Breakfast - whey Protein shake with instant coffee :)

lunch - wheat spaghetti with low fat sauce and a touch of cheese

Afternoon snack - WW string cheese

dinner - usually a casserole my sister fixes from Sparkpeople (low fat - high protein)

Right before bed, I have a little cottage cheese because I'm hypoglycemic and will get sick if I don't.

Omg I think I'm way out of whack or something everyone of y'all eat way more than I do :( for breakfast I eat a egg cheese and sausage tortilla thing. Then most days I skip lunch if I do eat lunch its a lean cuisine then dinner I eat either pieces of a whole chicken I cook in the crockpot or I eat steak with brocolli and cheese but I only eat like 6 bites of dinner then I'm done. The chicken in the crockpot is the only chicken I have found I can eat since it sits in a cup of Water and cooks so its rly rly moist to where it just falls apart. Maybe I should try eating more idk

Well, everyones different... If you are having trouble getting Protein down are you maybe too tight? Everyone eats different. I get about 4oz of Protein per meal, then if i can fit in anything else I add that in.

Well dry chicken just won't stay down idk why everything else is perfectly fine. It doesn't matter if I chew dry chicken 50 times its coming back up its feels as if it sits in the back of my throat like I can't swallow it. I do drink Protein Shakes to try to get enough Protein in but I rly doubt I even get enough calories prolly like 600 a day if that

Great ideas! I seem to get stuck in a rut some weeks, and it seems like I eat the same thing over and over.

Breakfast: Click Mocha Protein shake (blended with 12 oz. Water and ice) -- it gets me going in the morning! :)

Snack: Chobani Greek yogurt (if I'm hungry)

Lunch: salad [5 oz. grilled chicken, 2% cheddar cheese (1 oz.), baby spinach (2 cups), and light ranch salad dressing]

Snack: 11 Newman's Own Hi-Protein pretzels with Babybel Light cheese

Dinner: Baked chicken breast (5 oz), steamed zucchini/yellow squash with a little lemon pepper

Breakfast:

I had 2 eggs sunny side up, with 1 light english muffin

Lunch:

Should be the left over chicken salad in my fridge with 2 flat bread crackers

dinner

Either a lean cuisine pizza (omg these are good I'm obsessed with them), or 4 turkey meatballs with mozzarella cheese and marinara

and knowing me, probably a stop for some Pinkberry somewhere in there :D

Do you eat the entire lean cuisine pizza? those are my favorite!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
