I'm still pre-op but my diet is mostly meat veggies and dairy. Some starches if I've eaten all my Protein for the day

I developed celiac disease and lactose intolerance post sleeve, so now I'm pretty paleo. I eat an egg and apple slices for Breakfast and lunch, an ounce of almonds for Snacks, and for dinner some homemade grilled chicken or beef and grilled veggies. No food after 8pm. Black coffee or almond milk lattes if I drink something other than Water. If I really crave something sweet I may have a banana, or berries. Every once in awhile I'll have 100% dark unsweetened bakers cocoa which was quite the adjustment for me. I don't eat any processed foods and I try to only cook for myself.

I do a low-ish carb diet. I have meat and/or eggs and green vegetables at virtually every meal. I do moderate dairy: yogurt, whey Protein powder, grass-fed butter, and occasionally small amounts of cheese. I eat fruit and nuts as Snacks (in addition to Jerky and more green veggies). Excluded: grains, starchy veggies, dairy milk, alcohol, Beans and legumes, and sweets.

I make rare exceptions on special occasions, but they really are rare. This particular plan works well for me because if I eat sweets or other carby foods my cravings go absolutely insane. This diet keeps them in check.

This sounds very much like what I plan on doing.

I do high Protein, moderately low-carb (*not* ultra low-carb). Sort of like a South Beach thing. Or a Mediterranean diet without the bread, rice and Pasta.

I follow a lower carb diet, around or under 50 carbs a day. I try to avoid most sugar and grains. My last time I successfully lost weight I followed whole 30/paleo. I will probably go back there. Except I still rely on Protein Shakes, so I need a bit of dairy. Although, I never feel like I'm "on a diet" anymore. Heavy cardio and weight days I can eat a bit more carbs.

I have a milk intolerance and I'm allergic to wheat so.... I use a pea/cranberry Protein from Arbonne that is soooo good and carries 20 grams of Vegan protein per serving . They also have a flavor free Vegan protein that I add to shakes and Soups as needed. Instead of milk I love the Silk Protein Nut Milk - it has 10 grams of protein per serving and it works well for me. This isn't an Arbonne commerical, however, they have these things called Fit Chews that are low in sugar and taste great. I enjoy the lemon ones the most. They are good for when I need a little something sweet.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
