Also... how are you preparing the fish? Are you breading it? Frying it? Broiling it? Poaching it? Are you using sweet or fatty sauces? This can all make a difference. What veggies are you eating and how are you preparing them?

I think it will be very helpful to discuss with the nutritionist. Good luck!

I am a plain Jane when it comes to cooking. I grill my fish in the air fryer. I only eat green veggies that are steamed… I am super picky. Not to mention I hate weird textures.

Thank you…you too!

I cook my fish in the Air fryer as well. Canadian white bass and Orange Roughy seasoned with lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder it is really good. Fish is the Protein I eat. Plant based is the food style I follow it is challenging though. I tend to do better if I have something to follow already planned out. Like the plan I brought home after the surgery.

I was Drinking 6-8 Premier Protein shakes plus 1 solid meal for dinner

^^^ I did worse than you. I was Taking in too much Protein.

Now I’m doing Whole Foods for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. If I’m hungry aside from that, I drink only 1 premier Protein Shake during the day. I’ll have surgery in a few months. I wish I was losing a lot of weight but I’m not. Pcos and fibroids makes it extremely hard to lose more weight.

You are doing great!!! Just drink 1 shake a day or none at all. Save the shakes for the liquid pre op diet. You got this!!!🥰😍

I too am lactose intolerant and love fish as my Protein choice! I found I got less picky after surgery because my choices become more limited for a while. I used OWYN Protein Drink. There are more choices on Amazon. I did not use shakes except to taste until the pre-op diet. I lost 75 lbs before the pre-op sticking to eggs, and fish for protein. My dietitian has a range of protein for me to eat daily. Your dietitian will probably have that for you too. It was very hard for my to loose weight on the pre-op and post op liquid phase. My dietitian (sounds so bougie) fingered out there was too many carbs in the drinks for me to loose, even though I was 900 cal. or less. (Irish potato famine and Holocaust descendant). Each person is unique so it’s really a trial and error experiment to find what works with you. Having a professional who’s seen this before has helped me figure out what is sustainable. You can do this! Making mistakes just means you learned a new way to try instead.

I am not sure why I am just seeing this and it looks like you have some good suggestions already but I just want to add that I have been on premiere shakes since day one and I am losing so I second it that it’s not the brand. I would also limit the avocado and nuts during weight loss phase. They are healthy fats but still fats (at least make sure you are measuring and counting the calories).
