Food Ideas???
myra send me your email to [email protected] and I will send you the plan my dr gave me.. My wife had it done july 2003 and has lost 105 lbs so we know it works...I had mine done 11/9/04
Mayra,
My surgeon says five 4oz meals per day. 60g protein minimum, preferrably from meat or cheese, then veggies, then fruit, then carbs.
I may have the following:
B: 1 egg (or egg white) cheese omelet (usually dont fini****) and 1 pc bacon
Snack: Soy milk (choc, mocha or chai) or 1/2 protein bar or shake
L: 1/2 wrap (chicken salad, meat and cheese, tuna, etc) or small salad or sm soup with a few crackers
Snack: a handful of trail mix or a couple SF mini cookies or 1/2 protein bar
D: small amt of boneless chicken or pork chop or cheese and a few crackers or a small salad or wendy's small chili
Snack: protein bar or shake or SF dessert (Carb Smart ice cream sandwich or SF fruit bar)
I dont eat three snacks a day, sometimes I need them and some times I dont.
If I am feeling a little run down (usually at work in the afternoon) I will dip into my own version of trail mix. I buy most of the stuff at the health food store in the bulk section and add dehydrated blueberries or strawberries that I get from another market. A little goes a long way and it seems to re-energize me.
This is what works for me, some days I feel full after a little and other days I can eat more. I still havent figured out why that happens.
Good luck,
Amy
