for those of you who get your Protein from the foods you eat, could you list some for me.

I want an idea of things that i can eat with high protein instead of relying on powders and supplements.

I cannot have any artificial sugars. I cannot even have steva (sp?) or splenda. They all give me terrible Migraines.

I have gotten reccomendations of a Protein Bar and egg white supplement that seem both to be safe from the sugars i need to avoid, but i would rather stick to my food getting the protein i need...

any suggestions?

I'm sure there are others who know way more than me but here's some that I found to be good.

Fish- Just about any kind although I think cod is up towards the top as far as Protein, also calamari is a great source of protein but be careful as it can be chewy and don't get it fried.

Cottage cheese- It's basic but gives you good protein

Eggs- I usually have them scrambled or boiled

Hamburger- Make sure you get the extra lean type

Those are some of my big ones. Hope this helps you. For the first few weeks it will probably be hard to get enough protein without powders and supplements but once you get to mushies and regular food it gets much easier. Make sure you follow your doctors guidelines no matter what as some of these foods you wont be able to have for several weeks.

Good luck!!

      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.
