9 weeks post-op

Cup of hot tea with meds

exercise before breakfast

Breakfast: egg and either a piece of bacon or 1 oz of leftover meat from dinner (steak is my favorite)

Afternoon snack: 1 slice of deli turkey rolled with slice of avocado and tomato

Dinner: 1 oz some kind of meat, with some kind of veggie

Exercise: If I am having a good energy day, I will add a second exercise session. When this nasty weather breaks, it can be an after dinner walk with my sweetie.

Bedtime: hot chocolate made with sugar free cocoa mix and whey Protein chocolate powder and lite Cool Whip

When I quit eating so much cheese, my plateau broke and constipation quit.

Today's menu:

L: egg w/ laughing Cow& cheese 14g

S: 1/2 apple w/ PB 7g

D: meatloaf and veggies. 21g

May add an extra snack before dinner if needed, probably Greek yogurt w/ protein powder 14g

  • Breakfast: protein shake

Morning snack: 1/2 oz of almonds or soynuts or dry roasted pumpkin seeds, roasted chickpeas, or similar

Lunch: 3 oz deli meat, usually rolled up with mustard, sometimes with cheese, occasionally with a whole grain cracker but usually not, with a few bites of salad or other veg

What kind of protein bars are good?

Quest bars are my favorite. I like most flavors, but my favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough.

I am 9 weeks out

B- six of seven days is a homemade Protein shake (25-35g Protein)

the other day is Sunday, usually a 2 egg omelet with Turkey Bacon or sausage

S- almonds or sometimes a greek yogurt, Whole Foods Peanut Butter with apple slices

L-deli ham and cheese rollup with mustard, or canned chicken, ham or tuna with light mayo in lettuce cups

S- Jack Links Teriyaki Beef or Quest Bar (White chocolate Raspberry, Double Chocolate, Coconut cashew)

D- 3-4 ounces protein (fish, scallops, chicken, hamburger)

Usually get 80-90 grams of protein a day.

I am a week out and I am feeling, as if I am going to die! I had a BPD DS. I have to take sips of water, which is proving to be difficult!

Are some of you able to eat normally yet? Without having this urge to vomit etc?

I got so sad! This is my first week, and it's already up to such a bad start!

I'm 7 days out and I am having a hard time sipping water also. Broth is a bit better and I can do an oz or two if yogurt before it gets painful. All I can muster in a day smh


11 months out staying at 1,000 calories a day. Some days (heavy workout) I'll push another 200 calories via a protein bar.

B - Protein shake with 1 scoop powder, 1.25c coconut milk and 3/4 c fruit. (Today was mango.) Sometimes I switch up Fairlife Skim for the coconut milk. Today was 25 g protein - add 13 g if I have Fairlife

Morning snack - today was seedles grapes about a cup

Lunch - 3.5 ounces left over rib eye steak from last night 26 g protein

Afternoon snack - Oikos Triple Zero yogurt (15 grams)

Dinner - 3-5 ounces of whatever protein I cook for the family most nights ballpark 20 G. -- So that's about 86 grams of protein a day. Plus salad or green veggie. Last night was steak, zucchini fritters and mushrooms.

Tonight's dinner (like most Mondays and Wednesdays) will be a protein bar as I have fencing for 2 hours from 7-9 and I don't like to eat before I fence, but by the time I come home, I need to eat something but a meal is not appealing. (Fencing for 2 hours for me is about 1200 calories burned so I burn everything I eat today and wind up with net 0 calories consumed.)

I am 5 weeks out for VGS and I can pretty much drink water normally (no chugging). I had a eureka moment when I discovered that drinking it out of a glass was much much easier for me than my water bottle or the bottled-water bottle (strange sentence, but I hope clear enough).
