Please give me your meal plan



Recommended Posts

I am 7 weeks in. I still have no idea what to eat. I’ll tell you what I ate yesterday.

Morning: 1 cup fairlife milk (120 cals)

Lunch: 2 cheese ball Snacks (140 cals)

Snack: Plum

Snack: 1/2 cup turkey chili

Dinner: 4 thin slices of steak

Snack: 1/2 cup Wendy’s chili

See? I just suck at eating. Also, I don’t know what to eat if I’m out. I want something easy.

You need to speak with your surgeon on a meal plan. Seems to me you are not eating enough Protein with what you listed. Should be getting approximately 60 grams of protein per day.

While everyone is different, you should go by what your team has given you for what to eat and how much.

Here is my typical day.

Breakfast: Premier Protein shake

Lunch: Pan Seared Shrimp w/ cajun seasoning 3 oz

Snack: Harvest Snaps (I need to quit these because I end up eating too many)

Dinner: Varies - usually something my my recipe list for example Greek Turkey Burger, Salmon, Steak, panned seared tilapia, chicken (cooked in a variety of ways NOT fried) - most meat is 3-4 oz. I will often have a tiny little spinach salad topped with 1 sliced strawberry, 1 T of blue cheese, and 1 t goddess dressing or a small serving of sauteed onions w/ squash or zucchini.

Sometimes, I will have some of my dinner and then save some of a snack. Most days I'm getting anywhere from 70-90 g of Protein. There have been a few days where I was 60-70 and a few days where I was over 90.

I would be happy to share my recipe document with you if you would like just drop me a message.

If I'm out, it depends on where I go, but if it's fast food, whatever I order would most likely be served protein style (no bun). I've gone out for sushi and order with light or no rice, gyros and just had the meat, and fajitas.

My 7 weeks starts Monday, but I eat 4-6 small meals per day avg 100 cal per serving. I only have shakes now if I know I won't meet my Protein goals or want to add some to my coffee (1/3 bottle with Decaf coffee). 40cal, 10 gr protein
My Breakfast is often light and fit dannon yogurt 80cal, 13 g protein with 2 Tbsp of ground flax 70 cal
Lunch tuna creations 70 cal, 15 gr protein. 2 oz cottage cheese 40 cal, 8 gr protein
2nd lunch 2 oz deli turkey 12g protein cheese stick , 5 gr protein
Dinner 2 oz chicken, 14 gr protein, cottage cheese 2oz 8 gr protein
If I'm still short I add Peanut Butter or other high protein snack.

I mix up my meals, but work day lunches tend to go tuna just because I don't have to measure.

My daily cals are 600 - 700 pending day of week.

My eating plan is:

  • real food, not processed
  • eat when I'm hungry, stop when I'm not
  • lay off the booze.

I can only remember three rules at a time...seems to be working quite well! 😊

Hahaha... I like the lay off the booze part. Isn't it legal to buy beer at 15 or 16 in the UK as long as you're having a meal? That's awesome!

No - you've got to be 18 to buy booze. But children can go in a pub as long as they're with adults who order food. Then they can have a sneaky sip of dad's beer when he's not looking! 😉

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
