You are one of the most helpful participants on this network. I am curious as to how you achieve 90 Gms of Protein a day without a couple of Protein Shakes because it's difficult to eat the quantity of food Required to get that much amount of protein in 4 Meals a day.

It is pretty easy. I was doing it most days by the 6 week mark. I was able to eat maybe 3 ounce of soft baked fish at that point. My program wants you off protein supplements and eating real food as soon as possible

Eat Protein first at every meal.

I don't eat American style Breakfast foods for breakfast, not enough protein.

4 ounces of Cod is 20G of protein (3 ounces is 15)

All meals/snacks are protein, with protein first.

If you decide you have to have a minimum of 15g of protein per meal you can do it.

At this point I am almost 2 years out and I don't have an issue with hitting 120 to 130 a day.

I hear Dr Now tell people on the show to totally restrict carbs, fruits, etc. So why is the website so different??? Any input?

It's because, due to liability reasons, Dr. Nowzaradan and his handlers are far too astute to publish their real post-op diet on the world wide web.

It would be akin to providing medical advice to masses of patients who have never been assessed by the good doctor. Then when something goes wrong, someone out there wants to file a lawsuit.

There are no secrets or magic associated with losing a substantial regain. The dietitian or nutritionist at your bariatric practice will also probably waste your time by providing garden variety information about creating a modest caloric deficit of 25% each day to slowly lose the regain.

You indicated you're a nurse practitioner, so you are educated presumably at the masters or doctorate level. You have more than enough information on nutrition to lose the regain. It's really simple: to lose it, return to the basics that caused you to lose during the first six months out.
