feedback on what I ate today



Recommended Posts

I agree w/Jacqui's thinking, as well. For dinner today, I had some beef stew, pureed. It has green Beans, tomatoes, corn, and cabbage in it. It tastes so good and is so filling and nourishing. I have a big pot of it and will freeze most of it...and just thaw and puree as needed!

Sure, I have a Protein drink throughout the day, but I'm not going to obsess over it. I just want to continue to eat healthfully, like I did pre-band...just w/smaller portions.

Wish you the best!

you could do lentil Soup, puree it, it's thick i could only get in about 4-6 oz but tastes sooo good feel like real food, i got sick of chicken soup after day 2! focus on Protein otherwise your hair starts to fall out!

i was told my meals. shakes should never be more than 8 oz and i should drink it within 15-20 minutes . i do 2 calcium chews a day , 2 flinstone chewables w/ Iron, and got my blood pressure meds in liquids makes life alot easier! Good luck on your journey!

Many towns like ours have a Farmers Market, full of fresh locally grown produce. I hit ours every week, and load up on fresh, usually organic, fruits and veggies. My only problem is I want them all NOW!!! I am madly putting things in the freezer, and when I did, I ran onto the stew I blended, back in my liquids/mushies stage!!! I agree, I did my best to eat healthy, but to also eat whatever the family was. I then didn't feel deprived!

Good Luck!!

Thanks everyone.

You've all helped alot. It's one week post-band.

Today I ate:

- 2 chewable vits

- 1/2 Odwalla super Protein shake

- 1 cup thinned cream of wheat made w/ skim milk, butter, and 1/2 maple Syrup

- 2 calcium chews

- 2 Tbs hummus

- 1/2 cup pureed/thinned red fish chowder from whole foods

- 1 organic fudgesicle

- Iron, folate

- Water throughout

How am I doing? I'm worried I'm not getting enough Protein? What do you think?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
