I'm 5 weeks out and on regular consistency food. My plan is kinda strict, 3oz Protein for breakfast/lunch/dinner, no veggies/fruits/carbs/snacking

So I need ideas for new protein! I'm getting bored pretty quickly. What are some protein packed items that taste good? I feel like I've been living on eggs and cheese sticks and want another flavor!

I'm going shopping today and would like some suggestions of food :)

Thanks!

I tried canned turkey, made a salad with boiled eggs, onions, relish, garlic. Threw it in a food processor and it made a great meal.

Going to do the same for tuna and chicken. I tried hummus as well, going to try refried Beans next.

That sounds good KW, I love turkey. I'm sure the canned one is not as dry and the turkey breast I tried and threw back up.

I have a pork tenderloin thawing in the fridge now. I'm going to marinate it with some olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, dill, and parsley for a couple of days. It's actually 2 smaller tenderloins in the same package. I roast at 425 for about 30 minutes and let it rest for 10-15 min. The meat is super super lean and easier to get down than chicken, which I find to be more dense.

According to my Lose It app, a 3 oz portion cooked is 122 calories, 3g fat, no carbs, and 22.2g protein! It is super yummy...give it a try.

Yum! Thank you! I haven't tried pork yet, but chicken goes down well.

I love grilled fish. Just a small amount but easy to get down. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
