Question - Scared...

[Logikbomb 0]

Hello,

I had my surgery on June 25'th but he did not tighten it yet. That happens on July 27'th. I have been following the guide, no not really... I have been doing Protein Drinks every day so far. I dont know really what to eat and I am running out of Protein drinks and those things we're massivly expensive... 1 month of them is 600 dollars! Since I have not been tightened yet my hunger is still there kicking my ass but I have been on protein drinks for 1 month pre opt and from the 25'th of june to the 17'th of july. I have about 4 days of them left and my tightening is in 10 days. I am scared and dont know what to do/eat.

I really want to skip the pureed(spelling?) part and am trying to do so... After my first tightening what will my diet consist of? Seem's I am just healing my wounds right now.

Let me get this straight...the only thing you've had has been protien drinks? Ok, did the doctor or nutritionist give you any kind of plan? Here is how my plan went:

Days 1-4 clear liquid (Isopure, popcicles, Jello, broth)

Days 5-14 liquids (yogurt, pudding, cream Soups, cream of wheat (made soupy) mashed potatos (made soupy) etc.

Days 14-21 pureed (tuna, applesauce, chicken etc) I pretty much stuck to pureed Soups and tuna

Days 22-28 mushie food (refried Beans, eggs, )

Days 28 and on transition to regular food

Now as days progressed you could still eat the things you had prior. By your first fill you should be eating regular food. Eating your protien first, then veggies, then carbs. You should be getting at least 60-100 grams of protien in. Your body can only absorb around 25 grams of protien at at time so your shakes or protien drinks should only be a filler or like a meal on the go (at least that's how I do it). I hope this helps you.
