I'm eating 2-3 oz, 3 times a day. Also having to get in 60 grams if protien a day. It's impossible to get on just food, so I drink atleast one protien shake a day. So here's what I do:
Breakfast:
1scrambled egg ( add little cheese)
1 or 2 oz of Greek yogurt
30 mins after:
Protien shake
Lunch:
2 oz tuna fish ( mixed with low fat mayo)
1 oz fruit
Sometime in afternoon can do another shake
Supper:
2 oz baked cod
1 oz mashed potatoes or carrots

Hope this helps a little! Your not getting enough protien in! It's ok to drink your shakes, I promise! Remember, your just a day ahead of me.

Green,

WHy don't you give your Nutritionist a call when they are back in the office tomorrow?

They really should have given you more information, than you seemed to have received, especially about Protein shakes.

You will do this, and eating the 2 ounces is not much, but those protein shakes do fill you up. CK out "According to Eggface" web site too, she has a lot of ways to mix all different things into the protein shakes, that make them taste better.

I do feel, that they do help, fill you up in these early stages.

Good luck, and let us know!

3 wks out on Tuesday.

I appreciate all thd help. I'm going to call the office tomorrow morning and find out what they want me to do.

Green,

GOOD! They need to BE THERE FOR YOU!

That is their job! Don't be afraid to speak up, ok?

Proud of you for asking all of these things they did not bother to tell you.

Go get em' !!!!

Hugs,

Boo

Let us know what you find out!! And if you need to eat a bit more... eat a bit more... We are all different and a program guideline is just that... a guide line. And if what you add in is a healthy protein option, I cannot imagine you are doing any harm!

As you know, all programs are SOOOOO different! I was on clear liquids while in hosp only, then soft foods for 2 weeks.. then real food after that, of course with caution and care till I knew what worked.

And I really really do get the "i'm hungry" thing... and learning to listen to our bodies and its signals takes some work postop. I am still learning to listen to my body vs my head at 5 months... and will probably struggle with this for the rest of my life!

It's very likely that it is your head that is hungry, not your body. Head hunger is a common problem, especially i the early days of your new GBS lifestyle. Give it time. You'll adjust. And you'll be so thrilled with your body's meltdown, that it will seem to be a small adjustment. Hang in there.

That early on, my body was still healing and trying to figure everything out. I measured strictly according to my guidelines and if I felt like I needed something else, I'd have a sugar-free popsicle or some jello or something.

Best to you!!
