Are you looking for info on what people eat once they've reached their goal in order to maintain or are you looking for info on what people are eating right now? The second half of your post makes it sound like you are eager to see your surgeon so you can ask about what you should be eating at this stage in your journey.

At this point your surgeons' office should be filling you in on what it is they want you to eat. If you search, you will find a lot of suggestions on the forum.

I think the previous poster had it right. There's a bit of trouble understanding your sentances. Can you please say when you had surgery and what surgery, what you doing now in terms of eating, drinking, and exercise.

Its hard to help if we have no idea where you are in your journey and quite honestly, these surgeons' offices need to be taking responsibility for you if you are 2 months out.

I am 22 months out but not much has changed as far as what I eat. I can't eat early in the morning so my day starts with coffee, then Water, maybe a Protein shake. I have some egg salad around 9 and more Water -- I try to get in 33 oz before noon, another 33 before 5 and then whatever else I can shove in before bed time.

lunch could be anything from a Protein Shake to a Jimmy John's UNWICH (that's a sandwich, wrapped in lettuce instead of on a bun) or a salad (a couple of meals for me). My fave lunch is something called Bi Bim Bap-- it's like a korean stir fry (no rice)- so stir fried meat, fresh veggies and a sesame kinda sauce. I have the sauce on the side. Normally I grab a salad and have the cafe cook me a chicken breast. That can be two meals for me, sometimes I finish it in the afternoon for a snack. You can also pick up pre-cooked chicken breasts or steak strips to warm up and munch on. I like to stick a couple of those in the microwave with a wedge of laughing cow, lite or chipotle cheese. YUM. O.

Lately my lunch has been tuna salad with a hardboiled egg diced in. I am not a huge snacker, really. I have nuts, Protein shakes, cheese, hardboiled eggs... I make sure I have plenty of Protein rich options in case I get snacky. I might have a cup of coffee around 3:30.

I work out around 5:30 or 6. I don't' eat before I work out but I do use an energy booster.

dinner is always something light and high in protein. I DO NOT COOK so if I am eating dinner I pick it up from someplace-- grilled chicken from the grocer or KFC, side of green Beans or a side salad works fine. Taco Bell, I grab a burrito and a container of pintos and cheese, then when I get home, dump the burrito into a bowl and mix in some of those Beans, sprinkle some cheese on top. That's another couple of meals for me because I still can't eat a lot of food at one time. Hardees/ Carl's Jr/ Wendy's/ Five guys all make a lowcarb burger. ANy sandwich shop will make a sandwich a salad.

I try to be done eating by 8, but again if I need something, I have babybel cheese, some cheddar sticks, etc etc etc.

For food and recipe ideas, I love The World According to Eggface. I love any dish she makes in a muffin tin... it's the perfect size, yummy and packed with protein.

LOTS of options, tons of stuff we can eat. I just can't be bothered to cook and I am not an exciting eater but there is a typical day for me.

Are you tracking your food in something like MyFitnessPal or SparkPeople so you can know exactly how much Protein you are getting?

I'm not as far out as you and only was allowed to start eating solids yesterday, but here are some of the things I've been eating:

Breakfast: Protein shake or Protein Bar (just had my first Protein Bar yesterday)

Lunch: Half a Small Wendy's Chili or tuna salad or a Scrambled Egg w/ 1/2 oz. of Reduced Fat cheese

Protein Snacks: Lowfat Cottage cheese or Reduced Fat String Cheese or Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt

Carb Snacks: 1/2 Whole Wheat Mini Pita with a TBSP of Hummus or 3/4 Small Apple with TBSP of Peanut Butter

You look great! I had surgery 9/8. I M not suppose to eat any crackers, bread, Pasta etc. be sure you are getting at least 60 grams of Protein. And at least 64 oz of Water. If I have not gotten at least 40 g of Protein by mid afternoon I have a protein shake for a snack. The "hunger"could be acid sonic your dr doesn't have you on a prescription for acid try over the counter Prilosec or chew a couple of tums when it starts. I do get hungry at times just remember to eat protein if you do get hungry. It fills you up faster and lasts longer.

As for your dr, I would call them Monday. If you can't get your appt moved ask for his nurse and discuss the situation her. Good luck!

They have all the ingredients and nutritional info listed on their web site. I was cleared to eat cooked veggies, ground meats, and legumes (beans) at 28 days post op. I haven't had any issues with it. I obviously don't eat the crackers they give me. I'm not allowed to have crunchy or crispy things until three months post-op. Also, I was told to avoid non-whole-grain carbs, so saltines aren't ideal, even once I am allowed to eat crackers.

Did you meet with a nutritionist before your surgery? Didn't they give you information about what you should eat?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
