What are you all eating now at 6 mths post-op...

I always like to see what others are eating now and how much you can eat. I am still addicted to soup and salads, I eat soup for breakfast, lunch, soup & salad for dinner and 1 tomatoe and 1/2 cucumber for snack. Amy

protein shake for breakfast Lunch is a South Beach frozen meal, I usually only eat the meat and a little bit of veggies. Or tuna salad lunch packs, or leftover chili, today it is a few tablespoons of hummus and a pita wedge and 2 dolmades (grape leaf wraps) Snack is a protein bar/shake Dinner is usually a chicken breast or 4 oz of pork/turkey and 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes or green beans, or a street taco/taco al carbon if I am out then a protein shake for dessert

Fruit and cheese maybe for breakfast or eggs and ham. Piece of fruit for a snack I go to a school with a cafeteria so I get a meat and two veggies, or beans with a little rice and two veggies. Supper, I just concentrate on eating protein first and 1-2 veggies a bite of whatever the carb is. Snack 1% milk or cheese with some fruit or V8 and whole wheat triscuits.

Breakfast: boiled egg, & three prunes lunch: roasted chicken thigh or 2 oz roast beef a few bites of salad. dinner: 3 oz steak or chicken thigh, a very little bit of cooked veggies. snack: sugarfree fudgecicle that's about it for me. Darla

OK now I feel like I am eatting too much! Breakfast is usually a shake or 1/2 of a protein bar snack- rest of protein bar Lunch- toppings off of a nacho bellgrande with a few chips Snack-a tootsie roll, few bites of S/F ice cream Dinner- 3- oz of beef stew and potato's Snack-????? I WISH HALLOWEEN CANDY! Maybe a few bites of S/F ice cream.

let's see today menu 1/2 a 1 egg denver omelet 4oz of FF milk Snack String Cheese 4 jelly bellies (sugar free! I'm human!) Lunch 3oz chicken stuffed w/ cheese and broccolli 1/2 apple Snack 4 jelly bellies (oh get them out of the house!) Dinner 1/2 cup Ham & scallopped potatoes Snack 4oz FF milk For a grand total of: 659/64 cal/protein eh.

I most always have low fat cottage cheese for breakfast Lunch is 1/2 cup tuna with 3 small squares of saltine crackers crushed up in the tuna or I have 1/2 cup refried beans with 1 string cheese. Sometimes I will have 1/2 of a small Wendy's chilli. I also eat left over shrimp, 5 medium or left over fish usually Halibut or salmon 1/2 cup. I generally do not snack in the daytime but if I do I will have a few nuts, peanuts or almonds. My surgeon said I might get hungry as I was only taking in 600 to 700 calories daily and adding the nuts would add about 100 calories and help. I do not measure them by weight, as he demonstrated what the amt. should look like. It is about the size of 1/2 or less of an individual pack of peanuts from a vending machine. For dinner, I like to have some of the same as I listed above but have also had scallops or chicken---3 ounces. I try to have a little vegetable and usually it is yellow squash which I cook in a fry pan with no stick spray, water and then spray with fake butter spray. I should eat more vegetables and I may not get so constipated!! I do not eat much fruit. Probably should. Evening snack is generally unjury chocolate protein in 8 oz. of soy milk. I have been putting in a teaspoon of splenda and some vanilla, add a little crushed ice and about an ounce of water, whip it in my magic bullet and it is great. I really have not had much of a plateau except about the 3 to 4 week mark. I average about 3 to 3.5 pounds a week, sometimes less, sometimes more. O.K. As usual I have gone on and on. Julia

I just went to see my nurtianist(sp) and found out that I wasn't eating enough. I had to up my food intake. So today for breakfast I had a 6oz yogurt and a banana, snack was 11 pretzals crisps and 1/4 cup of crab dip, lunch was about 3 oz of chicken and 2 oz of raw carrots, snack was the same as morning, dinner was 1/2 mexican pizza from taco bell. I was told last week that I wasn't getting in enough veggies and fruit, so I am trying to add them back into my diet. I started drinking V8 juice again as one of my veggies. Have a great day, Deanna

I find myself skipping breakfeast, which is a big change in my life. That used to be my big meal of the day. Now it's lunch, which tends to be meat, normally 4 to 7 oz. Sometimes fruit as a snack. Dinner is again meat and a veggie. Sugar free ice pops about 1 or 2 hours after that. Very little snacking (if any) during the day.
