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! 😉

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
