Year out what do you eat on daily basis?

[mtchick 29]

Personally I can't eat bread of any kind (I'm Celiac/gluten free). It sticks and is very, very painful! I'm almost 11 months. Protein Shake & Greek yogurt Breakfast. Turkey bites, string cheese or chili for lunch. Small bag of Cheetos for a snack (I'm human!). Protein Bar for dinner. I need more fruits and veggies????

I am a month and a few days out and I just ate a whole slice of med. pizza not the crust.... It made me full but no issues... Is this bad?? Hahah first time trying pizza.

Thanks for the advise, I've been sooo scared to eat bread since my sleeve. I will still wait maybe another month to eat it. Too scared it will put pounds abd inches on me. But I really miss eating sandwiches.

skip the bread. my H is allergic to wheat and he eats just about anything you can make into a sandwich in a lettuce (boston butter) wrap. i wouldnt start eating sandwiches until you are are at goal... its a lot of carbs and lots of room in your tiny stomach. try the lettuce wrap.. my H actually prefers them!

I'm exactly one year out on May 30th. I eat shrimp cocktail, homemade spicy turkey chili, tilapia, egg salad, scrambled eggs w/salsa, spicy shrimp sushi (made w/brown rice), Greek yogurt w/chopped pecans, spaghetti squash, quinoa salad, spinach salad, turkey Jerky, nuts, hummus w/lentil crackers, chicken salad w/feta in a high Protein wrap, burger w/o bun, turkey meatballs, turkey meatloaf, pea Soup, refried Beans, baked ricotta, pizza-stuffed zucchini, chicken sausage and veggie stir fry. I can't tolerate baked or roasted chicken or turkey and I can't eat anything w/rice flour. I haven't had any sugar, bread, white potatoes, white rice or Pasta. I can eat brown rice on very small amounts. I still love my morning high protein coffee shake. :-)

I'm 7 months out and eat around 900-1000 calories a day. My diet is varied and revolves around: eggs, dannon or yo plait Greek yogurt with Special K Protein Cereal added to it, Lots of salad with grilled chicken or ham, edamame, veggies (brussel sprouts, fresh green Beans, asparagus, cauliflower, red pepper,) a little fruit here or there, fish, steak, hummus with carrots, Quest bars, quesadillas with lo carb tortilla, crackers, whipped pb, 100 cal bags of kettlecorn. I really don't eat rice, Pasta,potatoes except to have a bite here or there- it fills me up too much as does bread. I will eat an occasional piece of light bread toasted or a half of bagel thin but that's about all I can manage.

I'm down 125 lbs and still have 100 to go.

Sounds to me your doing great!! You have given me great ideas on things to add to my daily menu.. How do you keep track of your calories? I use myfitnesspal .

I am 10 months out and at or below goal. I eat about 1000 cals per day. I eat a huge variety of food but always Protein first, then veges then a little bit of starch like sweet potatoes or quinoa.

My understanding of what happens to bread is that on its way down the oesophagus the peristaltic movement causes it to ball up then when it reaches your stomach it feels like rocks landing. I have bought a whole sourdough loaf and sliced really thin slices, about quarter of an inch thick, then toasted the slice to have tuna or egg on for lunch. This one slice will have 2gm of protein! I could not have eaten any bread before about 8 or 9 months out, and I have it about once every couple of weeks now because it is yummy and makes a nice change. I am trying to have a normal diet and not say no to too many things. I don't have Pasta, and only ever have a teaspoon of rice if ever. I have had weight watchers ice cream but it is a special treat.

I have made some bad choices but just treat these as a learning process and move on, it don't call any of my choices cheats, just poor choices.

I am hoping that by having a large variety of food I will not get bored and will better manage to maintain the new skinny me.

Good luck to you all.

Definitely check with your surgeon before adding carbs. Occasionally I'll have a 1/4 cup of brown rice (maybe once a month), and maybe once a month I'll have one slice of whole-grain toast. Maybe every other month I have half of a sweet potato. So, I really don't have carbs except naturally occurring carbs in things like Beans, quinoa, almonds or walnuts, or Peanut Butter, etc. Try to stay away from frozen meals - remember we're all trying to change our lives and be healthier, and that's a lot of processed food. However, I do admit, I keep an emergency frozen meal in the fridge (e.g., I'm in a hotel for two weeks), but it's either an Atkins meal or the one variety of Lean Cuisine that doesn't include Pasta, rice or potatoes.
