** 04/08 What Did you eat today? ***

Liquids: 12oz Crystal Lite Breakfast: 2oz Hummus, 4 soy crisps & wedge of lauging cow cheese. Liquids: 12oz Crystal Lite Lunch: 2oz FF Cottage cheese, 1 TBS of pasta sauce, and a sprinkling of mozz cheese (melted in microwave) Liquids: 18oz Crystal Lite Dinner: 3oz crab salad (Homemade, real crab, mayo, peas, finely diced onion & pepper & seasonings) & 4 soy crisps. Liquids: 8oz 1% Milk Liquids: 12oz Crystal Lite Haven't worked out my calories, protein etc yet.

Okay this is the first time I have done this. I just started a food journal today b/c I am having a hard time with liquids. B-1 hard boiled egg (6 gm) 1 slice turkey bacon (2 gm) L- 3 oz FF cottage cheese (9 gm) S- soy crisps (8 gm)...ok ate too many right? 20 melts down to nothing D-probably 2 oz refried beans, low fat cheese,and 1 tbsp. FF sour cream (11 gm) In between been working on protein shake...(20 gm) Proteins...56 grams exercise...half a mile on treadmill burned 57 cal. water...20oz (had 3 sugar free pops, do they count, also the 3 oz of milk in shake, does it count?) I am new to this. Does it look like I am doing right? Please let me know

Those soy crisps are good huh??? Im addicted... showing bad habits like before surgery hahaha. I try to limit them, but eat 4-5 with most meals... I spread the 17 serving throughout the day. They do melt to nothing, but man do they satisfy my need for crunch!!! Yup popsicles count as liquids, and so does any milk in the shake. Looks like you need to get those liquids increased.... What are you drinking? I can do about 64oz now no problems, at first it was sooo hard. Water hurts and is hard to drink, so I always have something in my water like a small amount of crystal lite.

Breakfast--1 egg with 1 slice of 2% cheese Party after water areobics (April Birthdays's) 2 sm bites of smoked turkey salad Lunch-- 1/2 Pintos and Cheese from Taco Bell Snack--1 oz deli thin sliced turkey Dinner--1.5 oz tuna salad so far 60 oz water All my supplements Haven't entered it all in and if necessary will do a protein shake this evening. My pouch has "kicked in" and I can eat so little. This is so cool--so far no neausea or barfing. Be strong and positive--bj

Breakfast- 1 scrambled egg Lunch- 2 oz. tuna Dinner- 1.5 oz. tuna again... Protein shakes sipped in between meals Water when I can... All vitamin supplements done I'm only 10 days post-op, I'm really struggling to get protein in me. I've probably only gotten 30-35 g Protein today, so far...

Liquid: V-8 6oz w/morning vitamin and Iron Liquid: 18 oz. of Crystal Lite/Water during walk Breakfast: 1 hardboiled egg made into egg salad (mayo, mustard, dash of pickle juice) Liquid 20 oz. IsoPure Lunch: 2 oz baked salmon, yummy but I think I ate a bite or two too much, felt pretty full and did a lot of burping, finally settled down after I got up and walked around a little. Planned on some asparagus heads, but just could not make myself do it. Liquid 18 oz Crystal Lite/Water (I call mine Crystal Lite/Water because I barely use any Crystal Lite, it just makes the water a little more palatable for me) Dinner: 3 very small bites of Tuna Salad, just couldn't handle any more so didn't want to pu**** At this point I realized I had not taken one calcium today, darn it, I was doing so good. I guess I had better concentrate on "eating" AND taking my vitamins. Liquid: 12 more oz of plain water before bed, slowly. All in all not too bad although the salmon didn't sit as well on my pouch as I had hoped, I did chew, chew chew it, but I may have eaten a bite or two more than I should have. Well, if I was feeling so good that I wasn't sure I had the surgery, I am certainly NOT feeling that way now. I am glad that my pouch is "talking to me". Ingrid

I can totally relate to a bite or two too much.... I did that with my crab salad today, OMG it hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn't sick at all, but 5 hours later Im still full. That stuff really filled me up... and boy did I get tired after, I slept like 2 hours--- all the oxygen was going to help digest it I guess LOL. Kind of like Thanksgiving day naps hehe.

Breakfast: 1 egg, 1 tablespoon SF applesauce - 7 gr protein Lunch: 1/2 of small Wendy's chili - 8 gr protein Dinner - 1/2 cup Taco Bell beans & cheese - 10 gr protein 8 oz. protein shake - 1/2 in morning, 1/2 afternoon - 30 gr protein 4 -16 oz. bottles water - 64 oz. water This was the first day since eating pureed foods I did not get the 70-80 grams protein - only got 55 grams of protein...didn't plan on Taco Bell for dinner, but hubby had to work late, we had to get to Sam's before they closed, so was the quickest thing for a hungry me for dinner. Will definitely get in my protein today! Great idea Darlene to post this! Barbara
