Thursday's eats........and comments..........;)

I started my "pre-op" 10 day prep eating yesterday.....you know,  the one you do just prior to surgery to shrink your liver.  I am changing it up a bit to include more protein and instead of just a shake for lunch, I am eating protein....about 3 oz.   Yesterday went well......got a little hungry at lunch, that is why I ate some protein.  Today, I have added more protein powder to my shake.  I won't weigh again until Friday, Jan. 23.......we will see if I can lose my holiday gain!!  I will let you know how I am doing.

todays eats....morning vits✅  Water started✅  And I have already walked 2 miles this morning !!  Woot !

breakfast........coffee/miralax.........protein induced shake

lunch..............3 oz. protein (either chicken or turkey with some cheese)......protein shake

dinner.............3 oz. grilled chicken, acorn squash (from Bountiful Baskets) and a salad

I hope everyone has a great, motivated day !!

Great start! I didn't have to do the diet to shrink my liver, thank goodness. I had a lot of problems with protein shakes after surgery, I ended up chewing the heck out of cottage cheese. After surgery I couldn't stand the sweet. I had VSG but still experience dumping for some reason, keeps me accountable. Everyone is different. Your tastes will change post-surgery too!

Welcome aboard, enjoy the ride!

I had my surgery 4 years ago, I am just trying to jumpstart my eating and lose holiday weight.....then I will work more diligently on my regain........just gotta get the motivation !!   

I am doing a variation of Dr. Oz's Total 10 diet. Look on his website, I think it is from last week.

I am in the car( I'm the passenger) on my way to Arkansas. Have some business to take care of.  Will be there about 9 days. Brought protein shakes and bars with me.
