I am 11 weeks out and this is an example of my daily meal plan:

Breakfast: Light n Fit Dannon Green yogurt (Blueberry or Strawberry) with half a scoop powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury

unflavored Protein powder mixed in.

1 lf cheese stick.

Lunch: 2oz Turkey Breast

1 lf cheese stick

FF french onion dip

Melba Toast (4)

Dinner: Sam's chicken meatballs (3)

Cucumbers (about 6 slices peeled)

ff french onion dip

Then I have at least one Protein Drink of some kind. I usually like Syntax nectar drinks that you mix with 16 oz of Water. So I am getting 23 grams of Protein and 16 oz of Water at the same time.

I am 3 weeks out and I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast, egg/ham mini-muffins (x2) or cream cheese for morning snack, then chicken, meatballs, ham/cheese roll ups, beans/cheese or something like that for lunch and dinner. My Protein shake in the morning gives me 1/2 of my protein for the day....then I try to eat something with at least 6g. of protein every 3-4 hours....once I get all my protein in for the day, I focus on liquids. Which I'm still only getting in about 32 oz. of......still working on increasing that. It's harder that it sounds. lol

Are you counting your protein shake as part of our liquids? I heard it counts.

I see from reading others posts, my inability to tolerate chicken, eggs and most veggies is pretty uncommon at 3 months. I'm wondering why my dr. didn't question me more about it yesterday. I guess everyone's stomach heals differently. As long as I'm making Protein req. I guess I'm ok. Finally could eat some iceberg lettuce this week, but still no dark greens. I miss eggs! Eventually...I'm sure (I hope!).

No I'm not, I asked my nutritionist because I thought it counted to, but she said the 64 oz. liquid is in addition to the Protein Shakes.< /p>

i am only 3 1/2 weeks out and just starting on the soft foods. when you say your tummy doesn't tolerate things, what happens? some of the same things i have been trying have been "coming back up". not throwing up but just like baby burp type, minus the burp! sorry that sounds gross but i'm sure you understand! lol

      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.
