I try to always have home made hummus or bean dip to eat with "Marys gone crackers" healthy crackers or rice cakes, rice cheese, brown rice with veggies and broth...

Beans, nuts, and Protein Shakes for Snacks -- if that's what you meant by 'during the day'. :)

Is Gardein the company that makes the fake stuffed chicken breast? I bought it once at Whole Foods and it was so good and I can't find it anymore!

Also, I like the fake chicken by Quorn. They have "grilled chicken", "chicken cutlets" aka breaded chicken, and I think one stuffed with Gruyere cheese.

I'm not 100% vegan/vegetarian, I just hate chicken!

I eat lots of Beans and nuts. I probably eat too much cheese.I do love a Boca since its 21 grams of Protein but I avoid most of the soy stuff because its loaded with estrogen (cancer for us girls, man boobs for the boys)...I start every day with the Cosco Premier Protein shake fr 160cals and 30 grams of protein...

cheese is my weakness too! High in Protein, but also saturated fat. :(

I tried the vegan life for a year though, and I'm not giving up cheese again! Just have to enjoy it 'in moderation'. :P

I do. I am not SUPER strict about it though. I estimate as best I can, but I have other things to do with my time, too, so... http://www.loseit.com/ is a huge help in this area. They have an enormous food database.

Honestly, I can't stand warm cheese...which is good, because if I could take it everywhere with me I would eat it way more than I should! ;)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
