Nearing my 6 month mark (May 1). Anything else different you'd be eating? Here's where I am at today. For dinner I'll be having a Turkey burger patty with a slice of cheese and some green beans or mashed cauli, putting me at around 800 cals and 85g protein (the Turkey burger has 23g alone). I don't feel comfortable adding in more carbs yet =/ Carbs scare me since they were my vice. I exercise regularly and intensely 3 times a week.

PS. No I didn't eat a "stick" of garlic. lolol. It was a beef and chicken stick.

I think my trainer and nutritionist both want me to eat more carbs and more calories but I get full! I also get sicky easily so it's a fine line.

This is mine for comparison:

cottage cheese is life!

I ended the day at 91g protein, 825 calories, 48g carbs.

Mousecat88 my diet is very similar, I'm 6.5 months out. The first couple of mouthfuls I eat each meal cause discomfort, and I can't eat more than about a quarter to a third of a cup. I try and eat 5-6 times a day plus a cup of low fat milk with my coffees. I get nausea quite easily and lots of foods just won't 'go in', like rice, pasta, most meat (chicken is ok). My surgeon mentioned dilating my sleeve but heck no!! I've started adding in 3-4 small water crackers with some cheese, and oats with blueberries. I've increased my carbs as I train heavily most days, sometimes twice a day (weight lifting and trail running) so am burning a lot of what I eat and I struggle to get protein in. I've started eating haloumi cheese (good protein) with a cooked tomato on the side, and nuts and seeds. I can't tolerate protein powder or drinks at all. Is a lot of trial and error but is totally worth it, I'm so pleased with my weight loss ??
