I have a question. I'm a year out, and I'm still getting the majority of my protein from protein shakes. I drink two a day, one for breakfast and one in the afternoon (sometimes I'm not hungry for dinner and the afternoon protein shake is my dinner).
Part of my problem is
1) Since surgery, I've had a strong aversion to most meat and still have trouble digesting anything other than very moist chicken breast or tuna.
2) I still can't eat very much - I can only eat food about the size of an egg before getting very full. I get free lunch everyday at the hospital and they always have a meat and green vegetable, so I usually eat about 1 oz of meat and a bite of green veggie.
Dinner is usually a hard boiled egg, or 1 oz shredded rotisserie chicken, or 1/3 can of tuna.
Should I cut out one of the protein shakes and just try to find protein snacks to supplement what I can't fit in at meals? I tried doing a triple zero yogurt in the afternoon and a string cheese in the morning for a snack but felt too full. Is this normal a year out?
I'm trying to get in to see my doctor but their office hours are shorter than my work day and I'm not allowed to make Dr. appointments during work hours.
I guess I'm just wondering what 1 year out diet should look like?
