I'm 2.25 years out and 2 pounds above goal. BREAKFAST: 80-Calorie yogurt Atkins Protein bar Apple 6 shots of espresso lunch 4 Oz crabmeat with 1 tablespoon low calorie mayo 100 grams chick pea salad 3 Oz plain potato (spray butter) 8 Oz fresh melon 2 shots espresso dinner Miso Soup Salmon sashimi Salmon sushi roll

19 months out, and this was yesterday: Breakfast coffee with splash of almond milk and stevia 1/3 cup of steel cut oats with splash of almond milk and stevia Mid morning/post workout snack Greek yogurt lunch Smoked salmon dip with nut crackers and carrot sticks Mid afternoon snack Apple Coffee dinner Chipotle salmon and mixed veggies at our favorite restaurant for my husbands birthday (didn't even eat half) Had a little of my hubby's crab, too. It was a seafood kind of day! Even though it was hubby's birthday,we didn't have any cake or dessert because we were satisfied with dinner. There's a first time for everything I guess!

I am amazed people eat the topping off pizza, and not the whole piece of pizza. I have ordered it without cheese before and added my own vegan cheese at home, but I need the crust! Yesterday: Breakfast:coffee with half and half and a Quest bar MS: More coffee with Half and Half Lunch: NOTHING appealed to me! So I ate an 80 calorie Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt Afternoon snack: I didn't eat lunch, so my bloodsugar was plummeting. Another quest bar. Dinner: Udi's gluten free tortilla with 2 slices of Daiya (vegan) cheese, 1 serving Chobani yogurt ES: 1 cup grapes, 2 oz. cheedar cheese curds This is not evidence of my best eating day, but it is honest. I need more fruit/veggies and more Water. (I think I made it to 40 oz. yesterday, not including the coffee, of course...) Onward!

I was the exact same way! My doctor didn't put me one a specific amount of purred, he just said you can start eating yogurt and such. I measured it out to make sure I was eating no more than 4 ounces because thats what my nut said.

I also had acid reflux and I followed my surgeon's advice and had an RNY the end of June 2015. I haven't had one instance of heartburn since surgery! I was 9 months out when I left for an extended stay in central Mexico. I stayed with my family. No fancy resort. I supplemented my Protein with Protein powder from GNC.I ate real food. Nothing processed. I ate what they ate for the most part. Beans, fresh veggies and fruits, yogurt and probably a few too many tortillas. Other than that. It wasn't hard. I watched the carbs, made sure I had enough Proteins and drank plenty of bottled Water. I had a wonderful time. I made sure I took all my Vitamins and meds in their original bottles, and took them in clear plastic baggies in my carry on bag. I was in Mexico for a little over a month and will be going back soon. I lost 13 lbs. while I was there. I ate great healthy natural foods in small portions. I did a lot of walking and sightseeing too. I enjoyed it like I never could have when I was 120 pounds heavier. And when I got back home.. I was in one-der-land!! YAY!!

2 years 3 months out. Maintaining 10 pounds below goal. I don't measure or track anything, (except fluids cause I know how big my mugs are and the sizes of bottles) but I'll do my best.... Couple spoonfuls of full fat cottage cheese with my Vitamins this morning Natures Valley Protein bar 1 beef stick Couple small handfuls of pumpkin seeds 2 pieces of Tombstone 4 meat pizza (toppings only...dog got the crust) Couple forkfuls of seaweed salad 1/3 apple Small cup of chili with mozzarella cheese raw broccoli and cauliflower with ranch dressing Plain Greek yogurt with 1/2 scoop Protein powder, ground flax seed and blueberries 20oz rooibos tea with 1/2 and 1/2 20oz Vitamin Water 16oz protein hot chocolate 12oz decaf chai tea 32oz water with a scoop of Syntrax nectar peach

