Can I just say, and I'm just being honest...

There are a lot of 1200 diet plans on the net, here is one: http://www.md-health.com/1200-calorie-meal-plan.html

What are your questions? I believe we have a nutritionist here at AF.

Good site, but if you notice my previous post, I'm only allowed x number of servings per protein, fruit, veggie etc. I can't have more than two servings of fruit. As per the dietitian at the weight loss clinic, 1/2 of a banana is equal to one serving of fruit. So looking at the website's suggestion for day 1 calls for a serving of fruit juice, an orange, a banana, and a piece of fruit. That already puts me at five servings of fruit - three over what I'm allowed. Also, day one there are no proteins listed. I am required to eat 7 servings (7 ounces, divided) of protein per day.

This is why this is so hard. It's easy to find 1200 calories in stuff. Not so easy to follow the serving requirements by the doctor and the clinic.

Part of following their plan is to train you to stick to a regimented diet. You'll need that after surgery for proper nutrition and maintenance. 

Look at some of the other sites. They give a breakdown of servings for protein/fruit/carb/.....: https://discovergoodnutrition.com/2013/1...diet-plan/

I'm sure that if you contact the provider dietitian they can provide you with meal plans that comply with their 1200 cal and # of servings diet program. 

I don't think anybody said this was going to be easy.
