What I Ate Today!



Recommended Posts

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!!!!

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. :)

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: 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 :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
