Another board has what are you eating threads almost everyday. I was thinking we could have the same thing here. I will try to keep up with mine. It might keep me clean about how good or bad I am doing with my Protein vs calories and such.

Feel free to put yours down. You don't have to put calories and protein if you want, just what you have been eating. It might help newbies get an idea of what we eat after surgery.

Newbies feel free to post what you eat too! Even if you are pre op it helps to see it up sometimes in making sure you are staying on track. You might want to note you are pre-op so people are not wondering about a large intake than a post op.

Breakfast- 1 scoop of chocolate unjury powder and 2 cup of skim milk. Snack- fage yogurt with strawberry.

Lunch- 1/2 cup of wendy's chili and 1 oz of white cheddar cheese

I did great day and got in 60 oz of water today on top of my shakes! wooo hoooo

I will probably have a SF popsicle later on

Chancie: You could slim that down by using low cal mayo or this great new olive oil mayo that is out. Kraft makes it I believe. The olive oil would taste fab with that I bet!

Bad day today......

I FORGOT to eat!..... all day!

I had my coffee and protein as usuall, but after that things got away from me.

I bought a new stove and had to have someone come out and hook up the vent hood, and I had my dryer he had to fix, and then I was in the middle of cleaning house, and yes, it just got away from me.

So I remembered, and took some chiken and brocolli out and I tried to eat, was good going in, but 10 minutes later.......I vomited it all up. it was HORRIBLE !!

Think it was because I waited so long to eat???

I didn't eat too fast....... ( HONEST!! )

But, man it was gross!!

Did you take tiny bites and chew well? I can't imagine why it would come back up if you did, especially if you did not get too full.

You don't cook do ya? I love cooking .. just made a pot of homemade cream of chicken soup :lol0: Soooo yummy!

Well today I tried DownInSoCal's ham roll-ups (although mine were Turkey) - light cream cheese, artichoke hearts & spinach blended together and spread on deli meat. I added some minced garlic and sea salt to the mixture as well. It is SO YUMMY. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a big bowl (like 6oz - how my perception after VSG has changed) of it in my fridge and I am already looking forward to having it again tomorrow.

Anyway, here's what I had today:

Breakfast: Protein Hot Chocolate made with coffee

24 oz water

Lunch: 2 turkey roll ups (3oz turkey)

20 oz water w/ crystal light

Snack: 1 turkey roll up (1.5oz turkey)

20 oz water

Dinner: 1/4 cup leftover taco meat with just a sprinkle of 2% grated chedder and a tbsp of light sour cream and salsa

24 oz water w/ crystal light

Dessert: ?? Probably a Bariwise Caramel Crunch Protein Bar (like a 100 Grand candy bar) - yummers!

iLinda, I so wish I could eat like you. I am still on mushies.I want to chew something crunchy so bad. It could be something healthy, I do not care. I did not realize I would miss chewing so much. I know when I get to the whole foods stage I will get to chewX3, but, I am miserable waiting. I am just tired of drinking everything. Okay, my whiny rag is over. Thanks for listening everyone. BTW:The scale at the gym I joined weighs me at 4 lbs lighter than my scale at home! What is up with that? The Dr's scale weighted me 3lbs lighter. I am still going by what my home scale sez. Maybe I will get a new one, one that does body fat as well as weight. Has anyone bought one of thoes and does it help at all? My BMI at the gym was 3 points higher than here also? I need to stop obcessing about the scale and BMI huh? Ok. Off to have my cream of wheat.

The other scales are more accurate. Home scales are not calibrated as well as drs office/gym scales.

Just got in from the grocery store, and I bought all the stuff to make the roll ups too!!

I also bought stuff to make quiche, since I have my oven back. I have SEVERAL recipes for it, so not sure which one I'm gonna make, but will post on recipe sharring when I do decide.

Breakfast- Coffee and protein 230 Cal- 6 carbs- 52 protein

Lunch- lean Cuisine Herb roasted chicken

180 Cal. 20 carbs-20g. Protein

Dinner- Gonna make the Quich!!

Chancie -

What protein powder do you put in your coffee? 52 g protein - wow! I had that same Lean Cuisine the day before yesterday. I couldn't finish it all. I had to laugh because never before could I imagine myself not being able to eat a WHOLE Lean Cuisine.

Chancie - Eat it! I spread mine in two slices of swiss, colby, munster, or other cheese and roll it up, lunch. I also put it on lunch meats. You can put it on crackers or pita chips too too. I also eat it straight. Some people like it on hard boiled eggs.

Linda: When are you going to post pics? You always eat so good and do good with your water. You are like the model VSG'r.

Yesterday:

Breakfast: 8 oz steamed milk

Snack: Halloween cookie! It was good

Lunch: Pureed chicken with a little shredded cheddar and 1 tsp blue cheese dressing, and pureed carrots. About 5 oz in total. Took me over an hour but I wanted the carrots bad. They are so sweet and fab when pureed.

Dinner: 4 oz refried beans with a sprinkle cheddar and dollap light sour cream. I didn't finish it all.

Down in Socal -

No, not a model VSG'r - my weakness is currently RF Wheat Thins. I haven't bought another box so hopefully I can resist them. My family and I eat out several times a week after ball games and I definitely eat some of the "wrong" things at those times, I just don't have very much of it. My goal on most days is to eat well for breakfast, lunch and snack so I can have whatever I want for dinner. If a happen to be home for dinner, I usually eat well; if we go out, it's hit or miss.

As for pictures, I will have to get my husband to take some new ones to post. I starting to feel the pressure

Linda-

I use the Body Fortress Cookies N' Creme- It's kinda sweet- I couldn't drink it early out, but now I LOVE it in coffee.

My bad- it has 270 cals ( per 2 scoops)

7 carbs

52 protein

I split it up between 3-4 cups of coffee........ yeah. ino probably drinking too much coffee, but I love it in the mornings now.

They sell it at wal-mart, but not all walmarts carry this flavor. I can only find it at one store, so I usually buy 2 at a time at 14.99 each. Last a long time.

Loved your answer Social!!:thumbup: Gonna try it for lunch today!

They had all different kinds, I just got the original to be safe, but I love garlic- have you tried that flavor?
