Share ideas, What did you eat today ?



Recommended Posts

I'm not going to completely admit to what I ate yesterday, as my period arrived today. Suffice to say it consisted mainly of sugar, combined with a little fat. And for variety last night, I added alcohol to the mix :shades_smile:

Once a month doesnt hurt, right?

Anyway, back on track today.

Breakfast: Barbecued pineapple and peaches (they were going soft, had to use them up) brushed with maple Syrup, served with Greek yogurt. Yummmmmmmmmmm. Worth the effort to fire up the barbie on a school morning.

Snack: a banana smoothie made with skim milk and vanilla and a banana . Followed a 10km run.

Lunch: A sushi/sashimi pack - I mostly ate the fish and left the rice. Small bottle of orange juice

No afternoon snack, that was quite a bit of food this morning and I'm really not hungry.

dinner tonight is going to be roast lamb, roast potatoes and pumpkin, steamed broccoli and carrots.

Just a general question here - are Triscuits bad for you? I bought some of that Summer Sausage (the Beef kind) that comes out over the holidays. Typically you slice it with some cheese and put it on Triscuits (or some other type of cracker). I've really gotten into eating the meat on a Triscuit dipped in hummus :w00t: and I'm wondering if Triscuits are OK to eat often? At this point, with only one fill, I can typically eat about 8 slices of Beef (which seems like a lot!) with about 8 Triscuits at one sitting. Thanks for the input everyone! :ohmy:

Great! I think I'll take a look at every box they offer and pick the lowest calorie box. And it's not like I'm eating them every day. Just a snack, every other day at most, and the Summer Sausage won't be available in stores for too much longer I don't think. Thanks LULUC!

I have eaten so bad the last two days that I was too embarrassed to post. Lets just say there was a lot of cookie batter, Cookies and Peanut Butter fudge bars. I realize that I cannot have things like that in the house because I will eat them...and they go right through the band. I packed everything that I made and gave it away...it took me two days to do it...which means two days of crappy eating.

Today I woke up and made a commitment to eat properly.

B - Pure Protein shake

S - coffee w/splash of milk

L - 1/2 cup of pintos, grilled zucchini and salsa

S - 60 calorie pudding and 1 tsp of Peanut Butter

D - Pintos, grilled zucchini and corn, shredded beef ate about 1/2 cup total

S - 60 calorie pudding, 1 tsp peanut butter

L: 2/3 c. mashed potatoes mixed w/ greek yogurt and shredded cheese

S: several oreos - I think 3-4

D: smoked salmon spread w/ crackers (not sure how much - nibbled away for hours - brought into work for everyone)

D#2: 1/2 c. terriyaki chicken w/ 1/4 c. brown rice

S: christmas candy odds and ends out on work counter

Not a great day today - no fruit, very few veg. Calorie wise, OK.

Oh wait, wine is made from grapes, right?

Breakfast: bowl of allbran with skim milk

mid morning - a Boost bar (well, it had been sitting there for a whole HOUR, someone had to eat it).

Lunch: Lean Cuisine tuna bake

Dinner: glass sav blanc and about half a cup of spaghetti bolognaise (home made sauce, lots of garlic and tomatoes).

I generally try to eat more fresh food than this. Oh, and not eat Boost bars! But my day would come in at about 200 for Breakfast, 400 for the boost, 300 for lunch, maybe 300 for dinner and 200 for the glass of wine. Not too bad, considering I did an hour long hard circuit training session.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
