3 mos. out daily menu

I am not 3 mos. out, but there were a few at my support meeting last night that are interested in knowing what a typical portion size and diet is for the 3 mo. post op patient. So would someone take the helm and start a daily post of what they ate and the portion sizes, also protein counts and calories would be helpful to others in your time frame. It is always a good thing to pay it forward!

Nanette, Here is what I have had so far today: 1 slice of multigrain diet bread 50 calories 3 grams protein 1/4 cup homemade pimento & cheese ? calories 13 grams protein 1 stickster cheese stick 110 calories 7 grams of protein 17 apple cinnamon genisoy crisps 120 calories 7 grams of protein Grilled Chicken ceasar lunch wrap kit (South Beach) 230 calories 24 grams of protein That totals to 590 calories 25 fat grams 54 carb grams and 54 protein grams. I will have a yogurt and another cheese stick for dinner. After that the totals will be: calories: 780 fat grams: 34 carb grams: 66 protein grams: 68 And I will have drank my 64 oz of water. I hope that helps someone. Sandy

I have recently started journaling again and I find that I eat about three 1/2 cup portion meals, and usually 2 snacks. I consume around 900 calories a day, 50 or less carbs, and 80-100 g protein. My diet consists of a lot of meat (including jerky), plus Carb Master yogurt and protein bars. Almost all of my carbs come from fruit, of which I usually have 1-2 pieces a day. Oh, and I normally drink between 48 and 72 oz of water. Belle

Here is yesterdays Breakfast 4 oz. lowfat, no sugar raspberry yogurt 60 cals 8 oz milk with Unjury protein powder added Lunch 2 oz. low fat cheadder cheese and 2 Ritz crackers Dinner 1 egg omlette with cheese, green pepper onion, soy bacon bits and a home made bisquit with 1 tsp of I can't Believe its not butter. snack 8 oz skim milk My surgeon requires that I drink at least 16 oz of skim milk every day. This is part of the 64 oz pf fluids. I saw him Tuesday for my 3 month + one week check-up and I was told I can eat any thing that my pouch will tolerate except liquids with sugar in them and food with more than 2 or 3 grams of sugar per serving. Also to keep the total fat for the day under 25 g. Each surgeon has his/her own preference for feeding. Following what your surgen tells you. Rich

for breakfast I had half of a homemade "pizza" which I made on a low carb tortilla, with about 2 TBS ragu, some pepperonis and shredded cheese. L 1'2 cup leftover rotiseree chicken I shredded and added a little bbq sauce to. I put it on a lettuce wrap D 3/4 of a southbeach diet frozen dinner. snacks was a protein ball, a string cheese, and a few frozen grapes. ( not at the same time) I feel like I can eat alot more than most people can at 3 months, but I do measure everything and dont go over a cup, depending on what Im eating. And Ive lost 75 lbs so I guess Im doing ok. MAry
