Share ideas, What did you eat today ?



Recommended Posts

Today was not as good as yesterday. I am going to post anyway. I stayed hungry most of the day yesterday and today, I gave in. I have 3 & 1/2 more weeks on this steroid! Lord help me...

Today:

B- Atkins shake, then some Special K crackers about an hour later

L- Zaxbys- Teriyaki chicken strip meal (snacked on it on and off all day)

D- Chinese take out- a mini eggroll, a few wontons, and some stir-fry rice

S- Slice of lemon ice box pie :thumbup:

Sunday is also our "eat out" day. I hope I can do better the rest of the week.

Weekends are not good for me.....I dont eat right....I dont eat to much or anything....but I dont eat well. Need to correct that problem!

B - Lipton Green Tea

L - 1/3 of a reese's blizzard

D - 1/4 serving of king ranch chicken cass

S1 - ww ice cream bar

S2 - ANOTHER ww ice cream bar

hmmmmm.....on second thought perhaps I do eat to much on the weekend!!

If you notice I am eating a lot of ice cream lately because it goes down so darn good!! Probably should switch that out for Protein Shake though.

Should have had this or something else solid for lunch and I would have eaten less today. Live and learn.

I think that was part of my problem too yesterday. Tomorrow I am going to try to eat more solid, filling foods during the day and hope I am not starving by night.

luluc-can the lentil Soup be pureed similar to split pea soup without being disgusting?

can't imagine why not - won't look pretty. lentils can look grey/brown when cooked down.....

one of my favorites is a can or 2 of black Beans, can of fire roasted tomatoes, about a 1/2 c-1 c. salsa and chicken stock pureed to desired consistency (adding stock little at a time)

lots of garlic, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, salt and some lime juice to taste.

I top w/ shredded cheddar - some friends that like to make it also add a can of nacho cheese Soup and top theirs w/ sour cream and cheese

Have also made a version - that wasn't mexican flavored - actually cooked beans from dried with smoked ham or chicken and then served with a dollop of sour cream and a splash of madeira

      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!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
