What's everyone eating?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

Can you please share with me what a typical day of your meals are? I'm just curious what everyone is eating once they moved into regular foods.

Thanks!!

I will tell you what I have planned. It defiantly doesn't mean that it will stay down. I am 9 weeks out and struggle to get my Protein and Water in. Nothing tastes good and my pouch is super picky.

breakfast: premier Protein shake

lunch: 2 pieces of turkey rolled up with shredded cheese in the middle. cook on the stove to melt the cheese

dinner: 1 ounce of buffalo ranch chicken with 5 Keebler low fat crackers

snack: Yoplait whipped greek yogurt and a bottle of Protein h2O Water.< /p>

This should get me close to my 60 grams of protein.

I am 5 months post op, I eat half of a Jimmy Deans Delight honey wheat English muffin with bacon, egg and cheese for Breakfast 105 calories. 9 or 10 grs of Protein. Or packet of grits, Quaker oats. I usually eat s 250 calorie or less lean cuisine for lunch some of these have as many as 20 grams of protein. And my dinner is whatever I would normally feed my family, just small portions.

I am 3 months post-op and I switch off between turkey, fish, and crab for my Proteins. chicken doesn't agree with me anymore. Here is a common day:

0630-0700: super multigrain Quakers banana walnut oatmeal w/ 30g scoop of Protein

1100-1100: 1/2 cup of Caesar salad (no croutons) or left overs (eggplant parmesan or enchilada soup)

1500-1600: Quest or Think Thin Protein Bar or mashed potatoes

1900-1930: one of the meats listed above and some veggies

If I'm up late, I might have a sugar free desert a few hours later.

I have lost 53lbs since surgery and my surgeon seems to be happy with my progress.

Today I had coffee with a scoop of Protein powder for breakfast

lunch was a Hilary's black bean & adzuki burger with a bit of shredded cheese topped with a sunny side up egg & salsa

dinner was 1 cup of homemade cabbage & white bean Soup. I added half a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder to the broth.

I'm 6mths in & a vegetarian. According to myfitnesspal my calories for today are 741, carbs 41 & Protein 92. Sunday is my lazy day so I eat light.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
