I bought a six pack at costco but I have seen them in most of our local grocery stores and Walmart. It is a product of Thailand imported for us by Vancouver. I hope you can find them in the states.

General tso's tofu from Whole Foods. Probably not the best as I'm sure the sauce has sugar, but every once in a while SO good.

Per my nutritionist....4 meals a day (three meals plus a snack) 200-250 calories per meal, 20 grams of Protein per meal, 15-20 grams of carbs per meal.

So 800-1000 calories, 80 grams of protein (goal is at least 60), and 60-80 grams of carbohydrates.

Hope this helps!!!!!

I am not able to take in that many calories. I've tried three meals a day and a snack. I just can't get it in. Maybe that's why my weight lose is down to about 2 pounds a week.

I'm the same. I am 7 wks post op and have lost only 28 lbs. I gag or throw up all meat and gag easily at most protein. I basically have been living off of Cream of Wheat w/unsweetened almond milk, coffee w/cream for AM, unsweetened applesauce, organic crackers with Peanut Butter. Just started trying to eat 1-2 cheesesticks a day to get my protein in. I am going to start logging all of my food to really see what I am eating. I desperately want this to work, but since my weight loss is so slow, I am scared this is not going to work for me. I feel like I should have lost 40-50 lbs. by now. Started at 248, 219 this morning. Have chronic headaches and the canned shakes trigger headaches. With every bone in my body, I will do everything I can to be successful. I know I must get that protein in, and take my Vitamins. They make me gag too or make my stomach feel sick so I don't take them often. I'm wondering what average weight loss if for most folks at say 8 weeks? I would love to know if people stalled already at 8 weeks. I know I'm doing something wrong and want to change that now to get better results. Is everyone exercising? Taking all of their vitamins daily? Eating 50 grams plus of protein a day? Could eating a primarily carb diet cause my weight loss to be slow?

Tummy acting up so Protein Shake with PB2 and half a banana for me.

Hi,

Do you make your Protein shake from scratch or add the pb2 to a pre-made protein shake? I have some pb2 and wasn't sure what to add it to. I am having a difficult time getting in my protein, can't eat meat yet(7 wks. post op) or it makes me gag, so I'm getting my protein only through some Peanut Butter on a few crackers, and recently a cheesestick or two.
