prdmommyof3 0 Posted February 22, 2016 Wow....what did they say to change about your diet? She said that I;m not eating enough Protein or eating enough calories. She said to aim for 30 grams/protein a meal, yes 3 times a day, and to supplement with a Pshake twice a day as well. It's quite overwhelming! So far, I've found that the Jenny-O turkey burgers for lunch & dinner are my best bet, since they're right at 30 grams of Protein. They take about 45 minutes to finish, but I can finish one now. Breakfast is the hardest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prdmommyof3 0 Posted February 22, 2016 I had gastric on 1-12..one month ago. I've had no troubles, no nausea, and I can eat anything...and I mean anything including sugar. salad and meats are not a problem either as long as I chew well. My concern is that I don't feel the restriction they said I would feel when I started eating solid foods. I have to really be on my game or this isn't going to work for me. At my two week checkup, the surgeon said I could eat anything. I took him literally and I haven't lost a pound since. Monday I started meal planning and weighing my foods so I can start losing weight again. I have to remind myself that the surgery was a tool and not a fix. How is it going now? Have you been able to start your loss again? I'm on week 2 without any loss, and had surgery 1/11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brindall 17 Posted February 22, 2016 Hi! I had my surgery on 1/27 and have been doing great! I've lost 15 lbs so far and am very happy with that as I was probably on the lighter side to begin with. I have also been diabetes free. I'm still on puree but go to soft foods this weekend. Any suggestions on foods that are high in Protein? I don't think I have been getting in all the protein I am supposed to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NovaL 41 Posted February 25, 2016 Hi All, I had surgery on 13/01 lost 7kg in my first week, then hit a stall for two weeks! (THE HORROR!!!) I avoided the scales for 3 weeks back on the losing wagon but a lot slower! It might be the January curse and blessing in disguise - I have little to no restriction so decided to start putting extra time in working out. My transition to food has had no limits but my food choices have changed drastically: I have salad with everything! Good carbs: brown rice, couscous, quinoa; Protein - of course. I did feel I was the only one but glad to know I'm not. But better food choices = results. Started weighing myself again so will see if there is continuation in progress!

MoodyMama 0 Posted March 15, 2016 I had surgery 1/19. I've had 2 subsequent surgeries for complications, but seem to be holding my own now. It's good to read how everyone deals with different problems, I can use all the ideas I can get! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
