How far out are you? I ate chicken noodle soup post op but just the broth... for some reason it tasted better to me then just chicken broth.

Only suggestion I have is quest bars which are not home made but are absolutely awesome... Except the strawberry cheesecake it's gross!!! Great protein and fiber

Congrats girlie... Every time you see those sweets think about how far you have come!!

You can do this!!! Congrats on the weight loss so far and for getting a date!!

Aw Jenn... just think of all the protein you got. There are days like that... try eating slower to give your mind a chance to catch up with what you just ate. You got this.. girl you have come so far and I am proud of you.... Keep your chin up girlie!!

welcome to the boards!!

hate to hear that girl... hang in there!!!

emt... my doc suggest 70-90 g protein a day. I do not count calories or fat just protein. Think atkins diet. DL Coggin has a list of high protein foods.. If you message him he will email it to you. Good luck bud!!

Woohoo!!

Welcome to the boards!!

Great news... Finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

I believe the girl pregnant with twins found an obgyn that had dealt with pregnancies with rny patients. Do some research. Good luck hun and what a blessing!

Stay away from the carbs girl!!! Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, almonds, laughing cow cheese, quest bar, baby bel lights... Better options to name a few!

You look awesome!!

Pffttt if they don't work... I have been using jergins firming with collagen... It makes my skin feel wonderful and it smells really good. Only 4 bucks at Walmart!!!

Yay Vicki... Woohoo!!!

Good to hear from you

Remember hormones are being released with the fat like crazy. About month 3 you guys will feel fine!!!

Ok so gastric bypass I have learned is like religion or politics everyone has there own opinion and yes there are people that have failed and yes there are people who get sick. If you follow the protocol that your doctor and nutritionist have set out for you , you will be fine. My daughter took a nutrition class also this semester and her prof. Told her she needed to have higher carbs... I mean really wth!!! I'm sure you did extensive research before surgery and know you made the right decision. Don't let someone who hasn't probably done half the research you have make you second guess your decision. Hugs!!

It wasn't really until my 3rd week post op I started concentrating on my protein... What you guys need to worry about right now is staying hydrated.. There are some horror stories on this board of those who did not stay hydrated and ended up back in the hospital. Good luck!!

Good luck and welcome to the boards!

See already getting good news... Hope you get your approval soon!!!

Well on your way... Woohoo!!!!

I was told malt O meal, how about some of the creamy soups.. If u like bean and ham soup it's got pretty protein and felt good on my tummy at that stage.
