Try Quest bars. They're awesome and they're low in carbs. Most of them are 160-170 calories each and 20 grams of Protein.< /p>

I eat hard boiled eggs every day for Breakfast. Beans are high Protein. Peas, Broccoli, and spinach have good amounts of protein too. I love the Morning Star Farms Spicy Black Bean burgers. I spread a little hummus on them. Yummy.

There are also Protein shots you can take they are low in carbs and high in Protein, you can also look for soy protein and tofu.

You want to find things that are going to help your band work and more solid protein. How about fish?

Im not a big meat eater either but I do love elk and moose , salmon, tuna , turkey Jerky, Peanut Butter , Luna bars, Belvita Breakfast biscuts ( Walmart or most other grocery stores in the cookie aisle, I didnt like the choc ones but the cinnamon brown sugar are the best ! ) Also try almonds , sunflower seeds or Somersaults , a sunflower seed snack.

I love eggs, refried Beans and lentil Soups with less salt, tuna is great,also halibut. Add cottage cheese too. Learning to cook healthy green veggies also is a great way to get Protein in.

Scuba chic!!! What is that???

Lol! It's actually soybeans I think. They are green and the size of a large pinto bean. You can buy them in the pod or shelled, both in frozen food section. They are super high in Protein. I love them. Pictsweet brand has a microwaveable individual container that has them still in the Pod, sprinkled with sea salt. The container basically steams them in the microwave. I have bought the shelled ones before and steamed them too. Mmmmm yum.

Please google "the dark side of soy" first.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
