What did you eat Wed/What do you plan ot eat today?

I did much better yesterday. It was my support group meeting and I made abatch of smoothies ot share and also the recipe. They loved it. we all brought our faovorite proteina dn bars in to sample. but as for my food........I had a smoothie for breakfast, couple piecs sliced turkery adn a string cheese, protien bullet, drank lots of water, snack was a 100cal pack natural almonds, small steamed vaggies, and on the way home I picked up a potato with smked turkey of which I ate about two bites of potatoe and about 1/4 cup smoked turkey. (so I have about 5 more meals inthat potato LOL just not worth it for me to order out) WLSurgeon and Nut had me ont 100-120 grams of protein starteing 2 weeks before to weeks after surgery. I did not make it yesterday but I was two weeks yesterday so i plan to taper that off now. I plan to try to do better with eating today. Donna

Our surgeons are all soooooooooooo different. When I told mine I was eating lots of chicken and doing three protein shakes, 25 g protein each, every day he "reminded" me that the max we need a day is about 65 g so I was wasting the calories from the third shake. He told me the extra calories in the extra shake could be keeping me at unnecessary stalls. I've done horrible with my eating. Still WAY better than pre-op, but stinky lately. Our fridge died Friday, 2 minutes (swear!) after we online filed our Federal taxes. The new one came Tuesday. I was only able to really use it yesterday. So, I've had no shakes and we've had to eat out every single meal. I did have a shake first thing this morning. I feel good. BUT, my dear grandfather brought me MORE cookies! He thinks I'm dangerously thin. I'm 5'8" and 152 lbs. I'm no toothpick. LOL So, as much as I love that he's doing this, it's NOT good for me. I don't dump so cookies are dangerous. I dumped once and it was on a silly TINY piece of a pound cake I made. Chocolate chip cookies.....nothing. lol So, here's what my day will probably look like: Breakfast: Orangecreamsicle/orangeade protein shake: 95 cals / 25 g protein Snack: 100 calorie pack Cheese Nibs Lunch: either grilled chicken tenders at Cracker Barrel or beef noodle soup (mainly the beef) at Cracker barrel with splenda iced tea Dinner: I'm making chicken parmesan for the family. So, about 2-3 oz chicken with cheese and a tiny bit of spaghetti. Night snack: Fudgesicle! 40 calories I'm so happy to have my new fridge! LOL * Cyndi *

Cyndi I am doing so many shakes right now cause I just can't eat to the amount of protien they wanted. My surgeon wanted my protein increased to 100-120 g protien for 2-3 weeks after surgery to help with healing. It has helped. My insicions are completely healed!! (well the exterior ones anyway) This is giving me time to set up a schedule and eating for myself while I am on leave to help me once I am back to work. Whoo hooo on the firdge but isn't that how it always works. Aytime you THINK you have some extra cash something goes wrong.
