 If I'd known you'd be posting it here, I wouldn't have posted it there.  I'm sure a few are falling out of their chairs from what I eat daily.

i eat what I perceive a normal person would eat, although I am heavier on the fats and lighter on the carbs. I can tolerate a small ommount of any carb but don't want to overdo it because I am starting to regain.

I'm 4yr and 3 months and have not had any regain (knock on wood.)   

I've never counted anything although I had  pretty good feel for that stuff going into this.  I guess in the beginning I used to kind of check that I had 4 groups of 30 g of protein per day.
 
I'm lazy and don't usually do much formal cooking except for making pulled pork and chicken broth and also grilling outside.  I mostly like plates of meat and cheese.  And snacks of nuts and greek yogurt.  Lately I've been on a corn on the cob kick (that's corn on the cob with an equal amount of butter!)  Sometimes I do baked potatoes or broccoli. I drink Lactaid milk and sometimes make a soy shake.  Dessert is usually frozen yogurt or Hershey's chocolate.

I think we are all quite different. I tend to be a bit of a lightweight in what I eat even at 4 years post-op. Here is a typical day for me lately:

1 large protein shake with coffee, heavy cream and 2 scoops protein (50 grams worth)
1 can of progresso soup, about 16 grams of protein, for lunch
2 sticks of string cheese and a small handful of mixed nuts for snack
Half a chicken breast and veggies or salad for dinner
Maybe some chips or popcorn for snack

Yesterday I had my protein shake, an arby's small roast beef sandwich with 1/2 the bun, 3/4 of a small fry, smoked gouda cheese dip and pita chips, and 2 glasses of wine ... that was it for the day. I don't eat a lot most of the time.

I'm trying to pick up the protein on a daily basis and some days go better for me. It depends on what food I've got in the house. The more protein I have in the house the more I eat of it.

 I eat a LOT!

Today.....

Breakfast:   Two fried eggs and four smoky links
Lunch:         Two small bowls of posole (pork shoulder and hominy soup)
Snack:         Potato chips
Dinner:        Frito pie - chili, cheese, sour cream, over a small amount of corn chips
**    I'm about to have some cheese or greek yogurt before heading off to bed

I eat pretty slowly, and sometimes eat half of a meal then more later.     I also snack quite a bit, but did not as much today, as I had time to eat slowly, and thus consume more in a meal.

 I know I will get in trouble for this, but I don't even bother with a food log until about two weeks before my dietitian/ surgeon visit. My surgeon does a 5 year follow, an I suspect it is for research purposes.  I did sign a consent form for that as part of my pre-op paperwork.

I didn't t mind at all.  The world needs to know about this surgery, and the lives it saves from SMO!
