What Do Your Meals Look Like? Portion Size? Types Of Food?

So I'm currently three almost 4 weeks out (Thursday) from surgery. I've said before that I can eat just about anything, but I'm trying to stick to high Protein, low-fat, low sugar/sodium foods. Because of this, I'm starting to get bored with my meals. Any suggestions? Also, is everyone sticking to a cup of food even if you haven't a fill?

My biggest recommendation is find a staple meal you could eat all the time. I like to go to Trader Joe's and buy their frozen foods because they taste fresh and they have good Protein. I also like to keep Jerky on hand, string cheese, Greek yogurt, steel cut oats, etc.

For lunches, I usually try to make a "stir fry" with chicken, some dressing, and some veggies and then mix together. Sometimes I also have a sandwich.

After I was banded, I did alot of Protein Shakes and seafood. I found that for me seafood is much easier to go down and the shakes are easy on the go. I have a Blender Bottle and I am using 1 scoop of Unjury no flavor powder and Pure Protien van shake. Together it's about 52g of protien. I have that first thing in the morning or I sip it throught the day. In any event, I get the Protein in and I found that it has helped my weight loss and controls my hunger. Good Luck girlie and welcome to the banded community.
