Hmm...I eat all kinds of things. I'm assuming you're not too tight? oatmeal with Peanut Butter in it, toast with peanut butter and sliced fruit on it, shredded carrot salad, cucumber salad, lots of things rolled up in romain lettuce leaves (refried Beans, chicken chunks, tuna, cottage cheese), mozerella stick with sliced turkey rolled around it, scrambeled eggs with sliced turkey and cheese melted in it, Cereal and banana or other fruit...good luck...

I like to eat marinated meat. I buy perdue perfect portion chicken breat. They are individually wrapped, I throw the bag in the freezer and take one out at a time. I also like marinated lean pork loin. They come in a variety of flavors. You just bake it in the oven for about 30-49 minutes.

I eat low fat cheese sticks and almonds for Snacks. Also, berries and cottage cheese. Cottage cheese comes in snack packs with are just the right amount. Hope this helps, good luck.

For Breakfast I have one of these usually...

Breakfast Burrito: 1/4 c. egg substitute scrambled w/ 1 or 2 sliced of turkey bacon and 2 T. WW cheddar cheese in a low-carb Whole Wheat Tortilla

Mushroom & Swiss Scramble: 1/4 c. egg substitute scrambled w/ mushrooms (sauteed in 1 tsp butter substitute) and a little swiss cheese.< /p>

CarbMaster Yogurt w/ GrapeNuts

Well-toasted whole wheat english muffin w/ 2 T. Peanut Butter (when I'm on the go)

For lunch I really like...

tuna salad (made w/ fat free mayo) on Sandwich Thins

BLTA (turkey bacon, lettuce, Tomato, avocado) on well-toasted diet whole wheat bread.< /p>

Turkey Spinach Wraps: low-fat roasted turkey lunch meat, baby spinach, and 2 T. fat-free cream cheese (w/ green onions, 1 tsp. dijon, and diced red pepper mixed in) on low-carb whole wheat tortilla (these are great to make three at a time and refrigerate for the next couple days)

Egg salad (made w/ fat-free mayo) on well-toasted diet whole wheat bread.

dinner is usually a free-for-all of whatever I come up with...

Baked tilapia w/ dill, bbq-lemon meatloaf w/ asparagus and homemade baked sweet potato fries, baked spaghetti squash w/ a little marinara sauce... I'm still working on finding a good list of dinner-type meals.

I sometimes catch Dr Oz after work, one day and he said something thats kinda stuck in my mind......."There is no shame in eating what works for you even if you think its boring everybody else " I think its one of the best dieting tips ever.............

Tonight I had the most awesome meatball sandwich! Baked the meatballs on a broiler pan so the grease fell to the bottom. Then toasted a "thin" whole wheat bun, put on a few meatballs, some mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and it was great! Tasted like a subway meatball sandwich but a lot less calories!

I can't do Breakfast anymore so I put Protein mix in with my coffee. It is like a hot chocolate absolutely wonderful.

lunch I might have a frozen meal if I can't think of anything, egg salad, tunasalad, chicken I made in the oven with breadcrumbs and sprayed with cooking spray, turkey and cheese wrapped together(no bread)

dinner I do whatever I make for the family.

I have lots of other things I found in my travels that are good and have high Protein on my blog.

Check it out

I am in love with the Thomas Bagel Thins, 110 calories each, I cut it in half and have half for breakfast (it has to be toasted or it gets stuck) with a fried egg for a 145 calorie breakfast that keeps me full until lunch and then in the afternoon I have the other half, with a tbsp of Peanut Butter spread on it for a 149 calorie snack. (This tastes like candy and makes you feel like you just had a treat!):)

Wow! I am amazed at the different things people eat! I spend my entire day chasing my goal of 90 grams of Protein and 100 oz of Water in only three 4oz meals and a Protein Shake. How do you all get all that variety and still get your protein in?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
