Hi Im 8 months post-op and looking for some new ideas. Any help is appreciated!

My diet revolves around black beans, lentils, pork loin, chicken breast, ground turkey meat, Brussel sprouts, yellow squash and as of yesterday - spaghetti squash. When they're available, I like oranges, pineapple, apples, and grapes. My dad's satsuma tree produces in the winter, right now I'm snacking on them. I tend to avoid anything that is processed or really limit my intake of it.

I am into greens right now, collards, kale, mustard greens. Sauteed with olive oil and garlic, or roasted, or cooked down in a pot with some ham or bacon. Yummy.

My staples include low fat ham, rotisserie chicken, fresh veggies and fruit, whatever fish strikes my fancy that week, soy milk, Greek yogurt, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, beans, low cal whole grain crackers, frozen fruit and veggies, and low fat cheeses.

Mine is dannon Greek light&fit yogurt, sugar free water flavorings, waters, Braums skim milk, eggs, cheeses, turkey bacon, jerky, cottage cheese, sugar free pudding mixes, chai spice hot tea bags, tilapia, veggies, fruit, chicken, tuna fish, sugar substitute, great northern beans, ham, refried beans

Which low cal whole grain crackers do you get?

I like the Special K whole grain crackers, Ry-Krisp, and Dr. Kracker pumpkin Seed and Cheddar crackers. I eat them with Protein such as a low fat cheese so they make a filling nutritious snack. It's a fine line. I have to like them, but not so much that they constantly call "eat me!" Foods that constantly call " eat me" do not get to come home with me.

Protein sources; Low fat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, string cheese, stuffed chicken breasts, chicken sausage, Quest bars. A small amount of fruit: no sugar added apple sauce, apple chips. Lots of veggies: kale, shredded cabbage, salad mix, carrots, sprouts. Low cal beverage: high protein milk, torani syrup, water enhancers, and diet lemonade. Carbs: fingerling potatoes, sweet potatoes, Kim's magic pop, high fiber tortillas.

I don't eat meat but put the hurt on some seafood. I eat salmon almost everday a lot of flounder, mahi and shrimp. Tuna on occasion but try not too often for all the heavy metals. Gardien's vegetarian chicken is my new fave thing lately. Blood oranges, cuties, kiwis, gala apples and pine apple. Broccoli, spinach and lots of legumes.

My list usually looks like this: Almonds, peanut butter, almond butter, beef jerky, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, baby bel, lean beef, turkey brat, turkey, salmon, oatmeal, protein bar, carrots, green beans, bananas, red pears, apples, sf jello, hot chocolate and lite cool whip.
