Gastric Bypass Daily Menus

[BypassBee]

Ive been away for the past few days, so my eating wasnt top notch...


On Thurs i ate nothing at all till about 7:30pm and i had some steak and a wee bit of dauphinoise potato uhhh a scallop uhhhmmm fruit salad and abite of my OH's choc pudding... we were at a hotel, so we had a meal.

I then scoffed a bag of kettle chips at about 11pm (a small bag, not the huuuge ones)

On Friday, i was getting tattooed... and then my OH was, so we were there all day, so i had a veggie patty subway half way through my tattoo... i only managed a 1/4 then managed to eat the rest through out the day (just a 6" one)

When we got home (at 10pm) we found our fridge (which we keep outside) had frozen... so we had no food... so we got a take out. I had a little chow mein, and prawn crackers, little rice.


Today, again not the best day!
I only got 4 hours sleep at the hotel ( i didnt notice the pillows were feather under the ones i was sleeping on) woke up feeling AWFUL... so i was so tired today!

Had to go into town, spent 2 hours walking (was in town for longer, so that takes out all the times i was stood still looking at crap lol) - so atleast i managed to burn some badness off...

Today i ate:

Tiny bowl of left over take away.
Fruit.
Beef strog, with asparagus (was ment to be scallops, but i did an epic fail and the sauce split)

Sorry for the mad long post!
I'm going to do some exercise tomorrow (my arm is killing me after sitting for 4 hours being tattooed! it hurts to even move it a little)

on the plus side, my weight has stayed the same, i havent put on any, and ive lost all my christmas weight and some , i seem to have lost inches recently too! YAAAY!!!


The end... lol

[Pandora_150]

Hi everyone!

I have been told by my team (both the Nurse AND my dietician) that I have not been eating enough, so I thought I would start posting my menu on here again and get peoples opinions.

I don't think I could eat much more than I am, and for me the portions feel 'right'. I am not going to push myself to eat when my body tells me to stop! I have not been sick or had any other problems with my food and I don't intend to start now!

It came up when I mentioned I was feeling faint and I callapsed a few times after standing up too quickly. After going to the doctor it turned out I had low blood pressure - I drink 2 litres pd, so I'm increasing it to 3 to try and help with that.

My team are telling me to eat between 800-1000 Kcal pd, but I am managing around 500-600. When it came up I was havng between 300-500 so I know I'm doing better - just not as high as they are asking for.

I have tried increasing my portion size but my body just won't let me eat more; and I have tried eating more regularly but then the amount I can eat in a portion significantly decreases. And like I have said before I won't force myself to eat once I feel full.

I never intended to calorie count after my operation, but now I feel I have to in order to make sure I am following my teams advice!

Long rant over with, so here is my food today:

Friday 15th January
[550]
0900 1 egg [80], 1 slice ham [20], 4 tsp beans [70]
1330 1 Go Ahead Slice [70]
1500 1/2 Wholewheat wrap [100], 2 Turkey Slices [50], 1 Light Mini Babybell [40]
1800 1/3 ready meal: Chicken in Blackbean, Fried Rice, 1 Veg Spring Roll (baked not fried) [200]

 

[salski]

Today was fine until last night
B - yoghurt
D - chicken and cous cous
T - chicken with few LF oven chips
Snacks - lots of raw peanuts, then half a tube of winegums!
