I;ve noticed once I find something I can eat, I literally beat it to death until I don't want anymore. It will be a long time before I will be eating cottage cheese or beans. 
Up until today, I was eating 1/4 cup of food, three times a day. I went through Kaiser and they do not allow snacks or protein shakes. I did end up having some protein shakes when I was having some nausea, I dont regret that. So, I was consuming less than 400 calories- even on days that I had shakes instead of food.
Today was my three month post op appt. Moving forward the plan is 1/2 - 3/4 of a cup of food, three times a day. Mostly I am eating chicken breast, eggs, cheese, mostly protein (75% protein). So,.. my food is going ok. Today I ate out, ethiopian food - mostly chicken but also some spicy lentils, cooked carrots, and yellow peas. It was divine to have something different.
Ive got the exercise thing down but I must confess that I have it easy. My work has a gym. So, I eat on my breaks and I go to the gym on my lunch hour. Thats how I get in 5 days a week. I actually enjoy it in the middle of my day because it helps me relieve stress. If it wasnt as easy as taking the elevator down 8 floors to the gym, I dont know if I would get it in as often.
I hope you are doing well :) Its been a strange journey.
