Has anyone tried tofu for low calories for your preop diet to lose weight in order to have the surgery? Is it any good? How do you prepare it? Sent from my G60 using BariatricPal mobile app

Nasoya pasta zero are really good noodles, I made chicken noodle soup with them the other night and added some garlic seasoning. They're made out of the konjac plants root. Sent from my G60 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you

Has anyone tried keto pills before your surgery to help lose some weight? And did they help? Sent from my G60 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you so much! This will really help me and give me more food options.

Has anyone done a 1200 calorie diet for like 2 months straight (eating healthier foods) and then cheated and ate something you haven't had since before your diet then had an allergic reaction to it? I cheated on Christmas day and then again yesterday and ended up having my throat close up on me, could hardly breathe. I didn't eat anything new that I've never eaten before.. just hadn't eaten those things for the past 2 months. I feel like my body is punishing me for cheating lol Thankfully though those situations made me decide I'm not cheating again. Sent from my G60 using BariatricPal mobile app

It's weird though because I haven't had my surgery yet. But it does make sense about our bodies telling us we can't eat certain things anymore.

Thanks. I'll have a talk with my doctor. But after experiencing this, I'm definitely sticking to my diet and won't be straying from it again.

That's what I was thinking too, I've been eating gluten free stuff since I started dieting and since we found out that my son has a gluten allergy too.

Christmas day I had some hawaiian rolls, turkey and mashed potatoes. Yesterday, I had a burger king chicken sandwich and fries. Only thing I could think of is the breads.. but i used to eat bread all the time before this diet.

I'm using keto max 800

So update on my preop diet to lose 20 lbs by May 6th... I've already lost 30 lbs since I started dieting 20 days ago! I really didn't think it would be this easy. I've been staying at 1300 calories a day, drinking my whey isolate drinks and I've been taking these keto pills too. I've started taking a multi vitamin as well. I can't wait to see how much I lose by the time I meet my surgeon. Sent from my G60 using BariatricPal mobile app

I actually started using a different tracker called Nutrionix track. I was having to do a lot of my own google searches for nutrition labels for myfitnesspal because the calories were wrong to a lot of things on there. Sent from my G60 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, I'm new to this. Today I just got the call that I've been accepted into molina's bariatric program. Lots to do within the 6 month period! I'm trying to decide which surgery would be the safest way to go and less invasive gastric sleeve or gastric bypass?? Also does anyone have any tips on losing the 15 lbs required for the surgery?

@GradyCat no problem. Look for them in like where you would find tofu, i promise these aren't tofu lol but they already come cooked so the bag is squishy just have to heat them up with broth or whatever you want.

I tried Sunrise banana tofu dessert last night and it really wasn't that bad, it was kind of like pudding but with water instead of milk.. and i drained as much of the water as i could.

Thanks.. my aunt found some banana tofu, i guess it's supposed to be a dessert and I had to ask before I even went to try it lol

I asked my doctor the other day about if I was getting too much protein because I do 1 protein drink in the morning and 1 at night so i get like 150% protein a day.. he said I'd have to be getting way more protein then that to be too much. But I have lost 6 pounds in a week which is awesome (while being on a 1200 to 1300 calorie diet). Sent from my G60 using BariatricPal mobile app

So, I've been trying various calorie trackers and just came across one that has the actual nutrition label information for every food you eat! It's called Nutrionix Track and it's in the google playstore. I've been using calorie trackers for just over a week now and I have lost 6 lbs already (going from 310 to 304) and that's staying around 1300 calories a day. I'll definitely have the 20 lbs off by May 6th so I can get my surgery! Sent from my G60 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah, the technology today is a life-saver! Wish we had all this back in the 90s lol

Thanks! You keep up the good work too! 💗

So I just tried Body Fortress chocolate flavored isolate protein powder and it's really good and a lot cheaper than other powders. I'm actually surprised that the powders are not as bad as the premixed drinks! Sent from my G60 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks. I didn't even think about getting labs done for the protein. On my app like yesterday it said i had 154% protein.. is that something i should be careful with? Can you have too much protein?

I'm already looking forward to my protein drink for today. It seems like it's more filling then those premixed ones i was drinking

Hope it goes well! Wish my surgery was that soon. You'll have to keep me posted on your progress 😊
