HI everyone! I thought i would share my daily menu @ 8 weeks out. Please let me know what you think about what im eating so i know if im eating ok.

Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg and one turkey sausage ( i leave a bite or 2 of the sausage) or one lowfat lasagna cupcake from emilybites.com or a pure Protein bar 30 grams of protein.

Snack: half an apple or a handful of trail mix or 1/4 cup or a little more of cottage cheese

Lunch: 1 lasagna cupcake or 1/2 cup chicken tortilla Soup made with fresh veggies and roasted chicken sprinkled with lowfat cheese and 4 small round tortilla chips crushed. Sometimes a little avacado aswell. Or half a sandwich

Snack: same as mid morning snack.

Dinner: same as lunch choices or 1 party bean burrito from taco bueno or a small chicken nugget at chick fila or a taco.

So happy to see something from Taco Bueno! It's one of the places that would be tough to give up. Do you eat the whole tortilla as well? What about protein shakes? Are they pretty much out of the picture? I hope to have the surgery in August/September. Thanks!

Yes, i eat the tortilla. And protein shakes make me so sick :-( the only ones i can tollerate are slim fast carb control protein shakes.

I'm a little over 3 mos out & for me personally I would skip the chips, sandwich & would try to up the protein....BUT.....everyone should do what works for them. Chips are carbs I could skip in soup & there's no way I could eat a sandwich because the bread would kill me & I'd throw it up. Maybe add pb to your apple for protein?? Are you tracking your food? You should try myfitnesspal.com It has helped me soooo much in making sure that my choices are as good as I *think* they are. But again, some people are nazi's about carbs, some eat whatever they want & some try to manage their carb/protein intake w/o totally denying themselves. It's a totally individual choice, imho
