Time to See What Everyone's Eating Now?
Hi Everyone,
I am now 6 weeks out and slowly starting to eat some of the lower calorie, high protein Lean Cuisines (though I try not to get the ones with too many carbs) and since I hate protein shakes, I got some South Beach Protein Bars. I also still have cheese, some Ryvita crackers, turkey meatballs, fish, high fiber cereal, weight control oatmeal and chicken.
What is everyone eating?

I eat eggs, shrimp, chicken, fish, nuts, shakes, bars, meatballs, hamburger with cheese (no bread), Wendy's chili, cheese - those are my staples.
I eat...pretty much nothing. Going on Tuesday (for my stinkin birthday) to find out why I cannot eat or drink even water. Thank god for the people on this board who pointed out I may have a stricture. I called my surgeon and they said "well, you are drinking too fast.....WHAT!!!!???? I cannot drink shakes, or eat normal food. Just mostly yogurt.
I think it will get better. Thanx for posting this, because without comparason we don't know what the average (I wont say normal) is. Went from having a full head of 4 foot long hair to thin and short around my ears. Listen people, pat yourselves on the back for coming out ok, and eating as you should - but for the grace of god......

I tried to eat 800-1000 cal with 80grams of protein I did that for about 2 weeks but it seemed like I was eating all the time and I gained weight. Now I am back down to 550-600 cal with 50 grams of protein. I am going to slowly try to increase but not in a hurry till I plateau again.
Best think I have found is Beach Diet Chocolate Peanut butter meal replacement bar. 210 cal 19g protein I eat at least one or 2 a day and they taste something like a rice crispy treat (really )
