How much should I be eating at a time one month post op?
Every doctor/ nutritionist will have their set guidelines on what they feel is the recommended amount you should be taking in at each feeding. If you got a binder with info on it like i did look back in on it. I call it my weight loss bible.
Example for me in in the Pureed Stage
7:00am- 2tbsp of Banana Mashed plus 2 TBSP. Greek yogurt
8:30am - 8 ounces of powerade zero or something that is sugar free.
10:00am - Protein Shake
12:00pm - 2 tbsp. of pureed meat, 1tbsp. vegetable and 1 tbsp. Starch (like mashed potatoes) or fruit pureed
2:00pm- 8 ounces of powerade zero or something that is sugar free.
3:30pm - 2 tbsp ricotta cheese and 2 tbsp applesauce
4:30pm - protein shake
6:00 pm 2 tbsp. of pureed meat, 1tbsp. vegetable and 1 tbsp. Starch (like mashed potatoes) or fruit pureed
7:30 pm - 8oz broth or 1/4 cup sugar free pudding (add some unflavored protein to either)
9:00pm - protein shake
you can experiment with cheeses. I did with laughing cow spreadable cheese and stuff.
Good luck
The sample menus I received in my binder call for way more food than you have listed. I will try what you've posted. It seems much closer to what I can actually eat!
