And how far out are you.

I am 11 weeks out and this is an example of my daily meal plan:

unflavored Protein powder mixed in.

1 lf cheese stick.

Lunch: 2oz Turkey Breast

1 lf cheese stick

FF french onion dip

Melba Toast (4)

Dinner: Sam's chicken meatballs (3)

Cucumbers (about 6 slices peeled)

ff french onion dip

Then I have at least one Protein Drink of some kind. I usually like Syntax nectar drinks that you mix with 16 oz of Water. So I am getting 23 grams of protein and 16 oz of water at the same time.

I am 3 weeks out and I have a protein shake for breakfast, egg/ham mini-muffins (x2) or cream cheese for morning snack,then chicken, meatballs, ham/cheese roll ups, beans/cheese or something like that for lunch and dinner. My protein shake in the morning gives me 1/2 of my protein for the day....then I try to eat something with at least 6g. of protein every 3-4 hours....once I get all my protein in for the day, I focus on liquids. Which I'm still only getting in about 32 oz. of......still working on increasing that. It's harder that it sounds. lol

I am four weeks out:

I usually have my shake in the morning, A scoop of Pure Protein chocolate frosty, 2 tsps PB2 and a cup of Smart Balance fat free milk. 41gm Protein.

3oz chicken salad made with Fat free Mayo and a small spoon of Cranberry sauce on top for extra flavor.

Snack : low fat cheese stick

DInner: 3/4 oz homemade meatloaf, made with 97%FF ground beef or turkey.& a tsp of sweet potato or other veg.

Depending on my intake for the day I'll add some Oikos Greek yogurt.

I'm able to get in at least 64oz. of Water a day , I'll usually break that up with a bottle of Vitamin water zero.

At 3 months:

B- Protein shake w/ skim milk (30 g. prot.)

Snack- Greek yogurt w/ fruit (12 g.)

L- 1/2 sm. Wendy's chili, 1/2 cup lite chicken soups, Smart Ones-1/2 serving lunch (excess bread removed), or cold cuts (2 slices turkey or ham, one slice of cheese) or cottage cheese w/fruit on side. (10 g.)

Snack- low fat cheese stick, unsweetened applesauce cup

D- whatever I'm cooking for family- protein 1st then veggies.

Desert- sugar free jello with Tbl. crushed almonds

Ta-da! About 600-650 cals. 60-70 grams if protein. Plus water w. Crystal Lite all day (1 hr. after meals ... It's hard!)

Are you counting your protein shake as part of our liquids? I heard it counts.

I am 6 months out:

Breakfast (6am): 8 oz Protein shake with chia seeds during work week or feta eggs and turkey sausage links (2) on weekend.

Snack(9am): 3 oz chicken sausage

Lunch(12pm): 4-5 oz chicken patty with seaweed salad

Snack(3pm): 3 oz chicken sausage

Dinner(6-7 pm): whatever the wife is making or eat out. Try and aim for 3 oz protein and 2oz veggies. She works hard to make sleeve friendly meals.

Snack(9-10 pm): 8 oz Protein Shake with chia seeds

I drink flavored Water all day. I have a 32 oz water bottle and refill it about 8-10 x a day.

Exercise is about 1 hour a day alternating between running and weight training (DVD with bob Harper called inside out)

Heaviest: 360 lb

DOS: 335 lb

Current: 195 lb.

I see from reading others posts, my inability to tolerate chicken, eggs and most veggies is pretty uncommon at 3 months. I'm wondering why my dr. didn't question me more about it yesterday. I guess everyone's stomach heals differently. As long as I'm making protein req. I guess I'm ok. Finally could eat some iceberg lettuce this week, but still no dark greens. I miss eggs! Eventually...I'm sure (I hope!).

My day yesterday :

B: 8 oz cup of milk and almonds raw

L: lettuce wrap w/ turkey, olives, and feta

S: Protein shake

D: 2 oz lamb, feta, olives wrapped in 1/4 pita

S: fiber/protein bar

No I'm not, I asked my nutritionist because I thought it counted to, but she said the 64 oz. liquid is in addition to the protein shakes.

i am only 3 1/2 weeks out and just starting on the soft foods. when you say your tummy doesn't tolerate things, what happens? some of the same things i have been trying have been "coming back up". not throwing up but just like baby burp type, minus the burp! sorry that sounds gross but i'm sure you understand! lol

It's so crazy the difference in drs and nutritionist. I was told by my nursing staff and my surgeons office including nutritionist that it definitely counts towards are 64oz of fluid intake.

Best bet is do the best you can!!
