I am also 4 months out and loving it! I start the day with some yogurt and some good carbs(fruits, half english muffin, gronola) cause then I hit the gym and the carbs help maintain your blood sugar. I still drink a Protein Drink throughout the day just to make sure I am getting in all that Protein. For lunch and dinner I have fish or chicken and a small amount of veggies if I can stomach it(I'm still only able to eat 3 to 4 oz a meal) or I just enjoy the protein. I love all seafood it is so easy to mix up reciepes and its so so high in protein. Pay close attention to your tummy though cause what used to work before may not work now. I try small amounts of everything before having a "full" meal. Good Luck!

I'm 10 months post op and I have cottage cheese for Breakfast, Protein Shake for snack, Soup for lunch and somthing small for dinner. After surgery I totally do not like meat any more so I will be drinking my Protein for ever. I like to each low fat cheeses, veggies, pretzels, nuts, seeds etc. Also you may want to check with your surgeon and se what they suggest you be eating.

I was wondering today if I would become a vegetarian because even the smell of meat makes me sick, during the liquid phase, chicken broth and beef broth both made me so so sick, and I have tried chicken and beef in small portions does not agree with me right now at all :(

      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.
