i actuall did start my cycle today! i have had really irregular ones since the surgery so i had no idea. i use protein powder in my coffee for bfast. six star 32grams. 180 cals. then lunch i have 4oz of tuna, chicken, lean ground beef, or beans for protein, and same for dinner. follow protein with veggies. i just moved my portion size up to 5oz. supposed to be on 6oz but im full on 5. im following my surgeons plan to the T. it just broke my heart to see a 3lb gain. yikes. thank you any input is soooo helpful

Your surgeons diet is quite different from mine and given the strong reactions to your post I assume most folks here followed a similar diet as myself. I was allowed four SlimTime shakes per day plus unlimited clear broth, SF popsicles, SF jello, black tea or coffee and water. Nothing else.

FYI hummus and guacamole may be classed as a vegetable but both are higher in fat and calories than most other vegetables. Perhaps check in with your surgeon's office to confirm whether or not hummus, guacamole or cheese are allowed?

This is a good tool to get an estimate of how much you might lose each month

If I parsed your username correctly, I'm guessing you're female. Any chance this could be bad timing where you're in a stall, and also experiencing pre-menstrual or menstrual bloating? Did you eat anything salty yesterday?

Also, are you measuring and tracking everything you eat and drink? I'd double-check the calories on the things you eat or drink most often; one of them might be higher in calories than you thought.

Post a typical day's menu here and we'll see if we can identify any problems.
