Opinions on kind and amount of food please



Recommended Posts

Two month out and I am worried if I am eating right or if I am consuming too much. Here is a typical day: Breakfast: a Protein shake ( sunwarrior vegan Protein, almond milk, date , banana) lunch : chicken breath grilled and some veggies dinner : boiled egg or tuna or slice of cheese. I also eat fruit either in the evening or early morning. Worried that I am able to consume too big quantities. No cravings or other issues . But not drinking enough Water usually get about a liter and a half . Any advice welcome.

How much chicken are you eating? How much veggies are you eating? How much fruit are you eating? How many total calories are you consuming every day?

Your Water intake sounds ok.

I recommend touching base with a nutritionist or bariatric nurse educator/ case manager regarding their recommendations. Each institution usually have their own program and can guide you as far as what you should be eating and how much/ how often.

Are you weighing/measuring your foods at all?

My doc told me I should be under 1000cal.. I also log my food on my S. Health app on my phone

      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.
