg ( over easy) two pieces of bacon and a mini tortilla for break fast.

snack I had a Believe Mocha Latte

lunch I will have chicken breast 4oz, 1/4 of a cucumber, one boiled egg and a table spoon of dressing so far this is 551 calories. I should stop eating mini tortilla for Breakfast . I still don't know what i will be having for dinner.

      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.
