I eat a lot of chili's and soups. I can handle most everything except chicken and spaghetti and anything with sugar..... but I eat 1/2 of what I usually would have eaten. I love fruit, salads and anything with melted low fat cheese!

I eat everything except white carbs. No white bread (this includes pizza), no white rice and no sugar. My meals are 90% protein and the other 10% is a fruit or vegetable or whole wheat cracker/bread.

3 months post op. I have noticed with trying things here and there sugar free stuff makes me sick, chicken and turkey get stuck at times tortillas have a bad reaction. I stick to salad, chooped chicken, beans, chicken has to be very mois, yougurt, cheese, cottage cheeset, I haven't had much bread no rice, i avaoid anything I know my stomach will not be happy with or gets stuck the stuck feeling is the worst.

I eat EVERYTHING, however, I have become a label reader so I look for high protein, low sodium, low sugar, low carbs.

I have not had any problems with foods. I do avoid fried foods and candies.

I'm nearly 10 months out and I am still very strict.

I mostly eat the same thing every day:
Protein shake for breakfast.
Ff cottage cheese and peanut butter for lunch.
Protein and veggies for dinner.

I drink a lot of green tea, and have a skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks several times per week.

I really only eat protein, dairy, and vegetables.

lots of shrimp, fish, chicken (sometimes it settles heavy), protein bar for breakfast, nuts, cheese

I wondered about this also.now I know

Chili...any sandwich is on one slice of bread, and don't eat all of it, spagetti sauce could go over a lasagna noodle, or over cottage cheese--over a slice of cheese toast...cottage cheese with fruit, protein smoothies, deli meat hurts my stomach, chicken or tuna salad, most soup, whole wheat crackers (with cheese), NO Potatoes, 1 egg, Nature Valley 10 g protein bar (love it), salad with chicken ham or cheese, peas/beans, beef tips on very little rice, boiled shrimp, salmon, crab cakes...not much variety here, but I am ok with it.

I do yogurt, usually plain Greek Fage with flavoring from a SF Torani syrup, or the new Dannon Light 'n Fit cherry, which is my new "crush"; either Nectar protein powder in water or an EAS box protein shake; what Spotz once called "sandwich guts" which for me means light cheese, low sodium deli chicken or turkey slices, and cooked chicken on salads, or with salsa and light cheese. My program does not include any soups except broth, which I got too much of in the clear liquid stage so I avoid it now. Sometimes if I am out I get Wendy's chili, which is not on my program since we don't do beef or pork until almost at goal, but it is pretty lean, low cal, high in protein. For veggies I like spinach or salad stuff or green beans. Sometimes I will get a quesadilla and eat the meat and cheese but leave the tortilla (except for a bit now and then). We don't do bread, rice, potatoes, fruit, beans, peanut butter or pasta so mine is mostly meat, dairy, and veggies in some form or another. Lots more variety than I had the first three months though. I still can't tolerate fish or seafood, which I used to love and could eat shortly after surgery, but it doesn't stay down so I don't invite it any more!
