Confused with diet plan



Recommended Posts

I just had my first appointment Oct. 31st at Tennova and they gave me a small packet for a 1200 calorie diet (pic included). I'm trying to figure out a meal plan but maybe I'm just confusing myself?? I had a stroke a year ago and my mind just doesn't seem to work the same. If someone could look over my list and help out I'd really appreciate it! :)

You will be fine. It is a little overwhelming at first but suddenly it just clicks and next thing you know you are in a groove and killing it!

I saw this after a search for "confused about meal planning". I started off strong and enjoyed the self-care and empowerment of meal planning, but... my husband does most of the grocery shopping and cooking for the family (don't ask he just prefers it. i pick my battles. ) And I was doing making grocery lists informed by my meal planning and trying to make the meals work for the family and my FINICKY six-year-old. It was really ambitious and confusing. So then I just ate whatever my husband cooked. Then the plateau struck after losing 30lbs in a 1.5 months. I just hit 3 months and have been nibbling red meats including pork for half that time- and i don't really like the taste of meat since the surgery. (It's hard to evolve when your support system isn't)

Back to empowerment--I've recently started eating "Real Good" frozen meals. They break down to about 3 portions a meal for me. Nutrition = as high as Protein 40g with Carbs 4g (6 net). They're really heavy though and I've actually just had a hard time eating since surgery. I'm also, turning to popsicles and Protein Bars.

I started off the same way! And my medical problems got in the way and I've gained 10 pounds back 😭

However I'm still waiting for surgery. But I don't have much of a taste for meat either! I'm gonna have to try those dinners though. You're welcome to message if you'd like to chat!

      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
