8 weeks post vsg What are you eating?

[Niagaragirl 2]

Hi

I am 8weeks post vsg and just wondering what things anyone else is eating at this point...and how much quantity and calories.

My NUT recommended 80 to 100 gms of Protein and 1000 to 1200 calls per day.

common meals are cheese sticks, sliced turkey, reAdy made tuna packets, taco bowls (gr. Beef topping, skip the shell.

Thank you. I am eating a lot of the same things as you. I just worried that my NUT was wanting me to eat too many calories....

I'm curious too about what people eat 8 weeks out. My surgery is scheduled for md September, which means thanksgiving with the one noses will be about 9 weeks later. I couldn't care less about not eating the traditional meal, but I dread the thought of dealing with all the comments about why I'm not eating like I have n the past. (I haven't decided how open I am going to be about the surgery.)

Niagragirl: My doctor said that as long as I hit my Protein goals -don't worry about the calories. Right now I couldn't physically consume enough to get to 1000 --- unless I was eating junk like milkshakes,etc. I would focus on getting your protein in for now.

ZinNH: At 8 weeks you will be able to eat just about anything, just smaller quantities. Turkey will be on plan, just have a strategy for how to deal. I'm been out to eat with friends who don't know about the surgery... So far, my experience has been that people are so engrossed in conversation that no one notices that I'm eating differently.
