Maybe this will be helpful, I know I am interested!

I am 3 1/2 months post-op

Breakfast- same as every day, coffee with heavy cream and most of a Slim Fast shake. I can't manage solids in the am

Lunch- Artichoke, boiled until it's really soft with mayonaise, I aslo had some Beano drops. 3 thin slices dry salami

Dinner- going out, will have home smoked salmon from the starter menu, it comes with garlic aioli and toast points. I usually only have one of the toast points. While husband and children are having salads and starters I will enjoy 2 glasses of wine. I will also eat one bite of dessert if someone orders one.

Tonight- most likely a scoop of lime sorbet, I have it almost every night.

Slimfast + protein powder shake for breakfast. Refried beans and a bit of salsa + cheese for lunch. Snack was a bit of cheese and a couple of wheat thins. I may get brave and try some pureed chili for dinner. Beef scares me but I guess I've got to try it sooner or later.

Bacon and eggs for breakfast, we often do that on Sunday morning. And 3 brewed coffees.

I was just banded a day and half ago, so I've had some baby food and soup.:hungry:

yogurt, sf jello, broth, water, juice. That's my day in a nutshell and will be for two weeks since I'm only 4 days post op.

Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg w/ shredded low-fat cheese 1/2 slice whole wheat toast (I probably left 3 bites of egg and 2 bites of toast)

Lunch: pepper chicken and broccoli about 1 cup total

Snack: trail mix with raisins/cashews/peanuts and dried pineapple (ate more than I should have!)

Dinner: 4 oz. broiled whitefish, 1/2 cup carrots

just 10 days post op -

B: 3/4 c cream of wheat w/ butter

L: 2 scrambled eggs

S: 1/2 of a lite-n-fit yogurt smoothie

D: 3 oz snapper, 1/2 c crawfish bisque, a few bites of loaded baked potato (and MAN did that taste GOOD)

This was my first day off clear liquids--I had homemade egg custard for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Yummy! Gee, if I had remembered how easy it is to make, I would have been eating this all along (probably all 6 servings in one sitting, though...:mad: ).

Yesterday...

I had an Atkins shake for breakfast and lunch, Dannon Activia yogurt and 1oz veggie chips for my Snacks. Crystal light throughout the day.

dinner - ate at a restaurant for the first time since being banded. Had a 2 small forkfulls of mac - n cheese, 2 forkfulls of crab and spinach dip, the inside of a crabcake, a few peas. May sound like a lot but it really wasn't. Had all the variety without overstuffing myself!!
