LIST THE PROTEINS YOU EAT(need ideas)



Recommended Posts

String cheese, tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, Protein Bars, scrambled eggs, taco salad. I don't like to cook so I will buy one of those chickens that's already cooked at Walmart. I can eat pieces of that for several days. I like the lemon pepper one the best. I can't remember who on here told me to dip it in spinach dip. I dip the breast in that because it's a little dry. That is very good.

yep the lemon pepper is the best now they have the garlic butter they gave me a sample one day it is moist and yummy but it is injected with butter so I will stay with the lemon

Don't forget--cottage cheese, walnuts are great so you get your Omega 3's, yogurt, lowfat string cheese, all the meats, fish, tuna, crab, shrimp, flax is also good for your omega 3's.

Make a 1 egg omelett with 2% cheese mmmmmmmmmmyummy.

Try to change it up so you don't get sick of the same things.

I'm 5 weeks out and have lost 25lbs and going to have my first fill on August 8th. Take Care, Leah

I'm scheduled to have the band on Aug.5th and my BMI is higher than they want so in order to still have the band on the 5th I have to reduce my BMI by a great deal. What is the best way? I can't drink those Protein Shakes they are awful.

CRABMEAT!!!

It's an excellent Protein, it goes down easy and it's delicious. My doctor even recommended it. I make crab salad, crab cakes...... I don't think it's been added to the list.

Lamb chops. It's not as dense a meat as beef, and is not as high in fat. I grill mine. I love it. You can also make lentil stew with the left overs, which is also high in Protein.< /p>

Hi ther i just found the neatest thing. You can get them at Walmart or any grocery store. They are a regular size can of tuna salad. They have 6 or so flavors. like sundried Tomato tuna salad and thai tuna salad, there filled with tuna and vegetables with a yummy sauce perfect can size for a meal with 17g of Protein and low calories. They are really good too. i caught them on sale for 1.89! now thats a cheap lunch. They even have a little spoon and a napkin.:)

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
