Didn't your surgeon and/or NUT give you guidelines?

Are you tracking your intake? If you aren't, either go back to it or start. Really. That's the only way to know.

I weigh my food and track it with an app. If you weigh and track your food you know exactly where you went wrong.

I am 8 months out. What I eat varies by my mood. I have one Protein shake a day. A steak or 2, 4 to 5 ounces. 6 ounces of fish. I eat 4 times a day and try to have 100 to 120 grams of Protein a day. I try to keep my calories above 700 and below 1100. I still have some high and low days, it just depends on my mood. I keep my net carbs below 50, my goal is below 30 but that can be hard some days.

My surgeon says 900-1100 calories from 3 months post op until forever. Every surgeon has different guidelines I suppose. Somedays I manage to eat a little more than that, but it is with purpose as I am very active. I log everything.

I am 5 months post-op and this is my abbreviated meal plan:

Log my food & any exercise daily

900-1,100 calories per day

60-80g of Protein

At least 64 oz. of Water

No bread, rice or Pasta

No dried fruit or hard, raw veggies

Eat Protein first and have protein at every meal/snack

Avoid high fat foods (5g or less per serving)

Avoid high sugar foods (14g or less per serving/25g or less per day)

Avoid high sodium foods

Take my Multivitamins

Exercise 5 hours per week

Typical Breakfast is a smoothie (Protein shake, 1/2 banana, PB fit) or Fiber Cereal w/milk, lunch is 1/2 c. refried Beans with cheese & ff sour cream or a salad with grilled chicken and low-fat dressing, dinner is chicken breast or shrimp or lean beef with steamed veggies or a baked sweet potato. Snacks are string cheese or triple zero yogurt or cottage cheese or almonds. Sometimes I will make chicken salad out of canned chicken and snack on that over a few days with a couple wheat thins crackers. I've been craving cuties lately, so I've incorporated one a day this week.

I usually log my food and try to drink more Water. I was going threw my food log in my fitness pal and I usually stay under 1100 calories but they are some days I go over and hit 1500 calories and I also notice is around the time I have will get my period or have it. I tend to crave sweets like Cookies and stuff i should not have.

I had one egg ( over easy) two pieces of bacon and a mini tortilla for break fast.

snack I had a Believe Mocha Latte

lunch I will have chicken breast 4oz, 1/4 of a cucumber, one boiled egg and a table spoon of dressing so far this is 551 calories. I should stop eating mini tortilla for Breakfast . I still don't know what i will be having for dinner.

      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!!
