A break from Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

Just thought I would pass on what helped me stay SANE during the PRE-OP and I also have some of this in POST-OP. Of course, consult your doctor to make sure it is OK for you and your plan. My doctor had me on a liquid diet 800 calories or less. The mainstay of my diet is fat free cottage cheese - a powerhouse of low calories & Protein. Fat free Greek yogurt is another one of my main staples. I also love a yogurt drink called Keefer from Publix that I can have a few sips if I don't have time to eat and it fills me up for few hrs.

Lasagna - fat free cottage cheese, spaghetti sauce, small amount of Parmesan cheese

Mexican - fat free cottage cheeses, salsa or nacho cheese

Spicy Yogurt - fat free Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, red pepper (or Toni's seasoning)

Rice pudding - fat free cottage cheese, Truvia sweetner, cinnamon

Tomato or other Soup w/melted cottage cheese for more protein

Diet protein Soups

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
