I need a good eating plan...I'm turning into a creature of habit...help!



Recommended Posts

I am hoping to get some ideas from all of you on what you are eating these days? I am 8 weeks post op today and find I am getting so bored with the same foods I keep eating. I lost quite a bit of weight in the beginning and now I am losing 1 - 2 lbs a week, which I am just fine with. But I wonder if I could lose more if I eat differently? Am I eating the wrong foods? I am very in tune with my body and once I start feeling an inkling of being full, I stop.

These are the things I tend to eat:

Yogurt (sometimes)

Cottage cheese (sometimes)

String Cheese (usually one a day or every other day)

tuna

Salmon

Sardines

chicken meatballs (a couple of times)

Soup

Deli meats

eggs

Protein Shake (here and there)

Rotisserie chicken (because it's moist, no skin)

Pringles 100 calorie pack (have had 2 since my doctor cleared me at week 5 for all foods) :blush:

Peanut Butter (maybe 2 tbs twice)

Shrimp

Sushi (doesn't agree with me right now) so sad about this... :(

And I think that's about. I love salad, but I haven't tried it because I am pretty scared of it getting stuck right now. I haven't eaten much vegetables either, because by the time I am done with the Protein I am pretty full. I kind of feel like a creature of habit at this point and feel I need some other suggestions.

Can you give me examples of what a typical day would be for you? Any information is appreciated!

Thank you everyone! :rolleyes:

Congratulations on your success! It looks like you need to spice things up with different sauces and spices!

You can eat similar foods with different spices and have completely different meals.

For example:

Cottage cheese + italian seasonings + garlic powder

Cottage cheese + Herbes de provence + tarragon

Cottage cheese + cumin + cilantro

chicken + italian seasonings + garlic + alfredo sauce

chicken + soy sauce + ginger + cilantro + PB2 + coconut milk

Chicken + low fat cheddar + low carb BBQ Sauce

Chicken + cumin + chilid powder + cilantro + hot sauce + low fat cheddar + low fat sour cream

eggs + tarragon + feta

eggs + cumin + chili powder + low fat cheddar + salsa

eggs + garlic powder + cottage cheese + pepper

I find that low carb recipes tend to work really well with the sleeve. Just keep the fat moderate along with the carbs. Sites like lowcarbfriends.com provide many great recipes that you can easily tweek for the sleeve. Also check out bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com for more great recipe ideas!

Best of luck to you!

I'm 6 weeks post op and have been making dinner this week. Monday Tilapia with Ponzu and squash with tomatoes. I also made shrimp with a side of pintos. 97% fat free ham with a side of navy Beans. Trying to up the Protein and get more veggies in. I am still cooking them mushy and have had no issue. good luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