Hi all, This topic is for vets (more than one year out, bonus points for every extra year!) to post what they are eating today. I'll start. I'm almost 5 years out and I'm battling a 20 lb. weight regain. I've joined Weight Watchers and am following their new plan, which is more protein-centric than in the past. Here's my day: B: 2 Jimmy Dean low-fat Turkey Sausage Patties and 1/3 c. oatmeal, cooked with 1 cup Water and a little splenda and salt L: Spinach and cheese Flatbread from costco (240 calories) and 1.5 oz. turkey lunchmeat S: 100 calorie bag of popcorn and two small tangerines D: 3 oz. low fat ground beef (we grind our own) on a WW sandwich thin with 1 c. homemade tomato Soup (low sugar canned pureed tomatoes, basil, a little salt and water) S: not sure I'll have one but planning on 3/4 c. plain fat-free greek yogurt topped with 1/3 c. frozen berries

I wish I would have not stocked up on too much broth, yogurt, etc before surgery. Get enough for a week, but realize your taste buds change.

I'm a Lap-Band WLS post-op. Sounds a bit like AA. Obesity is a disease, and fighting it is a life-long fight, that will never go away for me. Not only do I have a Lap-Band, but I’ve done more Lap-Band WLS procedures than anyone in the world. I started doing them in Brisbane, Australia in 1996, and still do them, every week, at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York, where I’ve worked the last 10 years. I perform all of the other bariatric operations and a lot of revision surgery, but I still love doing the Lap-Band, because it’s safe, and it works. I’ve had my own Lap-Band for 16 years. I’ve lost 120 lbs and kept it off. I was on 12 medications for obesity-related diseases and am now on three-one BP med, aspirin, and a Statin, which is sensible for anyone my age, 59. I weigh less than I did when I was 16 and playing high school rugby. So, what have I learned from all this? Here are a few insights and tips that I’ve accrued over the years. 13 Things To Know About Living With the Lap-Band 1. Lap-Band and Other WLS Procedures. The Lap-Band can work as well as any bariatric operation, if it’s done right, and managed properly. It is by no means a lesser operation. It does, however, need you and your surgeon to work, and keep working. 2. Follow-up With Your Surgeon. It’s a two-way street. You have had your Lap-Band placed, which is usually a gentle, safe surgery that takes about 30 minutes, as a same day procedure. After surgery, you have to come regularly to have it adjusted, and your surgeon has to listen to you. I encourage my patients to come in for an appointment once a month for about 18 months, and in that time, they will normally get seven to eight adjustments. After that, it’s usually four times a year for a couple of years, then annually, or whenever the patient needs an adjustment. We have an open door policy for adjustments. Your doctor has to listen to you. 3. Lap-Band and Hunger. The aim of the adjustment is to control hunger. If you tell me you’re more hungry, if you’re eating after dinner at night while you watch TV, if you wake up starving in the morning, then your Lap-Band is loose. You don’t need to see a dietician, you don’t need to go to the gym, and you don’t need to change your diet. You need your band tightened a little. 4. What the Lap-Band Does. Having a Lap-Band is not about restricting yourself or not eating. It’s about eating a lot less, feeling satisfied, and not being hungry after you eat. The aim of a Lap-Band adjustment is to reduce hunger, to reduce the urge to eat, and secondarily, to allow you to get full and satisfied quicker. When your Band is doing this, it’s quite tight. 