Dinner - what do you eat?

I can't believe I'm 4.5 months out and still struggle with an appropriate dinner. It seems any meal I prepare makes me bubble up with gas and become nauseous. My breakfast is a shake. My lunch a yogurt. I can't seem to break old habit and eliminate "the dinner meal". Should I really have yogurt for dinner and walk away?

What specifically are you currently eating for dinner that is causing this?

Grilled chicken w salad. Turkey breast w low carb wrap. Steak w veggies.

Try without the veggies for a few days to see what happens. You are chewing, chewing, chewing?? I know, you probably are. Try just the protein for a few days and then slowly bring some veg back in. I still don't eat much lettuce for some reason. I do seem to be ok with green and red peppers and tomatoes. Keep in mind that I am just grasping at straws. Also talk with your surgeon and NUT.

My NUT has impossible office hours. Unfortunately, I've seen her only once. Work makes it very difficult

I have been on totally solid food since week 7 and have been specifically forbidden from mushy or liquid with any calories at all. I am not sure why some doctors differ with there programs, but solid food has helped me maintain fullness. I usually cook for my family and have whatever they eat, just smaller portions with small bites! Good luck!

That's interesting to hear no liquids. My program pushes a shake for one meaal replacement and high protein content.

I'm about 3 months out. My wife likes to go out. I order out of bad habits but only eat a few bites before I'm absolutely full. I just do a shake in the morning and at lunch also a shake.
