Breakfast: eggs (, cheese, veggies, mango salsa, chicken sausage) or Protein Shakes

Snack: a Protein Shake

Lunch: chicken patty or chicken meatballs ( from Costco), seaweed salad. Sometimes left overs from a previous dinner.

Snack: a chicken hotdog (about 3 oz and from Costco), seaweed wafers

Dinner: lots of different " cooking light" recipes. Most revolve around chicken or shrimp, seafood salad, veggies (sautéed, grilled, steamed). My wife does her bet to help me out with dinner and does a great job.

When I go out I try to evaluate menu options and pick something low in fat, carbs and calories. I do mess up on occasion but because something that looked really healthy was not!

I do not eat processed, fruit or bread foods nor do I eat sweets or pastries. Seem to be ok without them and do not even think about it nor do I miss them.

I get most of my core nutritional needs from a handful of different pills in the morning ( Calcium chew throughout the day).

Overall I am happy with both progress and energy that this type of eating gives me after 6 months ( been eating this way from month 2). I am close to goal and am about 6.5 months out.

My wife has also found eating the same foods for dinner, but in larger portions, is helping her lose weight. She no longer eats the same amount (very little in fact) of bread.

I can usually eat 4 oz of a Protein and 1 oz of veggie. More than hat and I am sliming. Not worth it.

I also run 3-5 miles every other day, lift every other day and follow an intense workout with my morning shake to help recovery for next run.

UPDATE: oh and I love my weekly starbucks grande skinny lattee. I am definitely a coffee advocate(both my dr and NUT allow it).

Hope this helps.

      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.
