OK so I read and read on here where a lot of you evenp up to 5 weeks out can only eat one or two bites. I am 9 days post op and got over 600 calories in today. so jpwp I feel like what am I doing wrong? here is what I have had today.

9 ounces of total lean Protein shake for Breakfast

1 SF popcicle

1/2 Wendy's small chili for lunch

1/2 Wendy's small chili for dinner

1 SF 4 ounce Italian ice

8 ounce 1% milk with 1/3 cup powder milk and half scoop of body fortress Protein Powder (trying different ways to get use to it again)

so that's it besides what little Water I have been sipping in between

Wendy's chili was on my safe list, too.

Isn't 9 oz of protein shake a bit much for the full fluid stage? I was under impression that we should only be doing 1/4 cup to a 1/2 cup since the shake is considered a meal

9 ounces is spread out through the day not all at once.

yeah the chili is on the list of foods surgeon said I can eat during this stage and it is like pouch friendly for now as we are to introduce new foods as trail and error. the small chili has under 300 calories and I eat on it like all day and it has 20 something grams of Protein so with me having to get 80 in. day surgeon said I still have to drink protein shakes as I will not eat enough to get the protein in. I called the office to make sure as I was really worried about this. so when given the all clear I went and bought 2 more for the next few days lol

I eat just about a half chili over one of their baked potatoes. Its high in protein and low in fat. I think it's a great fast food option, if you have to have one! I'm 9 weeks out.

You can eat a whole potato? ESP with chili on it?

I never had Wendy chilli even before surgery. I wonder how it taste.

My surgeons suggest no corn, peas or potatoes during the weight loss phase

Why not just eat Soup. Wendy's chili really yuck. Never liked it. Hubs likes it too. I know you will have cravings but I won't go near ( I hope) the stuff that got me to where am now

My nutritionist suggested the Wendy's soup cause it's full of protein!

It's very good. It's just Beans, beef and veggies with I believe 17g of Protein in a small. That's the only food place that is around my college so I've stopped there a few times.

it is really good Mami. I plan to make my own this weekend using Turkey Burger instead of beef.

If its a small potato, I can eat a whole one with only half of the small chili on top. It takes about 30-45 mins.

sigh of relief!! and yeah it takes me an hour or more to eat that 1/2 cup so its not like I eat it fast.

I was given no more than 30 mins to eat a meal/drink a supplement--after that I'm done--otherwise we would graze all day.

Wow...I cant eat a half a potato and I am 6 months out. Aren't the carbs too high?

OK I went back to read the post op paperwork I can have the chili but anything I am only to eat 4 meals a day at one ounce each. glad I got that information now then later

I just hope I didn't do any harm eating the way I have been since Tuesday
