Hi all,
I'm two months on from my gastic sleeve procedure.
It's mostly gone well, I'm eating normal foods now. I posted a few weeks ago that I worried I had been eating too much as had been hungry a lot.
I had taken advise from this site and am eating protien food first then veg then any carbs. I chew 20 times and don't eat after 20 minutes prior to when I first started to eat. I drink 1.5ltr if water a day and about 500ml of sugar free juice (around 2ltrs a day).
It was advised to try more unprocessed foods as I was worried as I became hungry almost every 2hrs and could potentially be overeating. I thought my portion sizes are the right size for a meal and just wanted to double check if they are? Please can you give me your opinion? I've added pictures to this for you to see.
The first picture of my tea tonight is two thin Richmond sausages, a tablespoon of peas, 2 gherkins and a poached egg (I only like the yolk).
Second picture id have 3 crackers, one slice of cheese and 3 pieces of chicken (,it'll change from chicken to turkey to ham)
The third picture is two reduced fat sausages, 2 tablespoons of peas and two tablespoons of mashed potato and tomato sauce (low sugar low salt) .I didn't eat any mashed potato in the end and only are 1 2/3 of the sausages .
I always eat my meals on a side plate .
Can you please give me your advise and opinions on my portion sizes- am I eating too much?
Thank you!
(Ps thanks to advice I am now exploring other foods such as chicken salads, bananas, sultanas, strawberries, low fat crisp, 5% fat mince, cod.
I currently eat 2 sometimes 3 meals a day and have around 2 snacks per day .Snacks are usually low fat crisp, salads and dips, 1/2 protein bar. Meals can be like the oicture, cheese and wafer thin meat, homemade cauliflower cheese, 5% mince with low fat cheese 1/2 jacket potato, chicken sausages, pork sausages, turkey slices)
