✨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. 💖

Days when you struggle as a bariatric patient

Some days are better than others, makes me want to quit and say I give up. Then I remember why I did this and it gives me the motivation to keep going. Gotta take the good with the bad. #bariatricsurgey #rny #weightlostjourney

Bariatric Struggles

As a bariatric patient, I still struggle with putting more on my plate than what I should. I never eat more than I can handle. Usually I just end up sharing with the dogs. 4-5 bites in an hour time frame is about all I can do. This mornings breakfast consist of 1 piece of Sara Lee Wheat Toast

Bariatric Meal Idea

I made these delicious Mexican chicken salad to take for lunch today! I call it Mexican because it has the essential onion, tomatoes, jalapeños, and mayo! 😬 I loved using these cheese crisps to substitute my tostadas, I loved the added crunch! #mealprep #bariatricbaddies #wlstransformation
