so it has been a year and one month since my surgery and I have lost 140lbs but i still have 40 i want to lose. My problem is i don't know what to eat. At my year appointment he was told me how well i did and see you in a year. I have always struggled with what to eat now i really don't know. what are you all eating a year after your surgery? are you all still doing the same limitations on the carbs? I was suppose to only eat 25 net carbs a day.

My primary focus is reaching my Protein target every day.

I don't necessarily count carbs, but do choose lower carb options and avoid starches for the most part.

I still eat a lot of turkey, tuna, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.

I would remain low carb until after you reach your goal. What you have been eating seems to be working, why change it? Maybe add in some new recipes for variety but yes, stick with low carb until goal.

I was thinking about that but this is my busy season at work and it's hard to get away. I still may do that. I'm just kind of over meat and eggs lol but it's a necessary evil lol (I'm on a fruit kick right now... apples to be exact)

      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.
