what do you eat?



Recommended Posts

Can someone who is 4-6 months post surgery, please give me an idea of what you eat every day. Just a typical Breakfast, lunch, dinner. I don't even care that much about the quantity, just what kind of stuff can you eat? Can you still make tacos for you family and have one? Just wondering if I will be eating totally differnt things than what I serve my family.

Here is a typical day:

B- eggs and fruit (apples or strawberries) or 1 egg and refried Beans and salsa, or 1 cup greek yogurt (20 g Protein in one container!and NO fat!)with fruit.

L-sliced turkey lunch meat and salad w/lots of veggies or chicken and hummus with cucumbers.

D-turkey burger w/no bun, vegetable (salad or a cooked one), or some other form of chicken and another vegetable!! (I do a lot of turkey burgers from Rachel Ray recipes- she has a zillion variations on turkey burgers so you get a lot of variety) or I go Mexican and have ground turkey, refried beans and shredded lettuce and tomatoes - a tostada without the tortilla - I use the greek yogurt as sour cream!!

I am not real restricted, so as I get tighter the turkey burger will shrink, I'm sure but this gives you the idea.

I am 6 months out and losing nicely. Here is what I ate yesterday.

Breakfast-fiber one and go lean crunch (mixed together) with 1% milk

S1-South Beach high Protein snack bar

lunch-can of tuna, tablespoon of ranch dressing, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese

(warmed in microwave-it is awesome)

S2-Cheez-it 100 calorie pack

dinner-low fat english muffin with low fat Peanut Butter and 1/2 a banana

S3-light ice cream 1/2 cup

I have been eating 6 times a day on the advice of my nutritionist and I am hardly ever hungry!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
