ok..let's see here.. eggs don't go down well for me, so is sometimes have tuna salad for breakfast.. i have 2-3 protein drinks a day...and my favorite protein bar is the "rockin roll peanut".. you can buy it at the "vitamin shoppe".. it tastes like a candy bar.. i can only eat 1/2 at a time! i eat a lot of salmon..chicken is still a problem. i've tried filet mignon.. it's ok..but i eat it very slowly.. salads are good with ranch dressing..and so are cucumbers. i haven't tried anything with sugar(i'm afraid to!).. haven't tried pasta which was my favorite preop food and haven't tried bread.. also wendy's chili (about 1/4 cup) and 1/4 of a baked potato go down well..

LC; I'm on the go for breakfast and lunch, so I eat protein bars or a protein shake for those meals. I actually eat the same thing for breakfast that I did pre-op, but now it takes me a lot longer to eat it. I usually start "breakfast" around 9am and finish around 11am. I start "lunch" around 12:30pm and finish around 2pm. Dinner's for me depend on if my hubby's in town as he's the cook in our family. When he's in town, we frequently have chicken marinaded in something or crab cakes. I can eat about 2 oz of either of those foods. If he's not in town, I sometimes bake two mozzarella cheese sticks (from the frozen section at the grocery) for dinner. I've also found I can eat one chicken finger with a little ketchup, so that's another option if I'm on my own. For snacks, I eat soy nuts, almonds or string cheese depending what I'm in the mood for. Occassionally I get a hankering for crackers, so I'll have 2-3 of the Ka****LC Cheese flavored crackers. I go through phases with beverages, I alternate between plain bottled water, flavored bottled water, and iced tea. I don't specifically limit my iced tea intake, but I don't crave more than 2 each week. If I start craving more, I'll start really watching it, but since it's not in excess, I'm not concerned at this point. My surgeon doesn't recommend cereal, so I haven't had it post-op. It's not very high in protein and the thought is that eating cereal with milk is the equivalent of drinking while you're eating and the food is possibly going right through the pouch. Hope this helps. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 187 / ???
