I had cottage cheese and a roma Tomato with a small banana. I typically eat a Protein Bar twice for a morning and afternoon snack. For dinner usually some sort of chicken or fish and a fresh vegetable. I rarely eat more than 1100 calories a day but get in 70 to 85 grams of Protein a day. I have love over 175 pounds in about 10 months and I'm still losing. I feel great. Eat healthy no matter what you eat and please do yourself a favor and log your food. I use my fitness pal on my Iphone. That is really a key to success.

I just packed my first lunch since tomorrow I go back to work! I'm 4 weeks out so mine looks a little different. Tomorrow I'm going to drink a Protein Shake during my commute. For a snack I have 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese w/ 1 tbs of Protein Powder to add in. For lunch: 1 Light Baby Bell cheese and a hard-boiled egg. Sounds so boring, but I'll get to mix it up in 2 weeks when I graduate to regular food! :)

I'm a big fan of logging my food as well! Even at a year out, it's very helpful.

Has this just started? Would you mind telling us what you eat? You may want to check with your nutritionist and see if they can give you some advise. I only drink one cup of coffee a day and it takes care of me nicely but if you do drink coffee, perhas you could drink some Protein shook up on fresh coffee (I would recommend ice coffee) perhaps with some non fat milk to make it a mocha. The caffeine could possibly perk you up. Let us know how your doing ok?

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
