Breakfast: 1 babybel cheese

snack: 6oz of 1% milk mixed with 4oz of protien drink

lunch: 14 turkey pepperoni slices

snack: small iced latte with skim milk

dinner: tuna salad with light miracle whip. (1/4 cup)

snack: natural popsicle

Hi!

Everyone is so very different, and each of us follow different plans and doctor recommendations.

For me... I cannot eat in the morning so I still do a protien shake. It is low carb, low calories and 17 grms protien. I have one every morning. Mid morning I eat an Atkins bar, you need to read lables, but typically they are low carb, good protien. lunch I have 1/4 cup of fat free cottage cheese and 1/4 cup of protien meat (chicken, turkey, imitation seafood)

afternoon snack I eat beef jerkey or unsalted roasted peanuts. dinner varies..always a serving of protien, sometimes more, sometimes not. Sometimes I will eat a sugar free popcycle or fudgecycle at nite if I have a snack craving.

Sometimes I eat out, Taco Bell pintos & cheese, add meat!!! Wendy's small chilli add cheese, McDonalds chicken ceasar salad and I only eat the meat & cheese,,, a couple bites of lettuce. The larger chain places, Ruby Tuesday, TGI Fridays, Applebees, -- all have specialty salads, I typically order a chefs salad and eat the meat, cheese and egg first.. not very hungry after that! Or a Grilled chicken ceasar salad is great!

I am one month out also and on my last week of soft food: I typically eat:

Breakfast --- most of one scrambled egg

Snack--- half a protein bar (small one) They are kinda dense and I cant eat more than that.

Lunch--- tuna salad ~ maybe 2oz I had leftover roast and leftover dark meat chicken other days this week

Snack--- other half of protein bar One day I had greek yogurt about 5 oz-- took me an hour to eat it all.

Dinner-- baked Talapia ~ maybe 2oz-- I had roast beef one night and dark meat chicken another

after dinner last night I tried 8 oz of milk--did fine

I am really interested in what other people eat too.. I want ideas!

It varies from person to person, but I am 4 months out and I typically eat the following:

Breakfast I will have a scrambled egg, I can eat almost a whole one if it is plain, but if there is cheese on it, I can only do 1/2. If I have a couple strawberries or some other fruit, I am only eating 1/2 of that egg too. If I have boiled eggs, I can eat 1 1/2 of those. I eat meat sometimes 2 oz is my max of any dense meat.

lunch I eat maily meat, again 2 oz and I am done! I usually only eat the dense Protein at luch time. I like tuna, salmon, foster farms meat balls, turkey burgers, hamburgers, tri-tip, any steak, chicken (that is what I had today), meatloaf, pot roast, grilled sausages, etc. I try to stay away from luchmeat as it is softer (not as dense) and has a lot of salt in it.

dinner again more dense meat, but try to eat 1-1 1/2 oz to save a bite or two for some veggies, this is about the only time of day I eat them and usually only a few times a week, so I try to save room. I just take a bite or two of hubbys potatoe, green Beans or salad. It doesn't pay for me to make my own! LOL

Snacks I like beef Jerky, peanuts, almonds, greek yogurt, Pure Protein Bars, more dense meat, cheese, fruit sometimes, granola thins from nature valley are yummy. I try not to snack too much, but have to some days to get my caloires up because I can eat so little most days.

Hope this helps you.

I've heard you can have SF popsicles & SF jello after WLS - is this unlimited? Are there other items similar, unlimited.
