14 Days Out. Am I Eating And Drinking Too Much?

I drink a protein shake in the morning. Half a yogurt mid morning. Cream of broccoli soup for lunch, late afternoon half a yogurt. Get home drink another protein shake with some yogurt or some applesauce.

Is that too much?

I am 2.5 weeks out from my surgery and I often think that I too eat too much, for example, today I had a 4 to 6 oz protien shake for breakfast some chicken broth w saltine crakers for lunch. Dinner was chicken and stars soup, and I also had about 5 pieces of sandwich meat with cheese and I have had water to drink today with a 8oz glass of juice. I know I am a little further out than you but I still get a little concerned.

I dont think your eating too much. As long as ur following the guidelines and keeping protein first, and drink ur luiquids. it sounds ur doing just fine.

My only thought is are you getting in enough protein each day. This is the most important to keep your body functioning well.

I got sleeved on 9/18, I started stage two on 9/19, a typical day for me includes the following.

  • Breakfast - Egg whites or 100 calorie pack of cottage cheese and a Protein shake about half hour-hour later
  • lunch - Tuna salad or chicken salad with fat free mayo and a Protein Shake about half hour-hour later
  • dinner - Turkey burger or turkey meatballs about 3 of them or turkey meatloaf,and a protein shake about half hour-hour later

Portion sizes should be 3-4 ounces or the size of your palm.

i also try and drink addtl Fluid throughout the day.

This is all guidlines by my nutrtionist, and i am down about 30 pounds so far.
