EggplantMassacre ^^ i love doing that with my turkey slices almost everyday for lunch! But i will certainly try that as well

Thank you so much for everyone's responses! They were very very helpful, I truly do appreciate it I have a question though: if i am still struggling with wanting something to graze, can i just graze on a few cucumber slices. They don't have that many calories so is it a possibility? Like every time i feel like having a chocolate or crackers etc, can i just grab a few cucumber slices? However, I realized that I do find my cravings to be at bay if i only stick to pure Protein foods (meat-mainly chicken, eggs, low fat cheese). So i think i will go back to focusing on that Here was my menu for today: (please feel free to tell me if I should modify things) Breakfast: 2 small scrambled eggs with 1 Pillar's turkey bites Lunch: 5 slices of cold cuts roll ups with 3 tbsp of low sodium white cheese Snack: 2-3 slices of low fat cheese Dinner: 3 oz of grilled chicken Dessert: i have had some sugar free Jello while my family was munching on Lindt milk hazelnut chocolate hehe That's around 62 protein. However i try not to count my calories because I become extremely obsessive based on my past and I don't want to have a mental breakdown about it. For carbs, i try to do <40 although i always end up at <30. I think adding a snack and the jello have helped keep me sane today Thanks again everybody!

Just wanted to thank you guys for the encouragement! And i do not really have a list of foods from my nutritionist but so far i am sticking to yogurt for Breakfast and chicken salads. I also like low fat cheese and some fruit too And thank god i am staying home during college since it's in the same town i am currently living in! For exercise, i am walking for at least an hour a day, but I should probably throw in some weight training . Again thank you guys so much

Hello I just recently created an account in hopes of receiving some help and advice from gastric sleeve patients (It took me a lot of courage to decide to do this though). I hope I am asking in the right place though hehe. Anyways, I have had my vsg on August 4th 2014 at the age of 17 and so far I am over 80 pounds down! My sw was 220lbs and I am hoping to be near 102-110 pounds (I am only 4 foot 10). I have a few questions so bear with me please I have had my vsg in a different country than in the one I currently live in so I do not have anyone to kinda follow up with. I was also given a nutrition plan for the first 6 months only(although it was quite vague). Right now, I am currently struggling with a lot of grazing. I have never been the one to actually eat a proper meal before my surgery and I grazed instead, but right now I am grazing non stop through the day especially on sweet things. Sadly, this has resulted in me in stalling for a few months and then putting on 2 pounds and i decided to seek advice before I gain more. Also, my family eats completely different things than I do, so I am literally left on my own to figure it out and it is hard to cook and such since I was busy with my last year of high school and I will be starting university soon. I looked up online and a lot of surgeons or nutritionists say no snacking while others encourage it. I believe that maybe having 1-2 planned Snacks would help since I am awake for a long period of time and if I try only sticking to 3 meals I feel like gnawing my own arm hehe I am sticking to Protein but sometimes I am just overwhelmed or bored because I keep eating the same things everyday (I do love chicken though!). I was hoping if someone could share their food choices/meal plans with me if possible or maybe easy things I can cook for myself? Lastly, I was hoping if there are other people who have lost weight everywhere except for their belly. I have lost weight in my whole body and a bit in my belly, but it seems to be the only place where there is stubborn fat (I am apple shaped) and my belly is just hanging and nothing seems to help.( I am guessing that's why I am a bit carb sensitive and I need to completely cut carbs out if i want to lose weight.) Thank you very much in advance and hoping to meet other people as well
