My day of eating usually goes something like this: breakfast: 6 oz low or fat-free yogurt (sugar free or no sugar added) a small piece of fruit (usually a pear or peach or about 15 small grapes) or a slice of whole wheat toast with a tablespoon of lowfat peanut butter or one egg and one egg white one piece of bacon or 4 oz of cottage cheese 1/2 small piece of fruit Lunch: a can of tuna, drained (usually ends up being about 3 oz) 1 tblsp Smart Balance Omega 3 mayo 1 leaf green or red leaf lettuce (nooooo iceburg!) or something leftover from our dinner the night before or 4 oz chili 1 tblsp ff sour cream often lunch is the most creative meal of the day since I usually try to scrounge up something since it's only me home to eat at lunch. Dinner: this meal varies so much. My husband and sons and I all cook together and come up with some very awesome combinations. What's great about this is that we're ALL eating more healthy foods and spending that time together too! Our suppers usually consist of a lean meat (chicken, pork, deer, and sometimes beef) and a vegetable combination from recipes I have from a bariatric cookbook or salad or sometimes fruit I am usually pretty close to my protein intake if not above it slightly. I do not snack on food. For my mid-morning and mid-afternoon "snack" I drink protein drinks. I don't want to allow myself to get back into snacking. That was one of my bad pre-surgery habits. Have a super day!

None of my clothes fits me anymore...and i had a serious shopping problem before surgery so i have a huge walk-in closet full of clothes i can't wait even if i wanted to...lol...and not cause they are too small but because they are too big...i started out in a size 24 pants and now i'm down into a size 16 and that is a juniors 16...and i've lost all the x's in my shirt size now its just a large or a medium depending on the cut...my shoes are even fitting big and i recently bought a pair of 3 inch high heels and wore them for the first time this weekend without and problems

well i don't have many problems with food and getting sick unless i eat too much or too fast my menu usually consists of this: Bf: 3/4 south beach meal replacement bar mid morning snack: a small handful of mixed nuts or cheese and jerky lunch: i love the smart ones meals from weigh****chers i eat the ones that have meat and a veggie...usually about half then save the rest for dinner or lunch the next day afternoon snack: same as mid morning snack or some fruit dinner: the other half of my smart ones meal or some kind of meat and veggie...sometimes a bite or 2 of mashed potatoes or rice that is usually what my menu consists of will vary from day today depending on time and if i'm busy or not...if i'm feeling pressed for time i will just have a protien drink and count that as a meal. hope this helps remember o chew very throuoghly if not you will get sick...try different way of preparing foods too...that may help...good luck!

we are all doing so well...

Hey everyone! I am just curious about what we are typically eating on an average day. I know that I am not eating enough but alot of stuff still makes me sick. I try to eat a couple of slices of turkey bacon. I drink water thoughout the day. For lunch I try soup and veggies. Dinner I try to eat protein. So if you could give me a couple of tips, I would appreciate it. Thanks
