Example of Meals (breakfast, lunch, Supper)



Recommended Posts

OK yesterday I had (remeber big sunday brunch)

before Breakfast

large glass of grapefruit juice (unsweet) I love grapefruits and have problems at times eating any citrus- but I make my juices (12 oz) with morning medicines

breakfast

2 pieces of bacon

1 dollar size pancake with butter & powdered sugar

1 bite of my son's little hash brown (baked) - cause he made me littlerally

4 chuncks of cantalope (1 -2 inch squares)

snack

1 skim milk chug (2 servings) after a huge Water over 30 minutes)

snack

10 gold fish crackers- kids had to feed me again (I have four under age 5 who are afraid I am starving)

11 big grapes

dinner

1 1/2 oz queso fresco (it is crumbly and squissy and fits nicely)

1/4 of a small tortilla

salsa as desired

2 really thin pieces of round steak (less than 1 1/2 oz) *** I made everyone fajitas and quesadillas

1/4 cup refried Beans

and sauteed onins and peppers

large dollop of sour cream

SNACK (later) me bad with pms!!!! and in need of choclate

1/cup of ice cream W choclate sauce

but I am still nursing 1 1/2 kids so I need more fat and slightly more food than most! It is also why I am probably so successful! (I need extra 300-500 cal a day to nurse on top of regular calories- basically Adrian is also sucking my weight off)

But you are guy- so in the land of unfair thing you also need more calories a day too,

Most days I can not eat that much. But I do better with consisten loss when I am at between 1200-1500 calories than if I am lower, I also need about 75 mg of Protein

Alex - Were the Fills painful? I experienced esophagus spasms after my surgery and am hoping that I don't have them when I get a fill. Did you go to MM or Abkin's office?

Hi Kari,

Our docs do all their fills at the hopsital, under fluoroscope. It's not at all painful; the only hassle is actually finding the right room.

I did have one unfill at the office, with Dr. Bertha. He's extremely good and since it was an unfill it was just a matter of taking a little out, no worries.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
