20grams of protein in 1/2 a sandwich



Recommended Posts

<p><p>today for lunch i tried something different for lunch. i had 2oz of white chicken in a can with Water (valley fresh white chicken in water) it has 1g of fat,15g of Protein and 70 calories and i added 1 tsp of light miracle whip(20 calories, 1.5 g of fat,) and put it on one slice of weight watchers rye bread (55 calories, 5 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fat) i like the weight watchers wheat bread better though. so all together there is 20 grams of protein and 145 calories and 3.5 grams of fat. after eating this i am full but if this isnt enough you could add some veg or fruit or something low calorie. i probably wont eat this everyday because i dont want to eat bread all of the time but its a nice change</p> <p>andrea</p></p> <p>i have to correct something. the bread has 5 grams of protein if you eat two slices im sorry but it still has 2.5 grams of protein which is better than none. is there any bread out there with more protein? if so let me know but im trying to count calories and fat also.</p>

I'm almost 8 weeks out and I haven't tried bread yet. I'm scared to. Everyone on here talks about how bad it hurts for bread to get stuck, so I'm afraid to try.....

my nutrionist told me to have one half slice once a day if i want or 1/2 of an english muffin. but i dont eat bread everyday. maybe you can try a few bites but chew it well and see what happens.

Aubrie, I had surgery 4 days before you. I've had one fill. If you don't have good restriction (the sweet spot), then I don't see why bread is a problem...at least it hasn't been for me. I don't make a habit of eating it regularly, though. One time I had half of a cinnamon roll (doughy bread) and another time I had one half of an english muffin. Just chew really well and start with little tiny swallows until you know how your body can tolerate it.

      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.
