2.5 months post op meal ideas
What does your day look like for food? I am needing some help outlining what i should be eating ect. Ive NEVER been good at this stuff so could really use some help. Ive noticed ive stalled a few times and im sure it bc i suck at making food plans. So can you all tell me what your day looks like? Please :D
What you might want to do is get friends on myfitnesspal and you can see what they ate each and every day if they are willing to share that information with you.
Not sure if this helps but I found it while searching the internet. It isn't what I used but looks to be very reasonable and full of good information. It's a bariatric booklet for those that have had VSG produced by The University Of Missouri Health System.

Also since you already know the basics as set aside by your surgeon and or nutritionist on calories and carbs I will pass on a link to a ton of great WLS friendly recipes. Some of these are for people in the maintenance phase but a lot are for the weight loss phase. Perhaps these will give you some ideas. Particularly the Muffin in a Minute recipe ... yum. My friend Dave Schronce put this together and has had the gastric bypass surgery. I mention the last part to let you know that he understands the needs of people that have had weight loss surgery. Go to the link and go into the area listed as WLS Friendly. I think there are 4 pages of recipes that could give you a lot of ideas. http://www.schronce.net/forum/index.php?16
For breakfast i have turkey egg cup bake, or scrambled egg with cheese n pepperoni, or tomato slice with a drizzle of olive oil and mozzarella cheese,
lunch is normally chicken breast with plain Greek yogurt and a thin slice of tomato. Sometimes I have vegetarian or regular chili, or tortilla soup. I've also incorporated a couple of fruits even tho there isnt really any protein but I love the change of textures...such as watermelon and "baked apple slices" to make them softer, with cinnamon and sweet n low.
dinner is sometimes a protein shake or maybe even a half of a jalapeno burger patty or any of the above. Oh, on occasion I will have whatever i make my family so if its pasta its literally like one noodle or one spaghetti or one ziti with a few pcs of hamburger meat crumbles and sauce.
*i'm 2 months out*
Snacks were protein shakes (or protein pudding), deli meat & cheese roll ups, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese.
