Not looking to criticize anyone, I just thought it would be fun to know what everyone had for dinner tonight. I am about 11 1/2 months post op and am doing great. Tonight for dinner I had 1/2 can of re-fried beans with some cheese, salsa, sour cream and some black olives. What did you have?

I still eat 4 oz of cottage cheese for breakfast every day. I was told by my doctor that because of the consistency it is considered a slider food. Has anyone else heard this before?

Eggs are a good source of protein. It took me about 6 months before I could eat more than 1 and I still have a problem eating 2 at a sitting and I am about 1 year out. Off subject a little, did you know you can order scrambled eggs at McDonald's? It's about 2 eggs and they only charge about $2.00. I am not certain but for people like us it is probably the best choice we can make while away from home.

I got impatient,I couldn't wait to do my 1 year picture so I am posting my 11 month progress picture.

I mostly concentrate on protein. I stay away from foods that I used to consider healthy. I am 1 year post op and 90% of my daily intake is still protein. I have the occasional salad or piece of fruit but I can count how often per month on one hand. I just received the results from lab work I had done for my upcoming 6 month primary care physician appointment and all my numbers were perfect. My advice to anyone having the surgery or recently had it, Don't eat something because it is good for you, eat stuff your body needs and try to stay away from everything else.

I had a post surgery sleep study done this past Saturday. I am still required to use my cpap but they turned my pressure down from 14 to 6. Hopefully I won't need mine in another few months.
