EATING

Just wondering what all the January people are eating for meals and how much. Here is an example of what I eat, B 1/4 c. cottage cheese. pears L 2 oz. turkey breast 1/4 c green beans Protein shake D 1/4 c tuna, 1/4 c green beans 1/4 cup peaches Does this sound about right to what all of you are eating? I would really appreciate your comments. If you only eat Wendy's chile, how much do you eat, 1/2 c. or 1 c.? Have a great day. Rosemary

I eat the Wendy's chili at almost every meal. I eat 1/2 cup at each meal.

I am not a good one to ask. But I will tell you anyway. I drink abgout 1/2 cup of tea w/milk & 1tsp sugar and 2 peanut butter nabs for breakfast. I eat 1/2 of a protein bar for snack. I eat about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of chili or beans for lunch. I eat the other 1/2 protein bar for snack. what I eat for dinner varies greatly but usually about 1 tbls cooked veggies, 1-2 oz meat and maybe a small bite of potatoes. I eat SF popsicles for a night time snack. After reading my typical day... I think I had better work harder on getting my proteins in... Hope this helps.... Cathy

my surgeons requirements for eating for at least the first 4 months is this: 2oz of food(preferably protein) 6 times a day or 2oz of food 4 times a day along with 2 protein shakes either way it totals 80 grams of protein and at this point we dont need to be counting calories etc as long as we follow those rules-I had surgery 1/16 and am down 53 lbs

Rosemary, There is a posting on the January board every day that says "What was on your menu today" it is a wonderful piece of reference for all kinds of ideas. This will give you answers and ideas every day thanks to Kay. Good luck! Kristie

thanks to all of you, Rosemary
