How much food can you eat?

Hey...I was wondering if you recommend a certain brand of cottage cheese that tastes good? I am just not a fan of that stuff but maybe I tried the wrong kind. Or maybe you can give me a serving suggestion instead of eating it just plain?

Try adding a bit of sugar free Jello powder and a little fat free whipped topping to your cottage cheese. It becomes a tasty dessert :scared2:

I eat cottage cheese too.....I like it with peaches on top.I found I think it's Del monte makes pre-package low sugar or sugar free peaches in Syrup with only 25 calories they are very good.I think I'll try it with jam,that sounds good!!:scared2:

Hi Kat,

Something that helps me get in enough Protein is to include a Protein shake snack during the day (either mid-morning or mid-afternoon). Since I'm lazy, I just buy Myoplex Lite chocolate shakes. I get them at Walmart or BJ's (both at very good prices). They have 20 gm of Protein in 11 oz. I also try to target 60+ gms of protein per day.....I like fish, so eat a fair amount of that. Three oz of salmon has 17 gm of protein. I also like Greek yogurt--a 6 oz container of nonfat Fage (the brand) has 15 gm of protein. Since I don't much like cottage cheese, the Greek yogurt does more for me....I add fresh strawberries and some Splenda in the morning. I also make a tartar sauce out of it to go with the fish. Good luck!!

At my max restriction I can eat about 1/2 cup or the equivalent of a good start veggie pattie with a slice of cheese on it (thats what I just finished)

I cannot feel hunger pangs anymore I just feel weak when I need to eat so I would say its about 4-5 hours between meals.

Has anyone experienced blood when your food comes back up? I have days where I can eat like a normal person, then I have days where nothing stays down. The blood happened today, and it scared me. I have already called the doc.

I was actually just talking to someone on here who was having the same problem. She was intolerant to the band and had it removed. I was having issues where I was throwing up alot but then other days I could eat. I was advised to get an unfill. I had one Friday and it helped sooooo much. What did your doc say? Is he or she gonna take a look? It doesn't sound good.

Here's a typical day's food for me. I've been eating pretty much this amount everyday since my 1 year surgerversary. :-)
