MORE DAILY FOOD DIARY

[Guest guest]

Alyssa,

I think that this daily food diary is a great idea! You're doing

fabulously, and before you know it, you'll be at goal weight. :0)

I thought I would post my diary for the last two days as well for

those of you who find it helpful to see what a post-op eats. I am

11 weeks out as of yesterday. I always try to get in as close to 64oz

of water daily, but usually fall a bit short. I also take 12

Vita4life vitamins every day (Can't wait to see my first set of blood

results after being on these vitamins for 3 months).

YESTERDAY

Breakfast - One Chorizo and Egg Burrito with Salsa (this has about 2

eggs in it and Chorizo is a mexican sausage).

Lunch - A Malibu Chicken sandwich (Chicken breast with a slice of

ham, melted cheese, lettuce, and tomato). I usually eat just the

insides and dump the bun because it takes up too much room. A small

bag of Potato Chips, and a glass of Iced Tea.

Dinner - Carnitas Michoacanas (Small seasoned cubes of pork meat),

about 1/8 of a cup of refried beans, a couple of bites of rice, half

of a small tortilla, and a few tortilla chips dipped in salsa.

TODAY

Breakfast - One Chorizo and Egg Burrito with Salsa.

Lunch - Philadelphia Cheesesteak wrapped in a tortilla instead of on

a hoagie, small bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, and a glass of Iced Tea.

Snack - 4 pieces of dried fruit.

Dinner - Haven't had yet, but it will be Roast Beef with potatoes and

carrots. I will mainly eat the beef, but will have a few bites of

the vegetables.

TIP: When I have a sandwich, I try to wrap it in a tortilla instead

of using bread. I find bread way too filling, and the tortilla is

used basically to hold the food I want. If I find an area that is

mostly tortilla, I rip it off and toss it out, so I'm not even eating

the whole tortilla. Also, I'm now lactose intollerant due to the DS

surgery and I find that many breads have milk in them. Most

tortilla's don't have milk in them, so this helps me out.

Regards,

Dorian
