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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
