MENU

Can someone just give me a sample of a typical day's menu? I just went on solids and this packet with the food guidelines says 3 meals no snacks but continue with shakes? That does not make sense.  I would starve to death without shakes in between the mini meals. Also i feel like a walking zombie.......like I'm running out of gas, cant sleep enough and picked up 5 lbs  in the mushy week.......HELP

When I started solids I was told no shakes because they want us to get our protein from our food unless we get a fill .  Every doc is different though and mine likes us to have snacks it keeps your metabolism working all day long .

Here is what I ate today.

Breakfast   2 eggs and 2 small pieces of turkey sausage it equals to be about a cup

Lunch BBQ chicken ,  green beans

Dinner   grilled pork chops, baked potato, broccoli

Snacks I made homemade beef  jerky today so been having that for my snacks . 

But usually I grab a  handful of peanuts for snacks when I get hungry


tomorrow's menu is

Breakfast   grilled pork chop and cottage cheese

Lunch doing errands so eating out somewhere

Dinner   chicken on the grill and grilled veggies

 I gained six pounds during mushy stage also it will come back off

I gained weight in the mushies stage too.  Don't worry, it will come off.  My doctor also says no snacks, but he said if you are really REALLY hungry (and make sure it's not head hunger), have something small and healthy.  In the morning, it can be difficult for some to eat because the band tends to be tighter when you first get up.  So, if I have to leave early for work, I have a protein shake for breakfast.  Also, in the evening, if I haven't gotten in all my protein, I'll have a shake.

If you look back at previous posts entitled, "What are we eating...", you'll see lots of menus to give you ideas. 

Can you exercise yet?  Once I was able to start working out, I slept like a baby...

You can do this!!!
