What are you eating?

I'm almost 6 weeks PO and I am on regular foods. Are any of you just eating what u want just less of it or have you switched to healthy eating? If you're eating what you want, are you achieving good weight loss?

I'm asking because I typically eat what I want, just less of course, while making healthier choices here and there. As of last week, I've only lost 20lbs (which I lost in the 1st 2 weeks). I know there's a weight stall but, I wanted to know if it was due to my food choices or if it's just how it is.

I'm on regular foods now as well. My surgery was June 3rd. I've mostly been sticking to high Protein stuff like chicken. I've made filet minion (sp?) kabobs too. But I find that I have to eat soooo slow it's sort of annoying. And getting all my Protein in is not easy. Yes, I have tried some regular stuff like Cheetos Puffs (1/2 of a serving). And still lost 2lbs that week. Just have to be sure to log it and be careful. I've even started drinking some wine. 6oz of white is about 7carbs. But again, I log it. I use My Fitness Pal religiously. It's the only way I can keep track of things as well as STAY on track. I tried to eat a very small salad from Noodles yesterday and really only got the chicken down. High Fiber foods still don't sit well. I think it's trial and error at this point. HUGE learning curve. Hope that helps a little. Also hope more people post stuff. Stealing ideas is the best thing from this site! Best of luck!

I'm on regular foods, surgery was June 12th. I'm still eating mostly Protein, because once I get my protein in I don't have room for much else. For example, I made a low-carb meatloaf the other night and was able to eat 2.5 oz of meatloaf and less than a tablespoon of greenbeans. My husband had a couple of friends over to work on his boat last night (men's garage party) and I ordered pizzas. I pulled the toppings off 2 slices, but couldn't finish. My weight loss has slowed to 2-3lbs a week. It seems like those who were under orders to stay on liquids longer lose weight more quickly. I kind of wish I had been in that group, but once on solid food, I don't want to go back to full liquids! My favorite snack is a babybel cheese. I still have trouble getting my Water in, but I have always struggled with Fluid intake. I think I'm just not as thirsty as normal people!

My surgery was April 23 and although I am on regular foods I still don't lose if I don't get my Protein Shakes in. Two a day equal 60gr and as for food I eat Protein first then maybe I eat 2pieces of broccolli or 6green Beans and I'm done. There's no way I could get my protein requirements in on food alone. I do taste things often to see how it feels and bread and Pasta are not my friends! Im down almost 50lbs but was stuck at 200 for what seemed like forever!
