Needing some guidance

sherita · June 7, 2005

Ok, I am now 3 week post op and 18lbs down, I am unsure as to whether I am eating right or not so someone please direct me and tell me if I am hurting myself.

WATER..........always

Breakfast: Protein Drink from GNC: 35 grams, 1g sugar, 2 carbs

Snack: small applesauce

lunch: Soup (cream or tomato) getting OLD!

Dinner: Last night: 2 eggs smashed with Miracle whip light in a 1/2 of a wheat pita thinly sliced and I chewed and chewed and chewed and chewed and chewed.

Snack: skinny cow

Today however I am really tired, did I do something wrong??????

What are you on now? Are you on mushies or full foods?

TrishS · June 7, 2005

depending on what your Dr. has you on at 3weeks out... you might want to drink another protien shake... I know that always boosted my energy level.

I would agree about adding some more Protein. Also, are you taking Vitamins?

sherita · June 7, 2005

I am in the mushy stage- but would that consist of me putting crackers in Tomato Soup? It isn't bothering me. I just bought some liquid vitamins and I will take that tonight. I do not want to mess myself up here but I am getting hungry again unless I do like Tomato Soup with crackers or pita.

Having more Protein will help you from being so tired, by the looks of it, it does not look like you have the 60 reccomended grams of protein a day for us bandsters..try having another protein drink or two, lack of caloric intake can also make you tired so if you up the protein and calories it might make a difference. It's worth a try
