what does a "normal" day of eating look like for you ???

Wondering if any one would care to share what you are eating/drinking on a normal day ?  What you eat, how much, what you drink and how much..... what have you all found works best for you to get in your protein and fluids.... some days I find it hard to eat and get in all my protein, so I was wondering how you all are doing it... thanks and have a great day !!!

The only thing I have to count is water.  So I don't have specific stats for you.

I do 80oz of water, sometimes mixed with a sf drink mix.

Protein shake in the am with 8oz of soy milk, protein powder, 1/4 of a banana.

noon 2 cheese sticks

snack nuts, soy nuts, or beef jerkey

evening what ever I cook for the family, minus the starch. (protein and veggie)

Hi Jaymaree-

A typical day of mine includes about 70 oz water and between 650-800 calories. I am typically around 50% protein and 25% fats and 25% carbs. I use FitDay to log throughout day and adjust my plan if I see that I am too high in fats or carbs. My surgeon is very strict and only allows 2 oz meals at a time and only says to count the protein from Protein drinks (expects 90g a day). So here is a sample day from yesterday:

B:  Vanilla, Cinnamon, CHocolate Protein shake (warm)- 34g

L: Small spicy chili (homemS: Protein SHake- same as above- 34g

D: Baked Parmesean Tilapia- 2 oz and 2 spears asparagus

Evening S: Protein Shake-34g or 1 oz nuts, or cheese, beef jerkey.

I have always been a water drinker, but struggle post WLS. For some reason Crystal Light has saved me and allowed me to get the required fluids. Hope this is helpful. I am allowed 3-5 small meals a day+Protein shakes, but rarely even get in 3.

Here's a "normal" day for me:

2 cups skim milk heated with 1 packet Carnation Instant Breakfast (no sugar added)
1 serving turkey pepperoni slices
3 oz "thin and trim" turkey deli meat
Oh Yeah! protein wafer
3 oz chicken breast w/1/2 baked potato
popcorn snack...or almonds..or lowfat cheese.

After the Oh Yeah! bar, I've hit 60g protein, so everything after that is "bonus" protein.
I also try to drink 60+ oz of water per day.  I add benefiber to my water to keep the fiber up.  When i track myself on thedailyplate now on Livestrong.com it's 700-850 calories.

For me I usually eat 5 meals a day. Two meals are Carnation Instant Breakfast/sugar free with added protein. The other 3 meals are usually cheese and crackers, cottage cheese and strawberries, and chicken salad with light Hellman's mayo on crackers. In total I probably consume between 800 - 1000 cals per day. I was nervous because I thought i was eating too much by what I see others posting at, but my dietitian said that it was fine. I do however exercise pretty intensely 5-6 days a week and burn 500 - 700 calories each workout.

I must say that i am bored, bored, bored of eating the same thing. My problem had been up until the middle of February that I could hardly keep anything down. They had to go in and stretch the esophagus some, and the honeymoon is ending and I feel like I could eat way more and that scares me.  I am down 117 lbs as of Sunday, 5 months post op.
