I am 1 month out and feel like eating too much

today I had oatfit oatmeal 1 pouch

mid morning: premier Protein shake

lunch: had egg salad, on small wheat flat bread. couldn't eat all bread ate half and then finished egg salad.i spread the egg salad real thin

dinner : had grilled chicken on a small tortilla with cheese on it. ate 3/4 of it.

any suggestions?

Between the oatmeal, the flatbread, and the tortilla I think it sounds like you're having a lot of carbs for one month out.

That's a lot of food

I can only hold down

1 pudding

1cheese

6 oz of broth

At *1 month* out? Where's your protein? I'm a little over 3 weeks out, I can eat 2oz portions at a time. Today I had 2oz of salmon and two 8oz Premier Protein shakes (because I was on the run all day, otherwise I would have tried to get more real food in). Yesterday I had 2oz cottage cheese for lunch and 2oz tuna for dinner with a shake for breakfast and a smoothie for an evening snack.

I consulted my doctor about it and he told me to double up on my vitamins I just can't seem to hold much down in my puddings and on my cheese I sprinkle in isopure and in my puddings I mix in my chocolate celebrate powdered shake so I get about 20-50 daily I just can't seem to eat a lot since surgery 7/23/15 I'm down 50 lbs

Are you eating protein first? Are you reaching your protein goal every day? What does your NUT advise?

I was actually responding to the OP.

But, for you, keep working at it. It is so critical that you get in enough protein.

Today I am 5 weeks out.

Breakfast: Protein Shake after workout

Lunch: Low Carb Crab Cake ( I made a recipe) they are 3oz each before being cooked

Snack: Crab cake or 2oz of Turkey

Dinner: Swai Fillet 3oz

After Dinner/Evening Walk: Protein Shake

I can barely get that amount of protein in at a time. I do not eat all of it all the time.

I really think you need to drop that bread and carbs one month out, you are not getting enough protein in, and with those carbs you are going to have a hard time losing weight.

Thanks for advice guys. Will cut out carbs/bread

Yes I eat protein first. I also need to work on 64 oz liquids

Im down 40 lbs so far. Want this to keep Steady so that's why asked what others are eating to see if I'm getting off track:)

At one month out I could eat 5 oz of steak or chicken or pork with a small salad or some other veggies. I think the carbs in your deal are really high.

I don't snack - I have Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I try to have 25-30 grams of Protein for each meal minimum. Depends on what I eat.

This is me at 7 weeks.

I am 4 months out and am eating about 2.5 oz of food at a time at the most. At one month, I was doing about 1.5 oz. I do 3 meals per day, 1 Protein shake per day and 1 - 2 small protein Snacks per day. I cut out almost all carbs though. I find that they fill you up very fast and don't give you any of the protein that you need. Focus on lean meats, cheese, nuts, and Protein Bars.

I am 2 weeks out today and seriously wondered if the doctor had even removed anything during surgery! I had absolutely no pain, no gas and it seems that I can eat/drink quite a bit. Haven't had a problem with water either. Maybe that will slow down when I'm move to the soft foods next week?

Uh, yes! Liquid goes through. When you eat something with just a little weight to it, you will be shocked!

This is so very true. The first week or so I felt the same way. I could drink quite a bit- I thought something was wrong. Now at 4 weeks out I can only eat about 1.5- 2 oz at a time. My favorite is cottage cheese with a bit of avocado. I feel full after a few tiny bites!
