How do you get to 60g protein and stay under 800



Recommended Posts

This isn’t a bad question at all- especially because the docs don’t want us dependent on Protein Shakes. Ideally you should be eating food to get your Protein and keeping Cals in a weight loss range. It’s a great question because understanding how to do this is exactly what the docs want us to be doing. Learn how to eat properly and lose weight. Then eat properly and maintain it. Drinking shakes is fine for the start but not a way to maintain a lifetime of healthy eating habits. When you can only eat 2-3 oz at a time it’s tough. Here is what I’m just now beginning to do as I move out of soft phase and in to all textures.
Egg with cheese 150 cal for Breakfast 10 grams
Geek yogurt snack 110 cal 14 grams
Grilled chicken 3 oz 15 grams with veg for lunch 150 cal
Babybel cheese for snack 70
Fish dinner 3-4 oz with edamame or chick pea Pasta 300 cal 25 grams

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
