Is it bad to eat slider foods? I'm 3 months out and still have egg drop Soup for lunch with cottage cheese.< /div>

I am 3 months post op as well and I eat whatever I want. I have no restrictions regarding my diet accept my 30 grams of non vegetable carbs per day. I have eaten things like a cheeseburger from Mc'Ds and I have had pizza but I went for the thin crust. I haven't had a fill yet as my MD and I are happy with my weight loss thus far. Although these past 2 weeks I have been really struggling to stay within my carb limit so I am thinking of getting a fill on my next appt 9/30

I think the reason I am sticking with the same thing day in and day out is for a couplel reasons.

1. I am SO fearful to eat anything else for fear I will gain my weight back.

2. It is satisfying me and I'm losing weight, so I guess if it isn't broken then why fix it.

Does that make sense?

As long as it's working for you, your still losing, and your not starving 2 hours after lunch, then you should be good to go. If any of those things change, then it'll be time to rethink your lunch choice.

what are you eating for your other meals?

There are other low carb options that are fast and easy for luch like chicken or tuna salad, string cheese sticks, lunch meat / cheese rollups (I dip them in Mayo) sugar free Jello with Redi Whip

If your not getting hungry before dinner you should be good to go but if you are then you need to think of other things to eat.

That's my take on it as well. If you find you're eating slider foods because you're too tight for solid food, then your band is too tight. But, if you're nutritional needs are being met through out the day with your other meals, you're losing weight, and you're not hungry soon after lunch then it sounds like it's working for you.

I eat the same thing for Breakfast 99% of the time - 1/2 cup dry Khashi Go Lean Cereal (high fiber/high protein). I try to vary my other meals, but sometimes I know I get into a rut.

      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.
