Hi Everyone,

I would like to know what are a few typical days of eating looks like after your are healed from your surgery.

And I know alcohol should be limited after your goal. Can anyone tell be about their experiences with this too?

Thank you for your help.

It was slow going for me with the solids. My surgeon said no liquor for a year. Since I don't drink, I didn't care.

It seems like I have more Protein from shakes than from the solids. I just can't handle more than 1 1/2 oz. of meat per meal. I try, but it's a no go.

You can eat maybe one bite of chicken and a piece of broccoli

I'm only 4 weeks out but here's yesterday for me:

1 Protein shake for Breakfast (30g of protein - Costco's Premier Nutrition in chocolate, the yummiest I've found so far!) 160 cals

lunch was 1/4 cup taco meat, a small amount of low fat cheddar melted on it and about a tablespoon of fat free sour cream (to keep the meat moist). That was 122 cals and 16g protein.

Dinner: veggie Soup (I probably should have added some unflavored Protein powder here but I didn't think of it) 32 calories 1 protein.

2 slices of deli ham: 30 cals 7 protein

Laughing cow light: 1 wedge (25 cals 2 protein) I smeared this on the deli ham and rolled it up

Snack: Babybel light cheese 50 cals 6 protein

2 slices of deli chicken breast meat: 30 cals 5 protein

Total: 67 protein and 449 calories.

Also about 48 oz of crystal light + soup + Protein Shake for hydration, and random trips to the faucet for plain Water.
