I am three years out and need a diet to follow. Since moving and starting a new job I am beginning to gain weight. Does someone have a diet/food plan I can follow for 3 months? Anything will help!!

 

Thank YOU!!

I am in the same position as you. I am regaining and stressing out over it. I got my old paperwork out and it says Breakfast= 2 oz protein, 1/2 c starch, 1/4 c fruit; Lunch- 2 oz protein, 1/4 c starch, 1/2 c vegetable, 1/2 c fruit; Dinner-2 oz protein, 1/4 c starch, 1/2 c vegetable, 1/4 c fruit......8 oz water per hour and sugar-free liquids between meals. This is what it says for 11 months til goal weight. Three meals a day only and no snacking in-between. Choose low-fat (less than 5 grms fat per serving) and less than 10 grms sugar per serving. Protein first. I don't know if this helps....I think I am looking for ideas of actual meals.....I need help too. Keep in touch and let me know how it goes.

People post daily to the VSG board in a thread called "whatcha eating today?"  So that might be worth checking out.  

My forever diet from my surgeon requires 60-80 grams of protein a day, at least 64 ounces of water, and 3 meals a day with no snacks.  My meals are supposed to be 4-8 ounces each and take no longer than 30 minutes to eat.  

It's not a three month diet, though, this is how I'm supposed to eat for the rest of my life.  

Here are the basics I try to stick to.  

1. Prioritize protein and water
2. Deprioritize carbs, especially the refined and processed ones
3. Make the most of healthy fats
4. Eat three meals a day with no snacks
5. Avoid liquid calories (breakfast protein shake is the exception)
6. Weigh portions
7. Eat mindfully and with no distractions aside from real live people
8. Move as much as possible
9. Weigh myself daily
10. Be kind to myself

Everyone copy and paste Gwen's list and carry it around with you. She is so right on target!
