Sally, I suggest that you sign up for My Fitness Pal. I'm on there as Lissa912 and I keep my food diary open to my friends to see. I'm a good bit further out than you, but you're welcome to look through there and see what I eat daily. I think that's a better indicator than just posting a daily menu, although I will give you and example of mine here.

Wake up: Mini Babybel Light cheese (I can't take Vitamins on an empty sleeve)

Breakfast: Either a Premier Protein bar or 1 egg with 1 sausage

Lunch: Protein and veggie (usually leftovers)

Dinner: stir fry made from a small steak, chicken breast or shrimp, with a few bites of veggies

Snack: If I'm hungry I'll have fruit or a skinny cow ice cream. I've been trying to make it fruit now.

Around half an hour before I work out, I'll have a banana or a mini thin Peanut Butter sandwich. This is a new add-on for me, but otherwise I dont have the energy to finish my half hour on the bike.

I'm 3 1/2 months post-op.

Breakfast: 8 oz. unsweetened vanilla almond milk with 1 scoop Isopure Dutch chocolate.

Mid-morning: 5 oz. Greek yogurt with 2 oz. berries. If I'm busy, I skip this and have a cup of coffee with 2% milk.

Lunch: 2 - 3 oz. of left-over dinner.

Dinner: 2 - 3 oz. Protein with a bit of veg.

Dessert: 1 Atkins bar.

My diet usually consists of this:

Breakfast - 1 EAS Advantedge Carb Controll Protein Drink

lunch - A low cal Lein Cuisine (usually with chicken for protein)

Mid afternoon snack - 1 Weight Watchers String cheese (mozzarella)

dinner - 4 oz Chicken Breast with teriyaki sauce

Works for me!

I'm almost a year out, and my advice is do what feels right for your body. At your stage, I couldn't eat much, either--bites, as you say, at a time. I never could get the hang of eating a "meal." My sleeve is too restrictive for that, really. Even now, I eat what I call "mini-meals" through the day. I do not low-carb; I do not calorie count. Because my sleeve is the way it is, that has worked for me--it may not work for a lot of people. And I might have had even better results if I did that kind of thing, but there ya go; my body, my decision. :-)

Sample mini-meals (I do NOT eat all of this in one day! I'll have maybe five mini-meals through the course of a day):

1. 1/2 a Protein bar.

2. 1/2 a whole-grain cookie (I'm thiamine deficient and these are physician recommended)

3. 3 or 4 boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce.

4. 1 c. salad--lettuce, tomato, cucumber, whatever, plus a vinaigrette-type dressing (sleeve can't tolerate mayo!) and 1 TBS feta cheese

5. A few bites of gyro meat dipped in hummus--this is a new food for me this month, as prior to this, my sleeve would not tolerate meat very well--and I'm almost a year out!!

6. A couple of crackers with cheese (brie, pimento cheese, cheddar, whatever we have handy) or hummus or Peanut Butter

7. Six corn chips made into nachos with very little cheese and a few jalapeno cubes--I usually put light sour cream on top to help with the moisture factor

8. Veggies! 1/4 c. to 1/2 c. of whatever I have in the fridge--currently roast brussels sprouts, roasted carrots, roasted beets, grilled asparagus, fresh tomatoes, sauteed chard. I tend to roast a batch and eat on them for a few days.

9. Frozen yogurt from Red Mango--I get a small bit, add some flax-seed granola, and enjoy.

10. Couple of tablespoons of nut/cranberry mix.

11. Soup! Still a favorite, especially when we go out. I try to aim for less fattening ones (vegetable beef) or something filling like chili instead of cream-based ones or potato Soup.

12. BelVita breakfast cookies--2 of the pack of 4 Cookies swirled into 1/2 a container of Greek yogurt--tastes like dessert and is actually healthy!

13. Fruit! 1/4 or 1/2 c of whatever I feel like having--usually citrus or melon, since I still have a serious citrus craving! I can't do apples, pineapple, banana, or mango (my sleeve hates them!), and strawberries are a hit or miss--sometimes they're fine, sometimes they're not.

14. 3 slices of bacon. Don't judge. LOL that's a meal.

That pretty much sums up my eating. Small, frequent meals of whatever my body is craving. The BIG DEAL is that now, because of my sleeve, I actually do listen to my body, and I cannot physically overeat--I've learned to stop when I'm not hungry any more as opposed to when I'm full--that's a HUGE DIFFERENCE, and it's all due to my sleeve.

OMG! Meg ~ you have done really great! Do you have any new pics for us? Would love to see the new you. You are a success. Congrats!

Keep in mind that bites are meals now. And sometimes you will be able to eat more bites than others.

Are you having a tough time breaking away from your mental concepts of what a meal is? That can be tough. With my band, I had to take a visual tactic and use saucers vs plates, baby spoons, etc. for the first few months.

My diet now won't help you (I'm lucky to eat 5 bites of food all day), but I was just talking to someone with a sleeve that I ran into at a supplement store. She is a year out and here's what she told me she typically eats:

Breakfast: 1 egg, 1/3 piece whole grain toast with butter spread.

AM snack: half Protein bar.

Lunch: About 1/2 C of cottage cheese/cucumber/tomato/tuna salad.

PM snack: small handful of nuts or half an apple, or a handful of grapes.

Dinner: 2 chicken tenderloins with a few bites of vegetable.

After dinner: Protein shake (for dessert), or half Protein Bar, or protein ice cream.

I'm almost 3 months PO. Here is today's food eaten slowly over the day. I don't have set, strict meal times. It works for me. I eat when I get hungry.

6 oz Greek yogurt with fruit - sometimes I have 3 oz of cottage cheese instead.

4 large strawberries on a bed of greens (arugula, radicchio, spinach, etc.)

2 oz. of quinoa with sauteed onions and peppers

4oz of chicken meatballs

2or 3 oz of cheese (today is swiss and baby bell light)

12 roasted almonds

For dinner I might have 3-4 oz of salmon and some broccoli.
