Confused with diet plan

[MorganBlack66 2]

I just had my first appointment Oct. 31st at Tennova and they gave me a small packet for a 1200 calorie diet (pic included). I'm trying to figure out a meal plan but maybe I'm just confusing myself?? I had a stroke a year ago and my mind just doesn't seem to work the same. If someone could look over my list and help out I'd really appreciate it!

You seem to have cracked it. It looks like you will be eating fruit for your Snacks. Good luck on beginning your weight loss journey

You will be fine. It is a little overwhelming at first but suddenly it just clicks and next thing you know you are in a groove and killing it!

I saw this after a search for "confused about meal planning". I started off strong and enjoyed the self-care and empowerment of meal planning, but... my husband does most of the grocery shopping and cooking for the family (don't ask he just prefers it. i pick my battles. ) And I was doing making grocery lists informed by my meal planning and trying to make the meals work for the family and my FINICKY six-year-old. It was really ambitious and confusing. So then I just ate whatever my husband cooked. Then the plateau struck after losing 30lbs in a 1.5 months. I just hit 3 months and have been nibbling red meats including pork for half that time- and i don't really like the taste of meat since the surgery. (It's hard to evolve when your support system isn't)

Back to empowerment--I've recently started eating "Real Good" frozen meals. They break down to about 3 portions a meal for me. Nutrition = as high as Protein 40g with Carbs 4g (6 net). They're really heavy though and I've actually just had a hard time eating since surgery. I'm also, turning to popsicles and Protein Bars.

I started off the same way! And my medical problems got in the way and I've gained 10 pounds back 😭

However I'm still waiting for surgery. But I don't have much of a taste for meat either! I'm gonna have to try those dinners though. You're welcome to message if you'd like to chat!
