Still Feel Like I Am On A Diet! Gerrrrrr

[PdxMan 4,292]

Healthy and as natural as possible, IMO. Your stomach is the mechanical part of digestion and it has undergone trauma. Let's not test it by giving it processed, difficult to handle foods.

I ate a lot of baked fish (Tillapia baked in butter with sprinkles of parmesan cheese)

Chili (Still eat a lot of that for lunch)

Salads with tuna, blue cheese crumbles and honey mustard dressing. (Nothing low cal or low fat)

Have you been to eggface's blog?

I, like you, needed bold flavors coming off 2 months of blah. Blue cheese and parmesan cheese provided that along with chili. Sharp cheddar cheese was also a mainstay in my diet, too.

But, of course, everything in small amounts. Stop when you begin to feel the restriction.

I refuse to live like I am on a diet, I've refused from day 1, I don't count carbs, calories, Protein, nothing. Whatever I cook for the family, I eat. Like if I make spaghetti and meatballs, I eat a couple of noodles but fill up on meatballs.

Last night we had chicken and Rice Casserole, I ate more of the chicken than anything. Tonight is chicken and stuffing, again I will fill up on the chicken part of it

Generally the meals I make are higher Protein anyways now, I feel it's healthier for everyone in the family.

I know for me, I did this surgery to get healthy and be "normal". Living like I'm on a diet is not normal in my book so I won't do it and it has worked well for me.

Thanks for all of the great info everyone. I'm almost 3 weeks out and am getting used to this new way of eating.

I just started walking again with my nike+ chip. If you have a ipod or iphone you can get the nike+ chip kit at most sporting good stores (I got mine at d**k's Sporting Goods). It is good motivation and they have a C25K program on it as well.

If any of you are on it already friend me - my id is Renee, Ph.D.
