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?

mdm how are you doing over there. i hope things are better.

I eat the light & fit yogurt but didn't know they made a Greek one' date=' not that I like Greek yogurt but I'll give it a try.

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.

Do you like cottage cheese? sometimes i scramble mine with a bit of cottage cheese in it. I love it! I sometimes put in sauteed onions too:)

i love cottege cheese but not in my eggs lol. had another run to the bathroom the syrup went straght through me omg all day

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

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!

I am from India...and we have this big festival called Diwali coming up....its all about lights,fireworks...and SWEETS....different types of sweets ... I just hope I can avoid the temptation....i dont have a major sweet tooth but I have noticed that I find it hard to resist post op!! my will power is going to be tested to the max!!!

Even though I am cleared to eat a greater variety of foods than I am currently eating, I go back to earlier options. It doesn't make sense, but I also try little bits of things that are not quite allowed yet. My sleeve is guiding me, not my mouth. Regardless of how my taste buds feel about it, if my sleeve likes it then it gets what it likes.

I had some organic chicken and vegetables baby food for supper last night. Even salt didn't help the taste much, but my sleeve loved it and I could eat the whole 3 oz. I also had 1.5 whites from two boiled eggs. Both worked great.

Vegan black bean soup at lunch last Thursday was a bust. I probably had 4 spoons of the broth and maybe 10 beans in all. That was all I could take of that. Unfortunately, a shortbread cookie went down just fine. Trying some pork rinds from the break room at work was a truly horrible idea. I felt like concrete had been poured in my stomach and the feeling lasted for over 4 hours.

I still haven't thrown up anything so far, nor have I felt even close to that experience. What I do feel is something like having a handfull of gravel in my stomach, which is extremely unpleasant. I don't see giving up shakes anytime in the foreseeable future. They are too soothing to my stomach, regardless of what my taste buds think.

Most days I eat under 500 calories and I've lost 29 lbs in 40 days which is probably an average loss. I've seen a lot of people who have lost a lot more and a lot less in the same amount of time. I've gone over 500 a few times, but not very far and those were days when I was tasting something I probably shouldn't have.
