Re: Eating question

[Guest guest]

Mike,

What type of protein are you using? I have given up on protein shakes for

now, since I am having such a revulsion to the taste and smell of the whey. I

also have a difficult time eating more than a few bites of chicken or lean deli

meat in one meal. The sensation in my pouch makes me feel like I might

vomit.

Not to try and make it sound unimportant, but hey we can only do what we

can do. As time goes on things will start to sound good again and you will

eat and drink more.......Getting 70g each day? well there are always going

to be days when you don't do everything perfect, but we keep trying. You

might have days when you only get half that in, but its better than making

yourself sick and that means you get nothing.....yourself sick and that means

y

if you can handle the shakes then use them until you feel like your able to

eat more. I still have shakes all the time and im working on five months out

now........

Hello everyone, I am a newbie to this WLS thing. I am waiting to here from

Celebration Hospital in Orlando Florida to start all of my pre op appointments

and such. I mostly lurk on this group for now as I don't have to many

questions yet. I have been reading and doing a lot of research on my own. I did

find something on the Internet that might be helpful. I have not tried it or

know anything about it but it looked interesting._New Whey Liquid Protein IDS

It is a vial of whey protein in liquid form. It has 25 grams of protein with no

carbs, or fat in a 2.9 oz serving. Maybe this could help people get in their

protein in a small amount for their tiny tummies. Debi

Hi Patty,

I was the same way, NOTHING sounded good, I still go through that often.

Sometimes I will just take in an extra drink or some beef jerky. All you can do

is try your best, because like Mike said, it will take time to adjust and get

used to the new everything. Nothing tasted the same to me either, it was like

learning all over again with each food. I like it honestly... I do not desire

the same things and I appreciate that about this surgery. I seem to just desire

healthier foods now... I crave fruits and veggies before anything. It's great!

Hi Patty,

Remember - EAT TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO EAT! I can't remember where I heard that,

but it probably came from this group. I've had days when nothing sounded or

tasted good, but you have to eat anyways. You have to feed the body. The food

is a fuel source. Without it, you'll run out of steam and your metabolism will

shut down, therefore storing all food as fat for fuel and compromising your

weight loss. If nothing sounds good, eat anyways - some kind of protein

(yogurt, cottage cheese, meat, etc.)

Hi Debi,

No offense intended, but I had both flavors and hated them. They were thick,

smelled bad, and tasted bad. However, taste buds differ and maybe some of you

will like them.

Mike,

How many calories? I'm now 360lbs (pre-op) and take in

3000+ (reason I'm 360). I have to think once I get

surgery and reach an ideal weight, let’s say 200lbs; I

should be able to take between 1000-1500 calories...

I'm I right or just completely of the mark?

Thanks,

I figure I'm probably taking in 400-500 per meal on average. Keep in

mind the Healthy Choice I have for lunch are usually only 210-300 so

I probably take more in for dinner. Then the snacks are maybe 200-300

(that's probably a bit high actually and why I usually try to stick

to only one snack as a routine). That all works out to something

between 1400-2100. 2000 calories is the federal RDA for what that's

worth. Keep in mind I'm a large, Dutch 6' tall male too.

When I was on the two week preparatory diet for the surgery I was

taking in only 800 calories a day. Months before, trying to lose

weight to be accepted for the surgery, I'd cut out chips, sweets,

etc. but was taking in quite a lot still at I'd guess somewhere in

the neighborhood of 3500. I would think that at my heaviest I was

probably pulling down the 1400-2100 calories PER MEAL. Needless to

say losing weight hasn't been a problem since I've cut back on

calories to this extent.

Obviously that's not all there is to it. I've increased my physical

activity from going to the bathroom and walking to my car up to

walking a few miles a day, bike riding and some slight weight

lifting. Also WHAT I'm eating is much different too. I rarely ate

fresh fruit, never really vegetables, and always excessive amounts of

anything else (nutritional or otherwise).
