Hi :)

I am almost 4 months post op and am able to eat all kinds of things. Each tummy is different and what works for one sometimes just doesn't work for another. I can eat about a cup of food - 8 ounces. I never finish a normal size portion ever.

When I go out, I modify everything most of the time. I ask for sauces and dressings on the side and avoid anything fried.

I take a lot home and eat left overs (which is something I NEVER did before!)

Sometimes I order off the children's menu and that is just the perfect amount. My body does super well with all kind of veggies, chicken and fish. My tummy doesn't like anything fried or sugary.

I avoid eating starches like potatoes, corn, bread, chips etc... I avoid anything that has refined sugar in it and I drink mostly Water, with an occasional unsweetened ice tea, cup of coffee. I don't drink diet soda's nor do I drink pre-sweetened anything. I eat my Protein and veggies first and this helps me to stay on track. If you order from a menu that serves you in courses, eat 10 bites of salad, one leaf at a time, saving room for your Protein. I eat 3 bites of protein to one bite of veggies. I save the bread for my treat at the end of the meal if I want one.

As for going out with company, I eat out all the time. I have lost 80 lbs since my RNY gastric bypass on June 30, 2014.

I am continuing to have a Protein shake every morning and it helps with my energy and stamina too!

Don't be afraid to experiment with different foods when you start out, but go for food that is more "in it's original form" and plain. Don't be afraid to ask for it to be made a special way or without sauce etc...

Hope this helps! Best wishes :)

Clarissa

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
