I was sleeved July 2nd - and I LOVE to read about what people are eating on e a regular day. I am horrible about counting calories....but my goal is 60g-70g of Protein a day! I also despise most Protein shakes, and only grab one if rushed or can't be avoided! So please share what you had today - I would love it!!

Breakfast -

one scrambled egg, slice of canadian bacon

lunch -

3 oz crab cake (recipe has been posted in the recipe section) with tablespoon of guacamole

dinner -

3 oz roasted chicken breast with Thai green sauce (blended pablano and jalapeno peppers)

Lots of Water and 12 oz G2 grape gatorade!

snack - one jalapeno string cheese

I am loving this life!!!!

Boy that sure sounds good to me on day 3!

We were sleeved the same day! I had a boiled egg this morning...another one for a snack...one mozarella string cheese stick...two mini chicken drumettes and steamed broccoli crowns with a tbsp of mashed potatoes...plenty of water and I had some grape juice/half water...

Break - 35 gm Protein shake

lunch - 2 oz Meatloaf w mozzarella

Snack - 1.5 oz French Brie

dinner - Crabcake

Water, herbal tea, Powerade zero, low carb milk

MVI, B12, Ca++, Biotin

I had 3/4 of a poached egg with 1/4 c of weight watchers shredded cheese for breakfast. YUM.

Mid morning I had almost half a premier Protein shake.

For lunch I had part of a tomato with a teaspoon of olive oil amd balsamic vinegar. I waited an hour and added an Isnerio's chicken breakfast sausage (40 calories and delicious!).

Afternoon snack was another half Protein Shake.

dinner was 1/2 of a low fat jalapeño cheddar chicken brat. Mmmm.

I enjoy my food more than ever, just in small quantities and making healthier choices.

Breakfast - 1 Morningstar veggie sausage patty, 1 Babybel mini Gouda

AM snack - 1 container Dannon Oikos nonfat plain yogurt with Splenda

lunch - 1 cup unsweetened soy milk

dinner - 2 oz. grilled shark steak, 1 grilled mushroom, 1 oz butternut squash

PM snack- Wasabi soy almonds, glass of Pinot Grigio wine.

Plus LOTS of Water because I was working in the yard for four hours and my usual Vitamin supplements

I'm not telling, because I guess I'm a pig.

One hard boiled egg mashed with a tsp of olive oil for breakfast then I made a homemade burger with crispy wonton wrappers as the bread and put a pickle and red inion for toppings. for dinner some roasted edamame that I roasted. Lots of water and some iced tea. I got in 500 calories and I walked two miles and worked like crazy (restaurant ahift leader)

Let's see.. I had an early meeting, so i had a

protein bar for breakfast

a salad for lunch that had spring greens, grilled chicken, fat free feta, tomatoes, walnuts, a few cranberries and raspberry walnut vinaigrette (all trader joes)

dinner...leftover spaghetti and meatballs (about 1/2 cup with one meatball)

and later i had 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with some strawberry goop in it.

YUM.

And I'm usually checking in at around 800 calories for the day.

Wow thanks for the variation in food, now I have some ideals and I feel so much better about what I am doing, I have been stuck on nasty shakes and I am in the soft food stage.

Ok... Here goes

B- 1/2 scrambled egg 1 slice of bacon

L- 1/2 piece of Tilapia highlander brand)

D- 4 naked chicken wings FRIED!!!!

Snack- Energy Vitamin Water

Do not follow my example here bc I paid dearly for poor choices w a 1.5lb weight gain , very sad about this... Feeling like I can't get control sometimes

Ok: it's awful but to remind you what life was like pre sleeve -

Breakfast: can of regular Pepsi with 6 (SIX!!!!!!) pieces fried chicken, coleslaw and potato/gravy (leftover from last night!)

No lunch

Orange and apple for afternoon snack

No dinner so far from guilt of Breakfast... thinking of 2or3 sausages with veggies or a Protein shake and an early night...

Remember these "good ol" days when you think your having a bad day post sleeve

Oh, this is after I lost 12 kilos in two months but thus week my brain has just gone crazy for no reason- wish I were sleeved NOW!!! Lol

@nenalinda, maybe your not having enough healthy snacks during the day? That doesnt seem like you ate very much during the day... I'm going to make an effort to buy more variety of snacks (fruit, nuts, soups, yoghurts) to ease night time cravings....

I'm not sure but I am told to eat only 3 meals bc I did notice I could easily graze all day and sabotage my overall purpose here. So I try to eat lots of Protein but the scale isn't moving. I want fruit but too many carbs

I actually think fruit is a great snack, and I never put on weight the weeks I eat lots of fruit- it keeps me full and I always just feel healthier

If this is a lifetime thing then eating fruit and veg all day everyday really makes a difference for me I even feel better than yesterday because I had an orange for dinner and today I have had fresh pineapple in natural yoghurt for afternoon tea and still full

Carbs aren't the enemy if they're full of fibre too

Cookeeez: absolutely correct ! Nena: you aren't eating enough calories period. For my body I found that if I eat less than 1000 calories a day, I don't lose weight. I try to keep it under 1200 and definitely get atleast 70g of Protein. This isn't a "die" it, it is a "live" it . Feed your body good things and the sleeve will keep the amounts under control.

Let's see... yesterday I had

B: 8 oz coffee+creamer; 6 oz carbmaster blackberry yogurt; 6 triscuit

L: 3 oz pork chop; 1 oz cheddar; 1 med. apple

D: 3 oz steak; 1/4 cup baked beans; 1 small potato; 1 pat butter

Snack: 1 cup fresh fruit salad; 10 slices pepperoni

Total: 1257 calories, 120g carbs, 53g fat, 79g protein

Kind of a high calorie day, too many carbs & fat, but great protein :-)
