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.

kelly ;)

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

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
