I hit the 2 month post op yesterday the 28th. Now I've noticed I'm struggling deciding what to eat. I got cleared for all foods now but I don't know how to eat meaning what to actually eat. I know I'm allowed everything now but my doc says to avoid breads and Pasta etc. for at least 6 months. I actually just want an idea of what others eat. Like what does a normal day of meals look like including the Water and Protein. I started the gym a week ago and I'm trying to go at least 4xs a week since I noticed my weight loss has decreased to like 1 pound a week sometimes nothing. I did go from 234lbs to now 190. I think I just might have hit a stall and I'm just embracing it like I have read in other posts lol.

Here's an example of my day

Breakfast = Dannon lite and fit Greek yogurt

lunch = half to 3 quarter cup of homemade chili (made with ground turkey, kidney Beans, and bell pepper, and Tomato puree and seasoning of course)....that's this week..........some times I have an Atkins frozen dinner, but can only eat a little more than half.

Dinner = 3 ounces of Grilled or baked meat (chicken, fish, pork chop) with non starchy veggie. I can usually only take a bite or two of the veggie

If I'm hungry after dinner or need more Protein I may have another yogurt...

As far as Water I drink Water all day....on average about 80 ounces. I don't drink any Protein shakes.

Thank You so much. I might try the Atkins frozen meals if I can find them near the food stores I go.

      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.
