In looking for good high Protein, low carb, low sugar meal choices I'm repeatedly directed to Paleo recipes...I have to say that after looking at several I'm thinking this is the way for me to go...is anyone else on board?

Do you mind if I ask what it is? A type of diet? Have not heard of it. I guess I could look it up uh. :) I won't be eating for almost another 4 weeks anyway.:(

Paleo is a lifestyle of eating like our ancestors did millions of years ago (or so they say!). No preservatives, lots of Protein, low carb. No bread, rice, Pasta - just things that used to move or grow. I think it's low in dairy also. My stepson is into paleo.

I can't go without carbs! I tired Atkins a few months ago - lasted 4 weeks before I caved. At least with paleo you can eat lotso fruit (can't with Atkins).

Good luck with it!

I looked it up, sorry I can be a little slow sometimes. :rolleyes: Sounds like a good food plan and it makes sense too.

Just today heard about it for the first time. A phlebotomist was telling me how great she feels after eating this way for a month. Don't know if I have the will power but sounds very healthy.

would it really be that hard? I mean I was kind of under the impression that we were allowed very limited carbs now that we are banded anyways...I know that my mother in law was banded over 3 years ago and hasn't had bread since...she said she can't b/c it gets stuck....

I don't know, maybe I'll be a modifyied Paleo dieter!! LOL I just notice the high Protein and that seems to be what is what we should be after.I'm still on mush now, but am definitely looking forward to 'real' food.< /p>

Also, just curious, I'm at day 10, I was losing pretty good ever since the liver diet, now I stopped and I'm hungry!! Will I stay at about this weight until my first fill?

Everyone one is diff, so you can't really tell. For every yes, you will read a no.

I unfortunately can eat bread, never been stuck on it, so have to make a conscious effort to stay away. I usually do.

I know I can't, and don't want to give up dairy. So maybe I'll follow your lead and be modified too!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
