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! 😉

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
