right now I do greek yogurt in the morning, protein shake as a snack, I usually do a left over from the night prior usually chicken or fish and a veggie of some sort, then make a new similar dish for dinner. I also thought about picking up a decent protein bar for when I'm on the go, but not quite there yet.

I'm 4 weeks out so I cook every day mostly egg and cheese, chicken make protein shakes and crystal lite and water. Today I made taco bowls for the family but for me I use the Ramekin bowl and had refried beans

Small bite ground beef not much shredded cheese and a little cottage cheese. I can only eat a good 5 bites. This is an early dinner.

Are you pre op or sleeve and how far

How far out from surgery are you?

I just started my 10th week. Today my meals look like....

Pre-workout Protein shake

Gym

Post workout protein shake

1/2cup brown rice with 4oz of grilled salmon

4oz grilled top sirloin with grilled asparagus

4oz grilled lamp chop loin with steamed broccoli

Normally include some snakes in between but today with the above meals I am maxing out my allowed calories so no Snacks today.

The above meals and shakes total 1031calories, 147g protein, 42g carbs, 22g fat.

Hows ur weight loss

Since surgery day I have lost 53 pounds... hit 51 pound loss at my 2 month mark. I do really make sure I watch my macros every day and make sure to get well over 100g of protein and 120oz of water. I drink around 64oz of water just during my workout. I have been lifting weights 6 days a week and cardio 7 days a week since I was 3 weeks out. I have been in a stall the last week though It will be my 3rd stall in just under 10 weeks. I do eat close to 50g of carbs a day, sometimes more, but make sure the bulk of those carbs are eaten during my post workout meal.

Ok sorry I should have explained. I am 10 weeks out 53lbs lost as of Monday and I'm on a 600-700 calorie diet. I don't eat beef or pork and I eat just 2 ounces of food around meal time. I am having a hard time with Protein and I've tried Protein Bars but I can't finish them. I need serious help this whole eating situation really depresses me.. Any suggestions??

OK, protein bars keep. It would easily take me two hours to finish one. Also, Turkey Jerky from Trader Joes was awesome. Great protein and wonderful flavor. Something with texture to "chew" on, too. Squeezy yogurts, too, work great. Do you have access to a microwave? I made different soups and froze them in jam jars. Pulled them out on my way to work. Put your yogurt in there, too and you're all set.

I usually have a 30g protein shake in the morning before work, then around 10am greek yogurt (with fruit) I'm not a fan of plain yogurt. For lunch about 1 1/2 oz of chicken/fish with a veggie (broccoli, broccoli rabe, string beans) or turkey breast and cheese rolled up together. I have another protein shake around 2-3pm.

For dinner I have chicken/broiled fish/shrimp and a green veggie. I limit my carb intake to under 50 grams per day.

These sound like great ideas! I need to start preparing ahead of time and take a trip to the grocery story. Thanks guys for responding so quickly.. So helpful!! And congrats on all the weight loss. Thanks! -Crystal
