Hello! I am about 5 1/2 weeks out from my gastric sleeve. Unfortunately, my post op period has been complicated by a wound infection, 4 days in hospital on IV antibiotics, then 2 weeks of oral antibiotics. Now I have C Diff.... but I am trying to stay positive! This too shall pass. I have started doing Pilates and am eating food (protein!). Can you please tell me what you eat (meals and snacks) and describe your exercise.... how often, how long, what type?

Thanks!!

Protein shake for Breakfast. Salmon salad or poke or sashimi for lunch. Roast dark meat chicken with Brussels sprouts for dinner, as an example. I eat whatever my family is having without carbs. Emerald cocoa almonds 100-calorie snack pack for dessert.

I take Tae Kwon Do four times a week and walk daily.

Breakfast was 2 eggs with peppercrack cheese and green enchilada sauce.

Lunch was 4 oz of shrimp with lemon juice and old bay seasoning and a slice of havarti cheese. Essentially a shrimp melt without the bread.

I had 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and 1 tbsp so sugar free strawberry jam around 4.

Dinner was an odd mix of pulled pork with homemade refried beans that had Greek yogurt as sour cream.

I also had 90 oz of Powerade Zero mixed 50/50 with water and 24 oz of propel water.

Exercise is working with 5 pound dumbbells, those spring grip thingies and rotating these ab exercises.

Breakfast is usually a Protein shake-- I make mine with fairlife skim milk, or add Protein powder to a mcdonalds sf vanilla iced coffee.. on the weekends bfast is usually scrambled eggs w/ cheese and if I'm lucky some bacon

lunch is anything from sliced deli turkey (I like butterball's thanksgiving turkey when the deli doesn't run out of it!) with some whole berry cranberry sauce (not a lot, because I know its not sugar free), or a turkey burger w/o a bun and topped with whatever I can find and pack, left overs like pulled pork, Soups, etc.

dinner is whatever my hubby is making-- we'll do taco night without the taco shells, chicken w/ guac & cheese and usual taco toppings, turkey burgers, minute steaks w/ onions and mushrooms (I don't eat a lot of beef since surgery- but minute steaks go down with out issue), lots of soups done in the crock pot this time of year- this week we did a fish chowder and a cheeseburger Soup, fish, shrimp, etc.

Snacks- P3's, cheese sticks wrapped in deli meats (like salami, ham, etc.), dannon light & fit greek yogurts, single serving pkgs of pistachios, Protein Bars, etc.

Exercise is walking every day-- if I don't get outside to walk, I will do Leslie Sansone walking dvd's.., my fit board, and that's about it now that it's too cold here for the pool.

I'm only 8 weeks out

Breakfast - p3 pack

lunch - soup or fish wherever our team eats that day (often mexican tortilla, no tortilla strips)

Afternoon - leftovers from lunch or Protein bar

dinner - something tossed on the grill or done in the crock pot - fish, chicken, beef, and pork all work for me. Very rarely I have room for veggies or small salad which I eat after dinner with ov dressing.

We just joined the y and I have 5 sessions with a personal trainer but haven't started them yet. I walk my dogs every evening before dinner for 20 minutes or so.

Breakfast - egg in some form

Snack - deli slice of cheese

lunch - high Protein leftover from night before (usually pot roast, steak, fish)

Afternoon snack (rare) half of a string cheese

dinner - high protein meat

Exercie - walking and cleaning. I need to do more and have a plan to starting weight lifting and riding my bike soon.
