northcountyr1 199 Posted August 25, 2016 I'm 6 weeks out post op. Think I'm gonna have to start drinking more Protein shakes. Can't hardly eat anything before I'm completely full. Tonight..a tiny piece of roll, 2 fried shrimp and almost half a baked potato...I'm not sick, but full...so, back to shakes I go I guess.

Fredbear 397 Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) The fact that you are eating bread and potatoes gives me pause. You should be eating p rotein, not carbs. And vegetables, after you've eaten your p rotein (if you even have room). Carbs should be at the very bottom of a list of things to eat.

You may want to eat protein rich foods and not the roll or even potato. Rolls expand in your stomach and will fill you up and won't let you eat enough protein.

macaz 0 Posted August 25, 2016 I was told 3 small meals a day...protein first...then vegs and supplement with shakes...sleeved 8/25 Sent from my SM-S920L using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IBG1269 3 Posted August 25, 2016 Also not being critical -- you should talk to your nut. My carbs come from veggies -- never a potato or fish with breading -- my Dr. would rather me have shrimp sautéed in butter than breaded and fried. Always Protein first and sometimes only -- according to my doctor. Sleeved on 6/1/2016. good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hdw85 48 Posted August 26, 2016 The shakes are fine to go back to if you are not getting enough Protein in.. Just try to eat the Protein at meals first..I would probably really try to stay away from anything fried and any extra carbs though, we all know how hard this is..

Candygyrl 637 Posted August 27, 2016 I rarely do hard carbs. I had roasted sweet potatoes but had no room after my salmon. So i don't waste my time now. Protein or nothing! Its hard enough to get that in so I can't fool with nothing else. 8 weeks post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
