daily menus?



Recommended Posts

:)

Hi everyone, I was just wondering how many of you follow a daily menu regimen? I think I need one, I have been keeping a food journal and notice my "bad" time is between 6pm and 8pm, when I get "head" munchies..

Can anyone tell me what to do and what they eat on a weekly basis?

Thanks, Sheila:help:

I don't really have a daily menu, but some staples in my diet are:

Breakfast- Wheat Crackers, Cheddar cheese, fruit or Scrambled eggs and fruit

Lunch- More crackers, lunch meat and cheese with fruit

or salad with meat and cheese low cal dressing and fruit

Dinner- Lean meat, potato, Pasta or brown rice, veggie and fruit

At night I have gotten into a habit of drinking a cup of hot cocoa- sugar free fat free with fatfree reddi whip- puts me right to sleep.

Hope this helps

My eating plan was a little off for a few months (therfore my loss stalled!) so I am back on the horse. Right now I am eating Protein, veggies, low fat dairy and whole grains.

I have been logging my foods in my journal, feel free to peruse.

I will say my favorite dessert is what I call the frozen Peanut Butter cup. I take 1 sf ff fudgesicle, 1T natural PB and melt it in the microwave for a bout 15 seconds. Mix hat up and fold in 2T lite cool whip. Freeze it until ice cream consistency (or less if you want it to be like a mousse). It is so good and hits the sweet spot at night.

My meals right now are a lot of salads with grilled chicken. I also love making fajitas and eating them without the tortillas, maybe adding some LF cheddar and light sour cream. So yummy! I marinade the chicken in some lime juice, cumin, cayenne & oil. Nice flavor if grilled with peppers, onions and garlic.

      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.
