How are you keeping track of what you are eating? I use myfitnesspal to make sure I stay on the right path. I also keep my FitBit on to make sure I am up and moving.

I'm just past 4 months. My fitnesspal is my recorder. I do a Protein Drink for Breakfast every morning. After that it's up in the air what I eat. I do have my main Protein supplements of tuna creations, baked tilapia, and canned chicken. They're always on hand and I eat a lot of them. I recently slowed down my weight loss but I know it was the choices and quantity of food I was eating. After I corrected my mistake I was loosing at my normal pace again. I'm now into store bought rotisserie turkey breast. I have them cut into steak size and it works out to about 3 oz each.

Canned chicken and tuna are great sources! I add a little bit of olive oil and get creative with salt-free seasonings. Yummy and satisfying. I usually pair with a 1/2 of serving of flatbread or crackers and some fruit or a greek yogurt. I am usually too full to even finish an entire meal.

For me on canned chicken I just drain the Water most of the time but I sometimes add zesty honey mustard into it. As for tuna Creations it's a bag StarKist product. I like the Sweet & Spicy flavor.

Sweet and spicy is one of my favs.

I also dig sushi sans rice.

Just like some of the other people. I keep track of everything with myfitnesspal. I also have a fitbit that I use daily. I try to get 100 + grams of Protein a day and keep my carbs under 40 grams a day.

A typical day for me is up and out the door at 6:30 with a Protein shake made with soymilk and a whey isolate ( prob around 30 grams a protein)

Breakfast is Protein pudding ( 1 box of SF pudding w 1 3/4 cup soy milk and 4 scoops of protein powder). I divide into 6 servings for 6 breakfasts (about 20 grams of protein)

lunch is usually 3 oz. of meat (chicken, turkey, a turkey sausage, or beef) with some kind of sauce and about 1/4 cup of either cottage cheese, edamame, or steamed green Beans

afternoon or post-workout is a Protein Shake this time with Water (about 25 grams of protein)

dinner is usually about the same as lunch, a different meat and sauce)

I am 5 months post op RNY and have lost 105 lbs. so far. I rarely eat out. I've made tons or recipes from Pinterest that I'll change a bit to suit my tastes. I've also cut out all sugar, wheat, Pasta, rice, potatoes, most high sugar fruits, flour, etc. from my diet. I don't miss any of those things at all!

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
