Please Help Me Plan :)



Recommended Posts

So I thought it might be fun (and very, very helpful for myself and others) to try to generate some menu ideas. I do not do well without a plan and it takes me FOREVER! to write up menus for myself. I know we cannot all eat the same things sometimes but who better to know what a good lapband day should look like than my fellow lapbanders. So if you could tell me what you would eat for a whole day while following the lapband rules and even how you prepare the food (if you like) I would be so very appreciative :)

I'm still on mushies and have lots to learn! Here's my day:

Breakfast: GNC Total Lean shake, 8 oz caffeinated coffee, 4 oz milk, 1tsp sugar free vanilla Syrup

Lunch: 1/2 tuna packet with 1 tbsp low-fat olive oil mayo, 1/4 whole wheat toasted bagel thin, 1/2 cup diced watermelon

Snack: Isopure zero carb grape drink

Dinner: 1/2 cup chicken tortilla Soup (without tortilla), 1 oz shredded low fat cheese, 1 tbsp fat free sour cream

Desert: sugar free chocolate pudding

Fluid intake: 96oz Water, 8oz crystal light

Does anyone eat flour tortillas? Will I ever be able to have one of those again?

Have any of you tried cooking those little meals in cupcake pans?

Have any of you tried cooking those little meals in cupcake pans?

I am going to make muffin tin breakfasts tonight for the next week.

I am planning on using the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage, liquid egg (probably southwest flavor), fat free cheddar, and some veggies (maybe some onion and mixed pepper).

Lunches would be nice, but I don't know what I would make. I see meatloafs and other foods that don't look too healthy.

My goal this week is to 100% plan my food and keep calories at 1200 or less with at least 45 minutes of exercise most days.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
