need an example menu



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I went to see my doctor due to heartburns . He gave me some medicine for that but he also asked me about my calorie intake which I told him it's 600-750 he said its too low I need to eat 1000-1200 a day. More now that I'm thinking at the gym. Now I have a hard time eating 750cals as is can't imagine what to eat to get me to 1200cal

He also put be back at eating every 2hrs no exceptions. Can someone that is eating that much give me an example of their menus please.... Thank you all :-)

How far are you out from surgery? What were your Surgeon/Nut guidelines? Your doctor may not be well-versed in WLS. I'd consult the Surgeon/Nut.

I'm not sure what my calorie intake is, but I do eat every couple hours. Morning, I ease my stomach into fluids and take my medicine (thyroid). then a Protein Bar, then yogurt, eggs or toast with Peanut Butter. I always eat only things that have nutritional value. Then in the afternoon I eat a few vegetables, Soup (which is not that nutritous but easy to take). Then I eat fruit in the evening as a treat. Hope this helps!

There's a thread here where people are sharing their myfitnesspal names. If you're using that app, it's good to be able to see others daily good diaries.

I'm 10weeks out and my surgeon was the one who told me to eat that many calories

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
