A lot of things are making me sick lately. I tried 3 meatballs got sick, some ground beef same thing. chicken only in chicken salad. So chicken salad, eggs made 10 ways until sunday, half turkey burger patty, and fish has been very boring.

I finally went to Walmart and decided to try some shrimp. I got the bag that comes 100-150 pre cooked mini shrimp. It wasn't expensive at all. I just threw it in a pan with some butter and garlic. 3 oz have 21 grams of Protein.

I ate 3 oz and didn't get sick so I ate about 6 more ounces. OMG it tasted so so good and I haven't been sick at all.

So if you want something else that is high in Protein definitely try these shrimps. You can get the bags at walmart in one of those coolers right before the meat section.

I am 7 weeks out and this is the first time I have been able to eat more than 4oz at a time. 2 eggs and I am so freaking full, more than half of turkey burger patty is enough to make me feel over full. I am wondering if these are considered slider foods because I am the same way as not being able to eat a lot of Protein at all but these went down too easy that is why I ate more. I guess shrimp is my slider food..lol

I'm 4-weels out and started mushies. I'm good with turkey meatballs, ground chicken salad, ground ham and mayo, re-fried Beans, and most soup...the exception being cream based. I'll have to try the shimp tomorrow. That sounds good. I've purchased salmon, talapia, and sole too. Thinkinng that fish may be a new friend. I stick to 3 tablespoon, and generally cannot finish that.

Seafood is my friend! I have started buying my shrimp at Sams Club because I eat it so often now. Shrimp and broccoli is my fav :) Scallops and crab legs work well too!

Wow. I can eat shrimp, but 3 large ones are my limit. I love them--and they're low in calories, too! I actually prefer them boiled and chilled, shrimp cocktail style.

Bellabr - I couldn't eat beef or pork until at least 3 months after surgery - and it has to be cooked moistly (think crock pot) or ground meat cooked with mositure (meat loaf). I could do chicken, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt and SEAFOOD. Shrimp and scallops and tuna and salmon are my saviors.

Thank you so much. I am 1 week post op, but staying ahead to make sure I have enough exciting things to keep me on track and not feeling like I need my old tummy back. Seafood and chicken are going to be my best friends. Thanks for sharing.

      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.
