Hey guys

I will be two months out from surgery in about a week. I am very curious about what you guys are eating who are at the same point or what you WERE eating when you were two months out. Also, how much were you able to consume at 2 months post op? Thank you so much in advance for any replies. Thank you.

I had my gastric sleeve surgery Feb. 8 2012 in Mexico. I can only eat like 4 TBs. of food at a time. I can have a couple of crackers with a little peanut butter on them and a couple bites of applesauce. I've had alot of soup. I started eating some low fat refried beans with a few baked chips.Still need to drink a couple of protein shakes a day to try and get all my protein in.

I have lost 23 lbs. so far. I am 55 years old.

I'm two months out today and in a typical day I do two shakes (usually 23g Protein nectar brand with Water, 8-12oz). For actual meals, my doctor told me to try to stay around 2oz of any meat. I bought a small scale for $15 at Bed, Bath & Beyond and it is a lifesaver because eyeballing it was not working -- what I thought was 2oz was more like 1oz. I measure my Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and all meat. I'm eating lots of chicken breast meat, shrimp, fish, and some pork chop. With dinner I'll also try to get in 1-1.5oz of asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli, or other good carb veggie. I have found my sleeve CAN take more, but usually around 3oz of food I'm satiated and any more will make me uncomfortably full. That usually happens when I have Soups and the 2-3oz of broth takes up more room. My favorite is when I treat myself to two Day Boat Scallops (that's usually 2-3oz) -- so flavorful with no added sauces! I have to say that I've loved my sleeve when eating out with friends, it really keeps me away from snacking on appetizers and Desserts.

On occasion, I'll take in a tablespoon of natural Peanut Butter -- it's like a little treat! I can do some cheese, though I limit it due to constipation problems. My doctor recommended Metamucil wafers and they're like Cookies, cinnamon or apple flavored. Nice crunch, and 5g Fiber to boot! Whoo hoo!

I was sleeved Feb 6th. I've lost 23 lbs. Can hardly wait to get below 200! 2 lbs to go!

This is what ate today: Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg w/ big T. of cottage cheese; Lunch: Protein shake w/ 2 scopes of protein; Dinner: Chipotle Burrito Bowl, NO rice...just Beans, chicken, cheese and tomatoes. I scooped out 1/2 c. and ate that.

I'm 66 years old and haven't started exercising yet. I think I need to do that and get my metabolism going. I'm waiting for nicer weather. ( : I actually should have had a Protein Bar today. This really isn't enough protein. That's been my biggest problem.

Hi! I'm officially 2 months tomorrow. I am admittedly a terrible eater as far as eating every 3 hrs but I'm trying!! Here's what today looked like:

A.M. med sized iced 1/2 coffee 1/2 milk w/ sf hazelnut (my nut & surgeon ok'd caffeine...phew!!)

Snack 1/2 of a muscle milk light

lunch 1-2 oz of squid cheviche

Snack 10 almonds

dinner 2 oz of baked salmon & 2 small bites of cooked cabbage

Still to come....1/2 of a power crunch Protein bar.

I haven't started regularly excercising yet. I'm 36 & I'm down 47 lbs.

I feel compelled to add that I struggle with getting all my protein in still & am unable & unwilling to give up my coffee!! Most days.I.drink one shake & eat one protein bar but today I just haven't been hungry at all so I've forced everything I can in....I'm a puker unfortunately so I can't push too much or I am sick & miserable! I do drink water all day. I cannot stomach eggs & peanut butter sticks in my throat & I throw up which really sucks!!! I eat a ton of fish & seafood. Little to no chicken, beef, etc because I can't seem to get it down. I looooove seared ahi & eat it almost every other day, if not more often. It's my favorite! Smokes salmon, cream cheese & capers on whole wheat flat bread is my go-to lunch. Yum! I also eat Greek yogurt w/ berries a lot. Ok, done!!

I'm 7 wks out. B- 1 egg, pinch of cheese & asparagus. Snks- lite cheese stick. Lunch & Dinner are usually fish or shrimp. 2 oz meat & 2 oz veggie. I'm 43 & have lost 15 since surgery.
