Maintenance phase snacks and other protein ideas



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I was sleeved Dec. 7th so far I'm down 50 lbs. Kinda getting bored with the same old Protein song and dance of cheese, chicken,yogurt looking for other ideas like nuts (what kinds,how many oz.)and any other snack or meal ideas. So far I've not had any problems keeping things down or pains (fingers crossed) so all ideas welcome :) Thanks

@@Kindle,

Great list! I am intrigued by the cottage cheese/ muscle milk idea. I will have to look that one up.

Don't know that there's anything to look up since I made it up..... I did a lot of experimenting with Protein powders early on. I basically just stir the cake batter Protein Powder in the cottage cheese and maybe add a splash of milk if it's too thick. Sorry, I don't measure stuff so I can't give you an exact recipe. I've sprinkled crumbled graham crackers on top for a super yummy treat, but that may be too many carbs for someone that tracks.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
