again diet help

[ab_chic25]

Ok so everything is set for the next few months with health. Now I need help with a diet plan that wont add major weight as I am only allowed to life 5lbs and not bend, in a couple weeks. So I am looking for something not overly high in protein as I am giving a kidney and dont want to add more stress to the remaining one just yet.

I will also not be doing much movement for the first four weeks other then some light walking around the house. So fellow CBB'ers please help me out. I am very worried about putting back on the 90lbs i have lost over the last year or so..... Oh and after the first 8-10 weeks I will be hitting the gym but with a personal trainer so I dont do injury to myself.

height: 5'9.5
weight: 180lbs
goal cal in take during the first four weeks :1400-1600/daily

Stick to fresh beef, poultry, fish, eggs with some fresh fruit and an abundance of fibrous veggies. Avoid any and all starchy carbs like the plague!!!!!

hmmmm so i already was going to try and get mom not to buy them. Your talking like cookies, chips, crap like that right??

I was thinking I might pick up some whole grain pitas and bread just so i dont stress my body too much with no carbs. But nothing else then the whole grain stuff, and then only twice a week.

You arent going no or even low carbs if you are eating fresh fruit and veggies. Im talking no starches...no potato, no sweet potato, no rice, no pita...no pasta...90% of women do not need starchy carbs...they are overkill. Whole grains is a politically nice way of saying stuff that makes us fat.

Its not excuses but fact. When your on weight limits, and movement limits from doctors for 6 weeks because you've have been cut open, most people listen. I for one dont want to **** my body up after and will be listening to doctors orders by the book. Please dont post in this thread if you have nothing good to say..

Like I said I will try but mom likes to cook heavy meals. She is ok, and said she will try to stick to my shopping list. Its mostly veggies, fruits and lean meats I have on there. But she is also shopping for herself and my father, so its not right of me to say, hey you cant have this crap in my house. Come'on life is life, dieting is hard work. I dont know about anyone else but I tend to eat when bored, thats what got me to 270lbs. So yea its a day to day struggle. But enough rants............

Anyone have ideas about what fruits to buy, I mean like what exotic kinds are good tasting???? I will try anything once, if it looks good lol.

You need to explain to your Mom that your nutrition is vital to recovering from such a stressful operation. The body will accelerate healing if you provide the proper nutrients for this to happen. Heavy foods will deposit fat quickly in essence slowing recovery and making the process very inefficient...stressing your body out as you would put it. Fresh nutritious food with adequate EFA's, adequate carb and protein intake is what the body needs to operate efficiently. Because you will be very inactive loading up with heavy carbs will put tremendous stress (insulin release, inflammation, higher cholesterol) exactly what you dont need at this time. I would take what your Doctors say in regards to nutrition with a grain of salt...most are grossly undereducated in the area of nutrition. Do your own research and be prepared.
