In terms of solid foods, I was able to add well-cooked green Beans, cottage cheese, and string cheese at Week 4. Week 5 I added scrambled eggs; Week 6, I added salmon, and Week 7, I added chicken, ground beef, and ground turkey.

Right now, I eat scrambled eggs once per day, cottage cheese twice per day, string cheese twice per day, and chicken, ground beef, and salmon once per day each. I am getting between 800-900 calories per day, less than 20 carbs per day, and around 90 grams of Protein per day.

How many ounces are you eating at a time?

Are you still drinking Protein drinks, or getting your Protein just from your food. Also how much can you eat at a time?

I eat 1 egg twice per day. I eat 2 oz of each meat accompanied by 1 oz of green Beans each time (3 "meals" total). I eat 1 string cheese twice per day, and 4 oz of cottage cheese twice per day.

I am about to start solid foods and just want to know an idea of what some of you eat daily.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost 5 months post-op, so this will look like a lot of volume to you:

Breakfast is a cup of coffee with a scoop of Protein powder, for 20g +/-. Sometimes I also have a greek yogurt, but I'm not a Breakfast lover and the Protein in my coffee keeps me going until later in the day. A single-serve greek yogurt is 15g protein and if I don't have it for breakfast, I'll have it at lunch time.

Mid-morning, I'll have a cheese stick (8g) or a couple of apple wedges with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter (4g).

Mid-afternoon, an ounce of almonds (6g) or 1/2 cup cottage cheese with pureed no sugar added preserves (15g)

dinner is usually two ounces of some kind of protein, like salmon (15g) and a couple of ounces of a vegetable.

Before bed, if I need more protein for the day, I'll eat more almonds, or another cheese stick.

Other things I eat regularly are Beans. 1/2 cup of refried Beans with a T of grated cheese (6-7g)

Lentils, 1/2 cup with sauteed onions (8-9g)

When I reached mushy food stage I was able to have deli turkey, ground beef, shredded chicken, fish and scrambled eggs. So when solid food hit the next week, I was able to add grilled and baked chicken, pork and denser beefs. And all vegetables except tomatos.

At 4.5 mths out, I have a Protein shake for breakfast, for lunch and dinner, I alternate between eggs, beef, chicken, tuna salad, chicken salad, turkey, ham. Usually 2-4 ozs.. Add in a couple of bites of veggies and i am full. cheese for a snack if needed. And sugar free popsicles are still a staple in my freezer.

Haven't met a food I can't tolerate. I take small bites and eat slowly (most of the time) I also eat out a lot so leftovers are always in my fridge.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
