erp got a reaction from Momonanomo in 10 week post op appointments
To get my calories up, I added healthy fats like avocado and hemp seeds. I stopped buying low fat cheese (except string cheese and babybel- prefer lowfat there). I also added more fiber rich foods like carb balance tortillas, fruit and veggies. My carbs are up but they are healthy carbs. I did add one food that could be considered a slider but it is healthy, dry roasted edamame, 1/4c is 130 calories and 14 grams of protein. I can eat 1/2c of those buggers. I would try for 800 cals for a couple of weeks and then 1000 after that.

erp got a reaction from JennJitters in First attempt at smoothie 3-16-13
Smoothies can't be all things at once, i.e. greens, fruit, protein, and dairy. Your better off picking two: fruit and veggies; dairy and protein, etc. Spinach is easier when you are first starting, kale can be a bit bitter at first. Dairy is tricky in smoothies with greens, fruit and OJ or water is a better base. Start with more fruit than greens the first few times and slowly change your ratio as your tastes adjust. Green smoothies are delicious but an acquired taste.