5. First Law of the Lap-Band. Which brings us to the first law of living with a Lap-Band. Like Newton’s first law, it’s absolute, and it’s true...you can’t live with a tight, well-adjusted band as if you don’t have one. It will beat you every time. Every. Single. Time. 6. How to Eat With a Lap-Band. With a Lap-Band, you have to eat slower than you ever thought. It takes about 20 seconds for the esophagus to push a piece of food into the stomach. You have to eat at that rate, or food will get stuck, it will hurt, and you will have an uncontrollable reflex to vomit, to get that stuck piece of food out. I am lucky enough to be married to a great woman, Chris Ren, the Chief of Bariatric Surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center. She’s a size 6 on a bad day. She doesn't eat much. Lucky her. With my Lap-Band, I eat about the same, or a little less than Chris. If I eat quicker than her, food gets stuck. For certain. Every time. So, mostly I don’t. If I’m excited, say watching the Giants beat the Cowboys, and I forget and gulp a couple of bites of my dinner, she rolls her eyes at me. I shrug, say It’s Eli, baby, and go to the bathroom. It’s how it is, and how it always will be. 7. Eat Slower. I just don’t understand the whole I can’t eat this or that, especially about vegetables and salad. It is always, always, about eating slowly. If you work out the slow eating thing, and you keep your band adjusted, you will not regain weight. 8. Be in the Moment When Eating. The next law of living with the Lap-Band is to be in the moment. If you’re in a nice restaurant with friends, or on a date, have a cocktail and relax. Order food you know you can eat easily - Oysters, soup, risotto, steak or tuna tartare, flaky fish, salmon, veal, stews. Order Sashimi, not rolls. Try tomatoes, lentils, beets or arugula. Have thin pasta, not rigatoni or lasagna. Have the pasta a little overcooked, not al dente. Get an 8 oz filet rare, and eat half of it. Don’t eat the bread!! Push food around the plate. Focus on eating slowly. Stop when you’ve had enough. Don’t mind leaving food on the plate (or take the rest home for another meal). Tell your dinner companions, if they ask, that you’re watching what you’re eating. Don’t rush. Have a glass of wine. It will relax you, and your esophagus. Have two if everyone else is. Above all else, enjoy yourself. Make it not about the food, but the experience. 9. The Lap-Band is About Moderation. Don’t obsess about what you choose to eat. Everything in moderation, like our grandmas told us. Skinny girls eat what they want. They just don’t eat a lot of it. I eat less than my wife, but I eat what I feel like eating. Have a scoop of ice cream every now and then. Have a slice of pizza. When did a slice ever hurt anyone? It's when you eat a pint of ice cream or a whole pizza pie that it’s a problem. Let the Lap-Band help you. All it asks of you is that you eat slowly. If it’s adjusted correctly, you’ll only want a slice, not a pie. 10. How to Take a Break. There’s no harm in having a break for a week or two. If you’re going on a trip to Paris, or Tuscany, and you’ve been waiting your whole life to try all the restaurants you’ve read about, and are nervous, loosen it before you go. Relax, enjoy the moment, then come back and get retightened. But make sure you get retightened, or you will regain weight. 11. Keep Your Adjustment. Everyone who empties their Lap-Band so they can eat “healthier” regains weight. A lot of weight. As sure as the sun rises in the morning. You can eat as healthy as you want if you eat slowly. 12. Eat According to Your Band and Time of Day. The power of the Lap-Band varies by time of day. It’s because the esophagus’s ability to push food is weaker in the morning. Have a cup of coffee, a little yogurt, a soft boiled egg, slowly. It’s looser at night because the esophagus is pumping strongly. Adjust your Lap-Band to deal with the evenings, so you're not hungry after dinner, then adapt to having less in the morning. Emotions affect your Band. It’s the stress hormones affecting your esophagus. If you’re overtired, angry, sad about something or just plain frazzled, stop for a bit before you eat. Sit down, calm down, then eat your meal slowly. Put your knife and fork down between bites. Put the sandwich down between bites. Go slow. Wait until you’ve calmed down. 13. Stay Connected to Your Surgeon. The final thing I’ve learned is to stay in touch with your doctor. If you start getting hungry again, get a fill. Don’t be embarrassed that you haven’t been for a year or two. If you’re getting hungry, if you’re gaining weight, go back. The Lap-Band works. You can’t live with a Lap-Band WLS as if you don’t have it!

