So.. I'm almost 7 weeks out and I need advice!

[Heather86 :o) 29]

Like the title says, tomorrow I will be 7 weeks out. I had my surgery on December 10th. I am having trouble finding foods to eat that are higher Protein, but still have lower Carb and fat content. Can any of you recommend what your favorite things have been post-op? I've been doing Greek yogurt, chicken breast and egg whites a lot, so hopefully someone has some other suggestions for me. I appreciate any insight you can give me! Thanks in advance!

Eta: if anyone would be willing to share their typical day's menu, that would be awesome! Thanks again.

I heard about those and saw them last time I went to the grocery store. I didn't get any though, because the sodium content worried me. Frozen meals are usually loaded with it... It seems like the more sodium I eat, the less weight I lose.

I eat Beans very sparingly because of the carbs. I do enjoy them, but when I eat more than 20g of carbs a day, my loss slows down. How are the carbs in the edamame?

I do like to cook, but would also like some fast options, if anyone knows of any. I have this blog bookmarked on my phone for reference. She has a lot of ideas/recipes that I want to try.

The edamame has 12 g carbs, 9 g Protein. I know their high in sodium...but I still never even touch the daily allowance.

Have you tried some Shashimi?

[Heather86 :o) 29]

Have you tried some Shashimi?

Is this like sushi? I seem to have a lifelong seafood aversion.

[bigjoe 2]

Yes. Sushi without the rice. Excellent source of Protein. And is very easy to go down and digest.

I used to also have an aversion but I got over it by keeping in mind my food menu would have to change due to my WLS. You can do it!

How do you season it? I've never had it before, but I'm interested in trying it.
