What is everyone eating?

I'm lucky to reach Protein and not enough Water intake.

I've been try a 4oz Greek yogurt for Breakfast, then Soup or some 1/2 wrap and finally chicken for dinner.< /p>

I'm not hungry or thirsty.... Looking for help.

For Protein I'm going to keep the unflavored protein on hand in the hopes that I can at least boost the protein in yogurt or Soup if needed.

I bought some hydrolized Protein that goes in Water and turns into more of a juice. Three scoops has 60 grams of protein. You're getting your water and protein all in one

On phone. Lots of typos.

I guess I'm fortunate in that I can eat almost anything. I focus mostly on meet and cheese, cheese and meat. Then eggs or eggbeaters. Today I might try cottage cheese again, but I find it quite boring.

Here is what I ate yesterday. Portions are very small. I don't eat bread or Pasta becaise 1) not a gold source of Protein, 2) it just seems like a filler food to me and 3) it makes me crave more carbs and I don't need that. Not yet anyway.

My goal is

600-800 calories

60+oz fluids

64g + protein

Less than 60 carbs.

That's not to say that Ieet those goals but that's my plan. I still don't get 64oz fluids and I don't think I've made the protein very often. I don't love Protein Drinks, I'd rather chew my calories and my protein, so I'm trying to get in a lot of that.

I know it's hard and I am certainly not perfect when it comes to getting my Protein and Water levels met every single day, BUT it is so important!

I had a couple of days last week where I barely hit a few cups of water and I was dizzy and lightheaded the entire time. Push those fluids! I know it sucks to feel like all you do all day is drink but you've got to try.

I start my mornings with a 30g Protein Shake and do my best to get at least 60g total. I have to say, more is better, though. :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