Ok so we r eating the same things lol except for pudding, I have Jello and the trip zero oikos yogurt because it has 14-15 g of Protein per serving Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

I am 5 months post-op and this is my abbreviated meal plan: Log my food & any exercise daily 900-1,100 calories per day 60-80g of Protein At least 64 oz. of Water No bread, rice or Pasta No dried fruit or hard, raw veggies Eat protein first and have protein at every meal/snack Avoid high fat foods (5g or less per serving) Avoid high sugar foods (14g or less per serving/25g or less per day) Avoid high sodium foods Take my Multivitamins Exercise 5 hours per week Typical Breakfast is a smoothie (Protein shake, 1/2 banana, PB fit) or Fiber Cereal w/milk, lunch is 1/2 c. refried Beans with cheese & ff sour cream or a salad with grilled chicken and low-fat dressing, dinner is chicken breast or shrimp or lean beef with steamed veggies or a baked sweet potato. Snacks are string cheese or triple zero yogurt or cottage cheese or almonds. Sometimes I will make chicken salad out of canned chicken and snack on that over a few days with a couple wheat thins crackers. I've been craving cuties lately, so I've incorporated one a day this week.

I think it depends on how you define a "snack". I eat 6 times a day...but it's about portion size and quality of choices. My NUT wants minimum of 64 oz of Protein, but more is suggested. Example day: Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs or 1 scrambled egg with 1T mozz cheese. Snack (2 hours later): 6 oz Greek yogurt Lunch: tuna packet (2.6 oz) Snack: Protein Bar Dinner: Baked chicken 3 oz or so Snack: cheese stick and pickle I never eat after 8 pm I need all these in between "snacks" because otherwise I would never get in all my protein. Eating this way helps me not to snack poorly in choices. I don't think of it as snacking though, just part of my meals. If you mean snacking as in "potato chips, cake, etc" Nope...I mostly refrain entirely.

My mom, who has always fallen within the normal BMI range also has her days when she feels she lacks motivation to get on the treadmill or get some physical exercise, yet she does it 90% of the time. She very rarely buys junk food that she is tempted to eat, and eats the same type of meals everyday. My mother-in-law who is obese doesn't exercise. Period. She buys ice-cream, chocolate chips, Cookies, juice, etc. She will bake cookies with my daughter some weekends, say she is bringing them to church, then ends up eating half of them herself. I think I fall somewhere between the two of them. Focused and motivated or hanging out in complete and utter denial where guilt is camped out just over the horizon. Food is much more addictive to me than it is to my mom, but I am not my mother-in-law, nowhere near her. When I get really bored with my food choices, I hear my dietician in my head, "Food is not entertainment. Ask any thin person you know and they'll tell you they eat the same thing most everyday". And damn it, she's right. I so hate it when she's right. So I am back to my usual Protein bar, 80 calorie yogurt, Beans, chickpeas, tofu, daiya cheese, blah, blah, blah. Not entertained, but fighting the good fight, I guess.

I think we have a negative connotation of the word "snack". For us, timed eating is a new way of life. I have to eat every few hours to make my individually designed system work. I am unable to eat enough in three sittings to get the desired amount of nutrients needed for one day. Thus I eat 5 or six times a day. Now, is beef Jerky a snack? I think of it as an added source of Protein. Is Greek Yogurt a snack? Again, I use it as a valuable source of protein. So, snacking or timed eating, is the way I have been successful.

As a southern girl, how about try some homemade pimento cheese with lite mayo (or Greek yogurt) and mix in some unflavored Protein powder. (Non-southern people generally have no idea what pimiento cheese is! ????). It keeps really well and is great with cucumbers, a few crackers, or just with a spoon! If you want a recipe, send me a PM and I will send you mine. Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App

I eat 6-7 times/day. Sometimes it's tiny plate of Chineese take out. Sometimes it's Greek yogurt, or a piece of pizza, or a couple handfuls of pumpkin seeds. Sometimes it's a Quest bar or a bag of Protein chips. Sometimes it's a 1/2 an apple, or fish and tartar sauce, or deli turkey and cheese, or steamed veggies. I just eat when I'm hungry, get in all my protein and fluids and don't get too hung up on the semantics of "is this a meal or is this a snack?" Besides, compared to what I ate before surgery, everything I eat now is "snack size"!

