5 Weeks Since VSG

[deebeebee 5]

Today marks five weeks since surgery. I am down 25lbs since surgery day, so 5lbs/week thus far. I did hit a stall for a little over a week around week 3-4 but weight loss has resumed. This has been an amazing time, fingers crossed for continuing positive progress!

What are you eating 5 weeks out? I travel for work sometimes and once I am cleared to lift my suitcase at 4 weeks I might be on the road again at any time, so I'm wondering what I will be eating at that point.

Hi Lizonaplane,

This is kind of typical for me;

Breakfast: coffee, Okio yogurt

Lunch: 2oz Pre-cooked chicken or fish, 1-2 oz Avocado, 16oz Protein2O drink

Dinner: 2oz Pre-cooked Chicken or Fish, sliced Tomato.

Snacks: sugar free popsicles, soft fruits e.g berries, tangerines. I avoid tropical fruits.

I mix 16oz of Protein2O with 16oz Crystal Light. Which improves the taste and give me 32oz of Fluid.

I buy pre-marinated chicken from a carniceria (pollo para asar) and fish (Tuna, swordfish, salmon) from a local distributor. I grill or steam them and then freeze them in 2oz portions.

This is working for me as I am not really that picky of an eater, especially since surgery.
