I eat cheese sticks, eggs, oatmeal, cream of wheat, Special K Protein, protein bars, cottage cheese, Jello, pudding, grilled chicken, green Beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, Lima beans, black bean Soup, lentil soup, chic peas, refrained beans, cheddar cheese, Laughing Cow cheese, pumpkin custard, egg custard, greek yogurt Protein Drinks. I have trouble with meats. My stomach doesn't like them. I'm 8 weeks out. I wrote out a 14 day menu and change each day. Easy. Hope this helps.

I wanted to ditch the shakes and also am a bit lactose intolerant, so I eat lots of meats. Deli meat, turkey Jerky, for Breakfast a skinny English muffin w cheese and sausage, pork tenderloin, chicken, taco meat, steak.

I do Greek yogurt, Protein bars, some fruits and veggies and whatever the family is having for dinner. Tonight I had a small piece of pepperoni pizza.

Can't wait til I can tolerate more cheeses, they are great easy Protein.< /p>

The only thing I haven't tried is steak, broccoli, bread and rice. Otherwise I eat what I want but I do avoid most mindless carbs. :)

Hi! I'm also 8 weeks out and have noticed that meat does not sit well with my tummy either. No matter how small the piece, how much sauce is on it or how many times I chew it goes down like a brick and just sits there. So uncomfortable!

I've heard that may change later on. I'm not really worried about it. chicken is basically the only meat I've eaten for many years. (or Hamburger in a casserole. )

Hi, I'm 3 months out and actually there isn't anything on the approved list the NUT gave me that I can't eat. I can eat steak, chicken, roast pork, turkey and seafood, fish. I don't eat many carbs because they are not on the approved diet list I was given, I can eat all veggies and fruit, even salad.< /p>

That's great!! I'm eating Protein and veggies hoping to get a quicker weight loss. Not really working! Faxing my menu to my dr tomorrow to see if they have some suggestions.

I was eating salad at week 8 for sure. The thing is thou you have to get the Protein in while you enjoy the salad. Salad will fill you up real fast so make sure you get plenty of protein in while you enjoy it. Don't eat anything real fibrous like broccoli. Otherwise enjoy it! :)

I had a slice of pizza for the first time in 10 weeks. It was heaven. Ate everything except the crust. Filled my pouch up perfectly, this could be a slippery slope for me.

I kind of reverted back to my pre op diet, I am doing a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch and fish for dinner.

12g carbs

100g Protein

I don't really measure. I just eat non-fried Protein first (usually chicken, sometimes beef pork or turkey), then a cooked veggie (green Beans carrots, never corn :-(. And then I sometimes eat a bit of mashed sweet potatoes or something. It's whatever my family is eating, just much smaller portions. Using a smaller plate really helps. It took a little while to learn how much to eat. For a while i as just filling up on Protein.

I too have eaten a slice of pizza once or twice. But instead of pepperoni and black olives...times 3 or 4. I eat one slice of chicken pizza. Yum! I'm still scared to add some new things. I've heard bad things about salads too soon...working up the courage. Good luck to all!!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
