Watcha eating today????

Hey guys just thought we might like to share what we are eating today. B: 1 scrambled egg w/shredd. cheese S: 4oz protien drink L: 1/4 cup cottage chesse S: 4oz protien drink D: 1/4 cup fat free refriend beans w/ fat free sour cream. Melissa

Melissa, thanks for the post, I'm still pre-op, doing the 3 month "Insurance diet" before submitting paper work and this is my first exposure to actual food amounts. Boy I guess I'm going to save a bundle on my food shopping bill! Guess I'll just live the next 3 months on food in my freezer to get it all used up! So even us pre-ops can have WOW moments. Thanks for the eye opener. Derrick

Derrick, I know the food amounts seem really small, but I am truley full when done. Its wierd to me though, I can drink lots of fluids at one time but the actual food I cannot. Keep working on the "Insurance diet" we want you on the loosing side. Melissa

Breakfast will be an EAS Protein shake (on the go is a must for me) and one 10-oz. latte (make my own). My mid-morning snack will be 1 oz cheese and 2 soy crackers. To drink, I will have a 16 oz bottle of Sunrise Crystal Light in the morning and another in the afternoon, along with a 20oz bottle of Nestle's orange water (my fave). For lunch, it will probably be 6 oz of soup or a small salad with egg and sunflower seeds and ranch dressing. My afternoon snack is going to be cheese again. (I love cheese and it's good protein, plus I need more fat in my diet). And dinner???? Who knows! I'm not into leftovers lately. Maybe tilapia or salmon with veggies, depends on what's in the freezer!

Jen, I had no clue that you could get soy crackers!!!! That was a big shocker to me. Would you share with me where they can be purchased? Have a good day at work. Melissa

B- a tbls of natural peanut butter and sugar free jelly on low carb bread (tired of eggs and protien pudding) S- cottage cheese L- Cobb salad S- protien drink (probably isopure apple mango) on the way home from the gym D- Left over something (ham or pork) and salad

Chip, What is cobb salad?? If you do not mind sharing. Melissa

Cobb Salad is chopped chicken breast, blue cheese, a little bacon and chopped egg whites on lettuce. Lots of protein.
