I had a vanilla pure Protein Shake this morning for Breakfast.

for lunch I had a 2 ounce grilled chicken tender (leftover) that I sliced up with 1 ounce of shredded mozzarella cheese on half a Josephs pita pocket (just discovered these! 30 cal for half a pita and 3.5 g protein!)

I had small gala apple and some rice crackers for Snacks - should not have had the rice crackers - I took a short nap and woke up hungry and they were handy... they were 72 cal, 1 g Protein and 14 g carbs - really shouldn't have eaten them.

Not at all sure what I'll have for dinner. Right now I feel gross from the crackers - may just have a yogurt or some deli turkey and cheese.

That sounds really good! I just got home today have been on holiday, so at the hotel . i had the yellow bit of one egg lol. skipped lunch because i was busy and had like a 2 ounce beef pattie for dinner, i barely even rememeber what i eat usually , i ate better yesturday . i had duck and spinnach for my lunch yesturday at the hotel lol. I hope you feel better!

Tonight I had 4 oz of steak and about 6 asparagus tips! It blows my mind that I am so full! My biggest battle is slow eating! That has been my battle for years but now it is essential for me to slow down! I had a little lasagna for lunch! Seems crazy at 4 weeks post op! I will be seeing the surgeon soon. Then I will know if I am doing ok or not!

That sounds super healthy!! I was eating fast to start but the chest pain taught me a lesson lol. Its so good you can eat that amount comfertably , sometimes i am eating and just start to enjoy the flavor and then its already time to stop lol. I love love steak but two bites I am full , its soooo yummy!

It is so interesting how different we all are! I am still losing weight but think I should be losing faster. I did start my strength training with exercise bands today. I really need to increase my waking, too!

I WISH!! HAHA no my definition of a holiday is a hotel 2 hours away It did have a lovely beach and only rained on the last day so I cant complain haha! My kids loved the rides! I loved the 3 pieces of zuckini fries I had been dreaming about since the last time I went there, I hated wasting them, we ordered to the room, and I even saved the left over zuchinis till the next day and realised, I better throw them away lol. That was hard! I used to finnish two bowls when I come here lol.

I am 8 days post op and I love hearing about the variety of food you are eating and getting full! Just being on the liquid diet does not fill me up at all. I am not hungry, but certainly not full!

Its one of those things we all think we should be losing faster I think! I need to drink more water as I think this is slowing my loss! I barely drank while I was away!

You will get through it. I thought I would never eat real food again. It will pass!

5 minutes ago, I can do this too! said:

Its honestly mind blowing , the difference from liquids then purees then normal food, Some things make you fuller faster like meat and some things give you extra wiggle room lol Like at the restaurant I wanted abit more time to not get full so I had half a tomatoe before taking a bite of my meat lol ( You are supposed to do protien first but yeah i enjoyed myself)