I eat Snacks. I eat 3 meals a day and 1-2 snacks in between. My snacks are things like a carbmaster yogurt (60 calories, 4 g carbs, 9 g protein), a string cheese stick and 3 grape tomatoes with a sprinkle of olive oil, a glass of Mootopia milk (or Fairlife if you're not in Texas), or some hummus and carrots, or a half cup of broccoli/cauliflower with a slice of lowfat cheese melted over. I stick with things that have either high Protein, high Fiber or both, and always try to keep the carbs down so when added to my daily carb totals the snacks don't pop me up over my max. I also count calories (will do so probably for the rest of my life) so I know when I can and can't have a snack. If you can't make smart choices on snacks or you don't want to count calories/carbs, then snacks might not be a good idea, but if you are keeping up with all of that, they do well to make sure you are fueling your body with healthy stuff and not going too long between meals so you forget to eat healthy during actual mealtimes.

Great News! Take it slowly. Ramp up to the Protein and Fluid goals. If you need help with getting protein into things like applesauce, Soup or yogurt try GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. 1 tablespoon has 30g protein and 98 cals. I still use Premium protein (Choc and vanilla) premade drinks from costco. 30g 160 cals. Couldn't have kept my protein high without these 2 products. Best Wishes!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Questions asked at 6-weeks post op 1. How to poop - milk of magnesia followed by warm Water. 2. food restrictions - stick to soft meats, yogurt, and cheese until week 8. 3. Exercise - Walk 2 miles per day everyday! 4. Sagging Skin - Weights 2 days a week. 5. Weight loss - Weight loss will slow down when you start eating more. Take advantage the first 12 weeks!

Pre-op was actually significantly harder for me than post-op. Pre-op... oh that's just a sandwich. or two. bah that's nothing. Post op.... Oh that's a Whole thing of yogurt? sigh. Maybe in an hour or two. Keep at it

7 days post-op and also hungry. This isn't head hunger, I know the difference. Head hunger I can actually ignore, real hunger drags me out of bed at 3am for a yogurt just to stop the pain so I can sleep. I mentioned the hunger to the bariatric nurse when she called to check on me. She said the liquid phase is the worst and once I move to pureed foods, I will start feeling more satisfied. Maybe true but doesn't alleviate the disappointment we feel from being hungry after this operation when we are told that we won't be. On the plus side I have already dropped 6.5 pounds on top of the 10 pounds(!) of Water weight I gained in the hospital. I have never seen the scale drop so fast. Now to survive another week of liquids....

I had gastric bypass on January 27, so I'm 8 weeks out. I'm still on a mostly liquid diet, as I am in a great deal of discomfort/pain whenever I try to eat food. I can handle yogurt whips, Protein shakes, broth, mashed potatoes, and that's it. The surgeon is hoping I'm just a slow healer, but it feels like more than that Anyone else experience that?

I tend to mix things up frequently ... can't eat the same thing too long or I get bored & cravings kick in. Here are some of my go to's: 5 oz greek yogurt with Protein powder (adds an extra 10g) w/ small bits of fruit or berries 1/2c cottage cheese (+powder) with diced peaches 1 scrambled egg with salsa & cheese 1 chicken sausage - large (favs are the spinach & feta or apple) 1 tuna packet (premade) or 1/2c with fat free caesar dressing instead of mayo 1/2c chicken salad with plain greek yogurt instead of mayo & Mrs. Dash seasoning/flavor In a rush I will have a Protein Drink (either EAS or Syntrax nectar fruit flavored) or when we are traveling I order a plain bagel with sausage, egg & cheese and have them put the cheese between the egg & meat. I give the hubby the bagel and eat just the egg and meat.

EAS Protein drink (I take my meds with that) and followed by a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese walmart or dannon light and fit yogurt with 1/2 scoop unflavored protein to get total of 30 grams string cheese and lunch meat sometimes a protein bar - trying to cut back on them. New fav is the power crunch salted caramel with a cup of coffee.
