What ya eating tonight?



Recommended Posts

Tonight I am struggling to get my Protein Shake in. Today I have had a few bites of pudding and some cream of chicken Soup with herbs. I really want to eat string cheese but it has only been 4 days since surgery so I know it is not a good idea. Man, I would love to just have some cheese... Lol!

I really need to get my Protein in, but it is harder than I thought it would be. Before surgery I was starving and couldn't eat. Now there are things I can eat, and I am not hungry. Hmmm, interesting....

I licked a ton of Laughing Cow Swiss cheese wedges off a spoon....

I've been having so much trouble getting all my Protein lately. I use cheeses for Snacks, a Protein Shake a day, and try to pick foods that have protein. But I eat so little that it never seems to add up :(

How is it I'm eating nothing but broths' date=' cottage cheese, puréed black Beans and lentils and Protein Shakes and some how week 3 I've managed to lose literally nothing! It's so discouraging. Ive also been on the treadmill 5-6 times a week. I always hear of people losing amazing amounts in the beginning. I'm scared that I'm only 3 weeks in and I've already quit losing, is this not working for me? Also I don't really feel full when I eat. I can eat about a half cup or a little more and feel fine. Shouldn't I be stuffed at only 3 weeks?[/quote']

I don't think I really started losing until after my 1st month. I lost some but was a slow loser :-( It sped up, I believe, once real food was added in. Your body is probably resisting the change (being stubborn) as mine was. You might want to also up your protein!!! I found with me, my Dr recommended minimum 60g a day. I need 80-100. That's what helped me the most.

Four months out, I lose about 2-3 lbs a week and have been very happy because of how it adds up in total weight loss.

Thanks! Before surgery I used to cook all the time. Since then it seems as if I've become an idiot in the kitchen now! LoL!

I hear you :-( It's sad. I feel out of my realm in the kitchen now. Don't like it either. So many great ideas on here.

I am 11 days out and I can eat 1/2 a cup over 30 minutes. I asked my doc and he said 4 oz was appropriate.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
