1 Year Post Op - What are you eating?

[YandereAngel 3]

I'm just curious to see what other people's diets are like. I've been careless lately and I've decided to motivate myself! So I wanna see what other people do for each meal to get good ideas! c:

Also, if you have any good recipes to make Protein Shakes taste amazing, feel free to share! I've added about two spoonfuls of low fat ice cream and that helps a lot! I'm super picky so I'd really appreciate more ideas of how to make the shakes enjoyable. c:

I've lost about 100 pounds c: I still need another 100 to get to my goal! I hope you all are doing great progress too!

My surgeon tells me I should still be taking 2 shakes a day. So I've just been following that. 😄

That's a great idea! Thanks! I'll take a look at all of those!

I was very stringent for the first couple months.. then started to allow myself to experiment with different less healthy stuff which in turn kind of had me off track for a few months.. didnt stop losing.. but I went into my dr last Thursday and they said I wasnt fully meeting expectations.. which I sort of knew.. but didnt want to admit it..

after the appointment I've made a drastic change back to a pretty low carb low calorie diet somewhere around 1000 -1300 calories a day.. and cutting out all of the junk foods I was eating.. it's only been 5 days since then but I've seen good results so far.. down 8 1/2 lbs since last Thursday give or take. Oh.. I had surgery on the 22nd of October of last year so it's been almost six months.

Highest weight : 496
Surgery weight : 476
Current weight : 381

I'm kinda curious what type of Protein Shakes you're drinking that would even need the ice cream added to it. Thats a new one I haven't seen people doing. Like Premier Protein already tastes like melted ice cream to me. I hope the low fat ice cream is also a low sugar/high Protein One (like Halo Top) otherwise you're just adding unnecessary calories.

My Breakfast is either eggs or Oikos Triple Zero yogurt. lunch is usually a P3 and raw veggies with hummus or a dip made from greek yogurt. I'll have a Quest Protein Bar in the afternoon as a snack. dinner is lean meat like chicken or ground turkey. Before bed I usually have a rice cake with PB2.

Apples have been like my favorite thing recently.. for the last week or so I've eaten like 2 a day as Snacks.

Oh and I've found the premade Cookies and cream muscle milk 14 oz 160 cals 25 g Protein are actually quite tasty.. the one I got pre surgery and drank for the first week sadly still makes me gag.. Orgain creamy chocolate yuck.

Yeah, I don't know that adding ice cream to your Protein Shakes is a good way to help you lose weight. I use the Low/Zero Carb Isopure Protein, and I add a packet of stevia to each scoop to help with the flavor, and I drink it ice cold. I like it that way.

Breakfast - 1 egg and a few bacon

lunch - grilled chicken breast with a slice of cheese and light mayo

snack - Protein Shake

dinner - 1 slice of Ezekiel bread, 1 egg, cheese

Snack - if hungry, I'll have sugar free Jello

I also eat 1-2 pieces of dark chocolate a day - I'm not giving that up lol
