Yes, I do if I have room left. Probably 1/4 to 1/2 cup or so of veggies at that stage?

At ten months, I was still in weight loss mode and a typical day might look like:
Breakfast: 2 oz spicy turkey sausage + 1 oz refried Beans
Lunch: 2 oz chopped chicken breast + 1 oz chopped green veggies + 1/2 T. salad dressing
Dinner: 2 oz tuna salad + 1 shirred egg
Another day might be:
Breakfast: 2.5 ounces Greek yogurt with 1/2 ounce almond butter stirred in
Lunch: 1/2 turkey spinach feta burger patty
Dinner: 2 oz lamb chop, 1 oz oven roasted broccoli
And another day:
Breakfast: 3 oz sirloin steak rolled with dabs of mustard inside romaine lettuce leaves
Lunch: 1/2 can sardines + 1 oz chopped grilled asparagus
Dinner: 1 egg + 1 egg white scrambled with curry sauce & 1 T. cheddar cheese
Snacks on all days: Protein shakes only
My basic rules were: 3 meals per day of 3 ounces per meal (at a year out I went up to 4-5 ounces per meal), no Snacks other than Protein Shakes
At least 2 oz of each meal must be high Protein food (meat, fish, eggs, beans)
No grains, starchy veggies, sweets, tropical fruits, or liquid calories other than Protein Shakes
I leaned heavily -- and still do -- on frozen and prepared food from Trader Joe's and my local food coop.

Thanks Daisee68. Do you also eat veggies with the 3oz of meat, is so, how much. Thanks again!!

I like the Isopure Zero Carb Protein Drinks in the 20 oz. bottles. They have a bunch of flavors (grape, apple, punch, blue raspberry). they are 160 cals, 40 g Protein - lactose free! They are a little pricey but the Vitamin Shop has them on sale now. I bought a few cases of them to stock up.

I am extremely sorry to read your post, no one should have to go through additional emotional stress when there are so many other areas of stress you are coping with.
Is there any way for you to resolve your current feelings with what has happened with the surgeon and the hospital? If not, start making some phone calls to other surgeons in your area. Not every practice is willing to accept patients from another practice. I encountered this when I moved to another state.
You always have the option of reporting the surgeon and the hospital to the state board which oversees their operation and ethics.
I wish I could offer more insights...take care. I hope your situation can be resolved expeditiously.

Have you talked to your insurance company? They may have a list of surgeon's in their network. Be sure and find a center of excellence. Best of luck with your recovery.
