Question:
I've lost my menu plan for the amount I'm suppose to be eating

I had RNY June of 08 and feel like I've fallen off the wagon. I wanted to see how much protein, fruit and veggies I'm suppose to be eating for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Need to get back on track before it's too late. I don't want to head down that road AGAIN... :)    — * S. (posted on January 25, 2010)

Contact your surgeon's nutritionist. They will have everything you need. Your surgeon & their staff are there for you for anything you have concerns about or problems with. They are "your" personal medical team. Take advantage of their care & expertise when you need it. Good luck.

I can tell you what guidelines i was given for after one year out.. Three meals a day, 5 hours apart, 1 cup of food.\, 1200 calories a day, Protein first, then fruits and vegtables then grains, 60 to 80 grams of protein, do not drink for 1/2 hour after meals. From reading many posts here, I can tell you that doctors have a wide variety of recommendations. Can you talk to the nutrionist or doctors office and ask them to mail you a copy of the guidelines? I am terrified of eventuall ruining my surgery. I have lost 120 pounds in the past and regained it without the sugery. I am only one month out from a RNY. I am sorry that you are struggling.

Each of us are given a diet particular to us as an individual person. You need to just ask even if it is over the phone to your NUT they would have a copy of what they origionaly gave you.AND.. They might be able to tweak it for you as your needs have changed over the last year.
