Bananas and strawberry Protein shakes or smoothies for Breakfast a few times a week.

meat, cheese, eggs, greek yogurt. I never used shakes. I just focused on eating as much meat as possible. I ate tons of beef and chicken, seafood was a once or twice a week thing. It's not my favorite food, and it was not something I ever prepared at home unless it was tuna or some crab mixture. Tilapia and mahi mahi are the only fish I really like, and I typically screw those up when preparing at home.

The main veggies I ate were green Beans, broccoli, and refried or pinto Beans.

I ate poached eggs with cheese, ground meats, tons of deli meat with cream cheese, chicken and beef made in the crock pot. I ate tons of leftovers. I'd prepared 2-3 cups of a specific food, and freeze individual portions for easy meals.

Did you have any problems with the beef? My doc told me to avoid it for 6 months!!! I didn't tolerate it well with my band, but I used to be a heavy meat eater pre-banding.

I knew before I had my surgery that I would never have that problem (I wish I did!) of losing too much or too fast, sigh...I'm not complaining though, I' m very happy where I am
