Wednesday Weigh In and Soft Foods!

Lets start with the weigh in. I'm skipping this week. That is to say, I DID weigh myself this morning, but I wasn't happy with it. So I'm not posting it. My blog, my rules. Hehe.

Anyway the big news of the day is that I attended my Soft Foods class this evening with Patrick the nutritionist at my surgeon's office.

Take Away Points:

• I need to be eating 5-6 small meals per day. Which means, eating breakfast. Uggggh
• At each meal, I'll be trying to eat 1/4 cup of protein. Aiming for 60-80g of protein/day
• NO DRINKING 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after meals (there are several reasons for this)
• Take small bites, no bigger than a thumbnail
• Take 20-30 minutes to eat a meal
• And I have a new list of vitamins to take!

Vitamins:

• Continue with B Complex (it has biotin that will help to limit hair loss)
• Vitamin B-12 300-500mcg (sublingual)
• Bariatric Multivitamin containing Iron (chewable)
• Calcium 1200-1500mg (chewable)
• Vitamin D- 3000iu daily (to be taken with the Calcium)

I was also told to separate the calcium dose from multivitamin with iron by at least 2 hours. Let me just tell you how much I am looking forward to more CHEWABLE deliciousness. NOT REALLY.

So I am probably going shopping for this stuff tomorrow at Vitamin Shoppe, because I have a 20% off total purchase coupon!

I am also happy to report that I made tuna salad tonight and it was just fine :)

Stay tuned for vitamin reviews!
