I'll be 2 months out on 2/15 and I try to think of what to eat I end up getting frustrated and fall back to eating the same things everyday. Especially when I'm at the store and calorie counting

Check out pinterest for some good ideas. For example, here is a link to my board where I post all recipes I like and have tried most of the ones that I am allowed. I will be 2 months 2/21 and am on stage there where I still can't eat Pasta, rice, beef or pork. Have fun and get creative!

I eat a lot of chicken, ground turkey burgers without the bun, lean steak, tuna, eggs, veggies- all kinds, fruit and I drink a daily protein shake. Occasionally I will eat turkey chili without beans. I'm not allowed peas, corn, potatoes, rice, pasta or any other refined carbs. Occasionally I can have whole grain carbs (max 2X a week) which may include steel cut oats, beans, quinoa, barley, etc. Also, I eat sugar free popcycles every night. It's my dessert! With the ground turkey, I add taco seasoning and make shell-less tacos. I also make chili. I eat roast, porkloin, and all other types of lean meat. I eat salmon, tilapia, and tons of grilled shrimp. I am 3 months out. With the exception of the no carbs, I eat quite a variety of foods.

Wow, thank for all the examples, I will put this to use immediately. I basically eat farina/cream of wheat in morning , a premier shake for snack , tuna or some eggs for lunch, Oykos zero yogurt for snack, and either flounder or chicken for dinner so that does get very old to me especially if I'm not good in the kitchen. Those sugar free ice pops are a life saver though LoL

There's a closed group on Facebook called Rock's Kitchen. He shows awesome recipes. Go on there and ask to join. He had WLS.

Would you be able to post the link to that Facebook group ?

How can I be added to the group?

I've been having success with my crockpot. I cook a whole chicken with carrots, turnips and onions, for example. Then I have chicken later for salads, etc. I'm not a huge chicken fan but it's so moist it falls apart. And it's no work at all.

I also make beef stew, without potatoes but with plenty of carrots onions and turnips again, and blend up some of the veggies to thicken the "gravy".

Taco pulled chicken, Soups...

I'm so glad I pulled the crockpot out of the cupboard! Hot healthy meals when I come home has helped me avoid bad choices from being too tired to cook.

Wonderwoman- great Pinterest board. Thank you!!
