On My Way... But I Still Need Structure....



Recommended Posts

Okay.... I made it through the puree stage.. and the soft food stage.. and my doc wants me to eat high Protein now.. okay I am fine with this however I need structure... I want a plan that I can follow day by day.. I want to know what I am supposed to eat every day instead of trying to guess my way around the day. I do not eat anything that I am not supposed to be eating but I know for sure that I am not eating all that I need to. I have had one fill and I am still getting hunger pains 2 hours after eating. Very distressful... I know there is more that I can be doing ... does any one know of any web sites that offer a structured diet plan?? Next step will to see a nutrition, and it is covered under my insurance.. just wanted to try to do this on my own... any suggestions would be greatly welcomed and appreciated!!

Happy Losing to all !!

I ate pretty much the same thing everyday for Breakfast and lunch. I would switch it up every few months. My dinner depends on what I am making for the family.

breakfast- 2 egg whites, 1 oz chedder cheese. or I would do 1/2 oz cheese and have half an OroWheat thin toast with the eggs.

Now I am having a yogurt with 1/2 c Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal with a couple of strawberries chopped up.

Lunch- 2 or 3 ounces lunch meat, 1 oz sliced chedder, veggies and a few grapes.

or canned chicken with 1/2 T mayo and veggies. NOw I have been having some Lean Cuisines.

My dinner just depends. But I usually have 3 ounces Protein, veggies and 1/4 mashed potatoes or a small baked potato.

It has been easy for me because this is what I would have normally ate for the meals before. Except I do miss not having toast for Breakfast now. It is prob the only thing I really miss!

Sometimes eating the same things gets boring but it is easy to plan and I know where I am at caloriewise. I also really like these carmelized onion chicken patties from costco. Add a little teriyaki and it is so good!

Anyways, all this talking about food, I am ready for lunch!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
