Looks pretty good (except really watch that sugary fruit intake!)....but I have to ask - you're not including your water count in this, are you? I hope you're getting lots of fluids (besides the tea) in your day :>)

At 5 months post-op, I don't think you are eating enough food. You should be able to eat more than 2 oz per meal. Also, are you drinking a protein shake with your meal? I couldn't figure it out from your post..keep in mind that the body only absorbs around 30 grams of protein at a time, so if you are having a protein shake and 2 oz of meat at the same time, thats a waste, besides the fact that its a no-no to drink and eat at the same time..have your protein shakes a good hour before or after a meal.
