I'm still about 1 1/2 months pre-op:

Breakfast - 1 cup egg beaters and 1/3 of a banana

Lunch - 2 slices whole grain bread, 3oz Boars head low sodium turkey breast

Snack - 5 almonds

Dinner - 3.5 oz grilled shrimp, 1/2cup steamed broccoli

Snack - dannon l & f

80 oz water spread out through the day.

Happy Monday! Easter was a free day for me, I ate the cals/carbs I wanted but still tracked, measured and weighted my portions to keep myself from over eating and getting sick, and I had a very tiny mimosa, I still hit protein and water goals I don't feel bad about it but I am back on track for normal metrics today.

B: Protein shake with 2 scoops chocolate protein, 1/2 a dannon light and fit banana yogurt, and a cup of unsweetened coconut milk.

L: I made a kind of shrimp stir fry with the mushroom medley from Trader Joe's and sesame and coconut oil and added a scoop of unflavored whey protein at the very end which made kind of a gravy with the oils, it is not unpleasant or lumpy/gritty it has awesome seasoning. I am quite proud of this dish since I just kind of experimented.

D: Light Turkey Deli meat, a light string cheese

S: Probably nothing, I need to ge****er in and I haven't been too hungry lately so my snacking has been minimal.

W: A Bit behind but I'll get it all in.

V: not yet I've been a bit bad about them lately but am working on getting back on track with them.

E: Because of the carbs/gluten yesterday I've had a bit of an upset tummy all day so mostly the bit of walking I did with getting my blood work (for my 3 month post op) done today and going to Trader Joe's. But I am going to try and get up early tomorrow and hike before work. And for sure I am hiking Thursday morning early with a girlfriend and will have my daily walking at work for 5 days this week so I'm not overly concerned.

Your shrimp stir fry sounds excellent.  Great idea making gravy with protein powder.
