I eat the light and fit carb control yogurts. I've juiced some leaf lettuce or parsley with carrots. I make tuna salad: tuna in water, chopped celery (fine) and a little light mayo. I love shrimp with shrimp sauce. I use frontera salsa with corn and poblano chile to moisten chicken or fish. Also lemon juice with basil.
I eat different things than my family... my timing doesn't always coincide with their meal times anyway.
Hope this helps a little.
My highest weight was 280, surgery weight was 262, and my weight now is 217. My goal weight is 130. 87 lbs to go.
5-13-09 update: My cravings for Diet Coke are worse... I've read many things about why not to drink carbonated beverages:
Gas and bloating and cramping.
Dumping.
Ripping staples open.
Empty calories when you need nutrition.
Dehydrating effect of the caffeine.
interference with feeling full.
Possible enlarging of the stoma.
Still I crave. Help.
I've certainly found that with foods - I'm craving something, decide to make it, make it, and then one taste and it's done!

START: 325 Day of Surgery :309 GOAL: 180
I actually had my husband hide my scale so I won't get on it until the 1st of March. I had been stalled for almost 3 weeks and was getting so depressed and thought "this sucks - I don't even want to know what I weigh". It's much better NOT to know. I do know that I must be losing because I went shopping Saturday and had dropped 2 pants sizes. So, that made me happy!
Meet the Surgeon Aug 1, 2011 .... hopefully the surgeons office is right and everything will go fast and I'll have surgery later this month.

My doc has me drink "double milk" (8 oz. skim milk + 1/3 c. pwd. milk) and I add a SF flavor to it and I have one @ mid AM, mid PM and just before bed. They get me 45 g of protein.
My surgery was 12/9....2 months today and I am now down 38 lb! Feeling good.
