I just read a post from someone who said it was crazy to see someone post, "I don't know what to eat"... but yet that is the most important daily thing and being less than 3 weeks post op, the thing I'm struggling with the most. Yes, I did get a ditto from the doc with a list of foods - all low fat and no sugar: cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, eggs, tuna, baked fish, ground meats, refried Beans and then it includes things like cereals, crisp toast, rice,baked potato, bananas, watermelon and cantaloupe.

So, I get that I am allowed to eat the above list, what I want to know is - for those of you who are losing weight - what are y'all eating?

I'll go first...

Today I had sauteed spinach and fresh salsa - I spray the pan with bakers joy and the salsa is tomato & onion in the clear container found in the deli - not jarred, then cracked two eggs and cooked for 2-3 minutes so the egg is cooked but the yolk makes a sauce, it's very good and I've been having this daily for the most part.

For lunch I had tuna made with celery and a little light mayo and greek yogurt and Dijon and a dab of Franks hot sauce - I had about 4 oz total

For dinner I'll have salmon and broccoli and in between I will have a 30 grm chocolate Protein drink with 5 grms of carbs - no sugar.

I'll eat about 1/2 cup of SF Jello and one SF Jello pudding.

That's my day... please critique critique critique but more important post what you ate yesterday (or today if you know )

THANKS!

I don't think so! Id just make sure you aren't eating chocolate and fro yo everyday (which you probly don't!)

I eat something different for each meal almost every day except breakfast. I've learned that if I choose the same stuff over and over I just feel like this will be another diet. Since I have an empty band right now I focus on Protein protein protein to keep me full and to prevent snacking.

Average day for me:

Breakfast: GNC total lean shake

Lunch: 6 chicken meatballs (they're small!) and 1 cup of kale chips (homemade)

Dinner: Spinach dijon salad bowl + 3 oz of chopped chicken breast

Snack/Desert: Dole dippers (If you haven't heard of them look them up online... Delicious!!)

10 cups of Water

30-45 min of cardio exercise

Total around 950 calories

I do eat one chocolate square pretty much everyday. The froyo is a maybe once a month treat. :-)
