I'm 4 months out and I get hungry, make bad decisions, and need to get myself back on track. I'm human so I'm not going to punish myself so please no judgement or criticism. I just need to get a good cookbook or good recipe ideas. Can you help?

I hear lots of good things about eggface. http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

I don't eat a big variety of things and tend to eat the same thing day after day, but I've seen lots of recommendations for eggface's website. Tons of food ideas and recipes.

We are at exactly starting weight and height. And had surgery about one month apart. Just go completely back to protein first. Keep it simple. Less stress on yourself. Can you do eggs for breakfast? Grill chicken, grill or steam fish for lunch and dinners? I only recently started adding in veggies and romaine lettuce, and most days I only eat a few bites. I recently started enjoying homemade grilled cesar salad. I tale this with me in the car. I was concentrating so hard on my protein and my restriction kicks in pretty quickly. I also very recently added in a half apple most days. I so missed fruits and veggies. I still don't do any carbs except what I get in my two cups of skim milk a day. I don't snack, except for the half apple. I try to eat as soon as I get hungry, but will take almonds, hard boiled eggs and cheese with me if I have to be in my car for awhile. I ALWAYS leave the house with at least 4 cups of water. Try to I eep it simple and hang in there. Have you tried buying store made roasted chicken? Very convenient. Best

water.

Type "Recipe Frenzy" in the search bar. Bobbyswife put a post together that includes a collection of free, downloadable bariatric or weight loss cookbooks available online. They are great!

The previous responder that mentioned going back to the beginning of the post op diet, is correct. I wanted to lose 5 in a week in order to fit into a Christmas dress, so I just duplicated my first week post op diet. It worked! I actually lost 6 pounds! I think it is a good kick start to getting back on track again. Good luck!

You guys are awesome! Life savers actually.

Thanks
