So, I'm transitioning in between phase of full liquids and pureed foods. I'm trying to figure out how to get all my Protein in while staying below 50 carbs. According to my Baritastic app, I'm eating about 60 carbs per day. Now, I'm under the assumption that I'm supposed to be eating 50 or less per day. I've been trying to ask my NUT, but she's super busy and doesn't seem to reply. My Breakfast is usually a 1/4 cup greek yogurt. lunch is a shake or Soup with Protein Powder. dinner is either oatmeal, soup, or cottage cheese. I've been drinking shakes every day for 5 weeks. I'm so tired of them. I need to find a better source of protein that has minimal carbs and fat.

My protein goal is 70-90. Carb goal is less than 50. Fat goal is unknown, but I know that it shouldn't be much.

There’s debate on whether your carbs must be that low, what does your doctors plan say? I kept mine that low during my loss phase.

Simple tweak is to get rid of the oatmeal. I didn’t add that back in till I was at goal. Check the carbs in your shakes, some are higher than others. I chose one with no carbs. Also check your Soup, some have higher carbs than others.

Does your Greek yogurt have added sugar? There’s another spot you could lower the carbs.

eggs would be a good addition and so many ways to make them. No oatmeal. I think the broccoli and cheese Soup has lower carbs, but check the labels. I won't have a puree stage but I think I would do scrambled eggs, Protein Shakes, sugar free pudding, egg drop soup, cottage cheese.

I make instant sugar free pudding with Fairlife milk and Protein powder added in. It adds a lot of protein for not so many carbs.

I agree with the others who suggest to lay off the oatmeal, especially twice a day.

I use baked chicken breast pureed with a little Bone Broth and greek yogurt and that is 9 grams per ounce. I eat 3-4 ounces throughout the day. Cottage cheese is 3 grams Protein per ounce and I eat 2 ounces per day. 1 PP shake with my AM coffee is 30 g protein. That is a total of 63-72 grams of protein.

2 grams carb for the cottage cheese, less than 1 total for the chicken, 3 for the shake. I also eat some garlic mashed cauliflower about 3 ounces per day (I carb)

I do add some Land of Lakes light butter to the cauliflower and about 1/2 teaspoon Duke's mayo per serving of the chicken. I honestly am not worried about a moderate amount of fat and will not be using any fat free stuff....just nasty.

My program does not allow any eggs, oatmeal, pudding, milk or Soup at this stage. liquid stuff just runs through the pouch and does not lead to satiety.....so they say. My surgeon is against eggs and I do not know why. I can have fruit but I see no reason since I am satisfied. My next things to try are tuna and black Beans.

Thanks! Ok, no oatmeal. Got it. I'll add the Protein powder to my pudding. I don't know why I keep forgetting the powder. I had tuna today. I usually don't eat tuna, but I really enjoyed it. I added cottage cheese and Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Kids approved, too.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
