I had cottage cheese and a roma Tomato with a small banana. I typically eat a Protein Bar twice for a morning and afternoon snack. For dinner usually some sort of chicken or fish and a fresh vegetable. I rarely eat more than 1100 calories a day but get in 70 to 85 grams of Protein a day. I have love over 175 pounds in about 10 months and I'm still losing. I feel great. Eat healthy no matter what you eat and please do yourself a favor and log your food. I use my fitness pal on my Iphone. That is really a key to success.

I just packed my first lunch since tomorrow I go back to work! I'm 4 weeks out so mine looks a little different. Tomorrow I'm going to drink a Protein Shake during my commute. For a snack I have 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese w/ 1 tbs of Protein Powder to add in. For lunch: 1 Light Baby Bell cheese and a hard-boiled egg. Sounds so boring, but I'll get to mix it up in 2 weeks when I graduate to regular food! :)

I'm a big fan of logging my food as well! Even at a year out, it's very helpful.

Has this just started? Would you mind telling us what you eat? You may want to check with your nutritionist and see if they can give you some advise. I only drink one cup of coffee a day and it takes care of me nicely but if you do drink coffee, perhas you could drink some Protein shook up on fresh coffee (I would recommend ice coffee) perhaps with some non fat milk to make it a mocha. The caffeine could possibly perk you up. Let us know how your doing ok?

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
