I thought this would be a good place to write down and share what it is you are eating in a day! This might help all of us in one way or another to pick up some tips or even point out to each other what might not look right and get each other on the right track!

Breakfast:

Snacks:

Lunch:

Dinner:

I can't wait to read everyone's answers...I actually need a little kick and help in this department!

Thanks!!!!!

Wow, well since I have such a screwy schedule with nursing, working days and nights I eat different things.

For brekkie: either Weight control quaker instant oatmeal, with splenda brown sugar and 1/4 cup skim milk. Or 1/2 cup all brand with 1/4 cup yogurt or 1 cup kashi Cereal with 1/2 milk or 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Lunch: Tin of tuna with light mayo or a boiled egg or 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Dinner: Small piece of fish baked, um well lets just say dinner is usually something out of my new bible. It is called Eating well after weight loss surgery. Amazing meals with so many varieties and total calorie breakdown. I had Salmon tonight with lime dill and fat free cream cheese how yummy is that!

Snacks, which I do maybe one or two during the day, depending on night shift or day shift. I have bought those 100 calorie Snacks in sweet and savory types and apple sauce organic no sugar added stuff. Or maybe a piece or two of imitation crab, yummy stuff.

Did a month of clear fluids so happy to be eating!!!!

Well my menu varies from day to day - so maybe we can post daily what our menus look like here!

Breakfast - 1 cup of dry shredded frosted mini wheats, chewed really well - YUM they lasted me at least 30 minutes.

lunch - 1 cup of salad greens with a grilled chicken breast and Vidalia onion vinaigrette

Snack - Yoplait light yogurt

dinner will be grilled tilapia and steamed veggies

Now that I have had my 2nd fill, cottage cheese is my best friend!! I have a 5cc band and am filled 2.5cc's. I am having to force a lot of food back up because it is getting stuck. I don't want to jump to the conclusion that my band is too tight. It is more lilely that I have still not mastered the small bites, chew chew chew and then swallow!!! It does get frustrating and sometimes embarrassing!!!

I have to keep reminding myself that this is the tool that I have to learn to use to help me reach my goal.

      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.
