✨What I eat in a day as a Bariatric Patient✨

Here’s a peek at my daily meals as someone on a bariatric journey! I’m supposed to have 4 small meals a day—usually 2–4 oz of protein and about 1/3–1/2 cup of veggies or fruit. I do my best to get most of my protein from real meals, but let’s be real—life is busy! As a full-time student and stay-at-home mom of 3, some days a protein shake or bar is just the easiest way to hit my goals. 💪

Calories and protein grams are included with each meal to keep myself on track. This lifestyle is all about balance, planning, and making it work for your reality. 💖
