I'm a little more than a month out from my revision (band to sleeve) and I love reading the "what are you eating today posts". Such good info. VSGers...can you post some food products you cannot live without? I'm taking notes on items to try.

I try to avoid food "products." I do, however, have a protein shake every morning. I mix optimum nutrition double rich chocolate with syntrax mint cookie and unsweetened original almond milk. Yum.

Aside from that, I love cow. I love flank steak and skirt steak the most. Definitely wouldn't want to live without those!

Ha...I definitely meant what food. I don't eat a lot of products either. Was just curious on what yogurt, protein shakes (if you do that), etc. are popular now days.

There are a lot of great for us yogurts on the market these days. I don't like yogurt enough to eat it regularly, but I eat it whenever I'm on an antibiotic. I like the Dannon Light and Fit Greek in peach flavor in those cases.

I've started buying a London broil every time I go to the grocery store, which is once or twice a week. I guess you could say that we eat a bit of it at our house :-p
