How are you keeping track of what you are eating? I use myfitnesspal to make sure I stay on the right path. I also keep my FitBit on to make sure I am up and moving.

I'm just past 4 months. My fitnesspal is my recorder. I do a Protein Drink for Breakfast every morning. After that it's up in the air what I eat. I do have my main Protein supplements of tuna creations, baked tilapia, and canned chicken. They're always on hand and I eat a lot of them. I recently slowed down my weight loss but I know it was the choices and quantity of food I was eating. After I corrected my mistake I was loosing at my normal pace again. I'm now into store bought rotisserie turkey breast. I have them cut into steak size and it works out to about 3 oz each.

Canned chicken and tuna are great sources! I add a little bit of olive oil and get creative with salt-free seasonings. Yummy and satisfying. I usually pair with a 1/2 of serving of flatbread or crackers and some fruit or a greek yogurt. I am usually too full to even finish an entire meal.

For me on canned chicken I just drain the Water most of the time but I sometimes add zesty honey mustard into it. As for tuna Creations it's a bag StarKist product. I like the Sweet & Spicy flavor.

Sweet and spicy is one of my favs.

I also dig sushi sans rice.

Just like some of the other people. I keep track of everything with myfitnesspal. I also have a fitbit that I use daily. I try to get 100 + grams of Protein a day and keep my carbs under 40 grams a day.

A typical day for me is up and out the door at 6:30 with a Protein shake made with soymilk and a whey isolate ( prob around 30 grams a protein)

Breakfast is Protein pudding ( 1 box of SF pudding w 1 3/4 cup soy milk and 4 scoops of protein powder). I divide into 6 servings for 6 breakfasts (about 20 grams of protein)

lunch is usually 3 oz. of meat (chicken, turkey, a turkey sausage, or beef) with some kind of sauce and about 1/4 cup of either cottage cheese, edamame, or steamed green Beans

afternoon or post-workout is a Protein Shake this time with Water (about 25 grams of protein)

dinner is usually about the same as lunch, a different meat and sauce)

I am 5 months post op RNY and have lost 105 lbs. so far. I rarely eat out. I've made tons or recipes from Pinterest that I'll change a bit to suit my tastes. I've also cut out all sugar, wheat, Pasta, rice, potatoes, most high sugar fruits, flour, etc. from my diet. I don't miss any of those things at all!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
