After WLS: What is a Regular Eating Plan?

After six years of living with gastric bypass I've finally come into a regular eating routine where I no longer fight against the gastric bypass nor do I battle the head games associated with eating restriction. I seldom snack which I believe is the key to having maintained my weight loss.

After six years of living with gastric get ahead of I’ve finally come into a regular eating routine where I no longer fight vis-a-vis the gastric pike nor do I fence the head games wed with eating restriction. I don’t hope in what I do day-to-day is perfect but I know it works for me giving me optimum energy and good health.

Over time I’ve found if I strictly control my food choices for supper and lunch I can open up a bit more freedom and occurrence in my evening meal. In fact, I enjoy wonderful variety and flavor in my evening meals. I seldom snack which I trust in is the key to having maintained my weight loss.

Kaye’s Regular Eating Plan since WLS

For coffee break and lunch I eat the same things closely every day. buffet supper is most often 1/2 cup cottage buttermilk with 1/2 cup of Kashi Go-Lean High Protein botanic or cottage certified milk with 1/2 cup sugar free jell-o or cottage cream with 1 hard-cooked egg. I also have a cup of fawn thereabout an hour from breakfast. (Coffee is not recommended during the phase of weight loss.)

For lunch I enjoy tuna mixed with a little miracle whip, or fried lightweight fixed the same. Sometimes I'll have shrimp (6-8 peeled) or those imitation seafood flakes. Usually I add a piece of low-fat mozzarella buttermilk and then some fruit, whatever is in season. If have lunch out I'll order a salad with the quitter and eat the broiler and taste the salad. I may order a sandwich and eat the insides, not the bread. I may taste the bread, but not eat much of it.

Now for dinner: that is when I get my variety. I cook at home just about every night of the week. I enjoy learning new recipes and often experiment with finding "safe" foods that both my husband, a normal eater, and I will enjoy. We eat fish twice a week, overseas bar and pork frequently and red meat once a week. We have essentially eliminated starch such as potatoes, pasta and rice from our regular diet. Remarkably, neither of us miss it or the heavy feeling it brings. Side dishes are generally steamed in-season vegetables or shirred vegetables such as winter squash.

I imagine this all sounds very blah and basic. It took a long time to take over that if I eat my safe foods for dinner and lunch I will feel good and chemically equitable all day. Dinners seem like such a treat seeing that of the variety, so it is working for me (finally!). It takes a long time to resolve and yield assent a regular eating plan, but once established it feels like a quiet place to be.
