I went to see the NUT this morning and it turns out I'm not taking the right Vitamins. All thou it says its a Multivitamin it's missing some of the nutrients.

I am 7 weeks out and she told me I should be getting all my Protein from solid food and to stop drinking the shakes. She gave me a meal plan that is so do-able.

She also recommends that if I can't finish my meals to try to eat it within an hour.

She also told me to stay away from oatmeal' date=' and keep the carbs down. I should be eating about 70 gm of protein a day. The only time I should have a shake is at night and only if I didn't get in all my protein.

I am happy with this NUT as I've been seeing her since before I knew I was going to have the sleeve done.

BTW.. I tried the Jennie-o turkey patties that are seasoned and it contains 27 grams of protein. And they are yummy I wrapped it in lettuce.[/quote']

Can you give us an example of the meal plan?

How much protein are you getting in a day?

[newgrandmother 725]

Yes I have tried other Greek yogurts & I don't care for them... This is the only one I care to eat & w/ 12grams of Protein - I really like Yoplait but so much sugar but I still eat them sometimes cause they are so good...

So you saw your NUT - well I'm bad w/ protein to -have the time I really don't care to eat b/c of the way it feels after it leaves my throat all gurgley, bubbly just weird & stuck a lil & just don't like it but I make myself anyway...

On Monday they are doing a barium swallow test to make sure all is ok & I'm wondering would a heartburn/antacid help... Also blood work came back & my liver levels & something else was high so my fam Dr ordered me a sonogram of my stomach for the same day... So we'll see what all the outcomes are...

Take care of yourself...

I'm getting about 70 grams of Protein.

The idea is to get about 22-25 per meal.

Breakfast

1 scrambled egg with 2 oz turkey sausage= 21

1/2 banana.

2 tbs avocado.

lunch

3 oz moist chicken 21 protein

1 cup salad

Low fat dressing

Apple

dinner

3 oz baked white fish= 21 protein

1/2 cup zucchini

1/2 cup low sugar fruit cup

Before I get any grief about this being to much food, hear me out.

My NUT said to focus on the protein first with a little of the veggies (to avoid constipation) if you can't finish everything try to come back within an hour to finish

the meal. If not split it into 2 small meals.

I have been doing this and it really does work. I haven't had another Protein shake which is okay with me.

Well sleeve sisters...it CAN be done! I went to my Houston Texans football game and had a blast..even after the sleeve. Well, I am too scared to partake in the alcohol just yet so stuck with Water, a few sips of gatorade and about 1/2 of a Diet Coke. I had a few Cheetos and one hot dog (no bun) while tailgating and then inside the game I was able to tolerate part of an order of nachos. No puking. No problems. Just feel super dry and dehydrated tonight so now drinking more water. But man, all that cold beer sure looked tempting!!!!

Monday Update.....See Tracker

[Justine13 264]

Falling off the face of the earth for a bit it seems. You all are doing awesome! I've been ridiculous when it comes to cheating. Halloween was not a good thing. I still seem to lose though? Of course I'm probably exaggerating a bit with saying how much I'm cheating- I feel like anytime I have something out of the "norm" is cheating when in reality it's not. Ah well- here's to another good week for everyone!!

Ready- keep posted on your testing- thinking of you!

[preetyfatchic 101]
