Losing weight thanks to more protien!



Recommended Posts

I am happy to report I have lost 2lbs in the past 4 days, I have been upping my Protein, eating a ton of veggies and some fruit - no breads due to them getting stuck!

173.5 and today 171.5, I can't wait to break the 170's finally. I feel good, clearer, healthier, my skin is clearing up and I have energy!

I agree, I lost 30 pounds in 2 months and I was going protien crazy. Like 70grams a day...

I'm new to the No Carb way as well ..... I also can't do just liquids. in fact, i can't do ANY liquids!! I drink tons of Water , and love my morning coffee, but shakes? smoothies? Protein Drinks? No Thank You !! I could never drink a meal... it doesn't work for me at all. I gag , to be blunt. I never set out to be a No carber, but since most bread, Pasta and rice get caught or stuck, i really dont have much choice. I do, however, get carbs in other forms, so technically i'm an Occasional Carber :-) dairy, sugar, etc...

What are some of your favorite foods that you fill up on? I LOVE fruit, but cant eat much of it any more :-( I'm also limited on the Veg that i can digest, which really stinks, as i actually DREAM about veggies! lol

As far as meat, I like Rare steak, Fried / Broasted chicken ( Dark Meat ), Chicken Strips, and ALL seafood. I can eat Lamb Chops on occasion, but not crazy about pork, except for Ham and Bacon ( go figure )

Thought ? Suggestions? :-D

I stocked up on Protein this last shopping trip...chicken, tuna, eggs, cheese, stuff for chilli, and Protein shakes.

are there any high Protein Snacks that anyone can recommend?

how'bout high protein sweets?...I make vital wheat gluten flour walnut Cookies with Equal and Splenda Brown sugar...they are pretty yummy...

Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat GLUTEN Flour

serving size:1/4 cup (3/4 cup used for batch of cookies)

23 grams protein per serving of flour

6 grams carbs per serving of flour

blend flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 cup walnuts, 1 egg, unsweet applesauce or 1/4 cup butter, 8 pkts Equal & some Splenda brown sugar to taste & bake @ 350 for 10 minutes...

I do best when I focus on Protein first. If I get. Enough protein in, like 70 grrams, I don't feel hungry & I have more energy. Like Premiere shakes from costco as a meal substitute or as a snack. Also, eggs, tuna, lean hamburger, greek yogurt, lean steak. Isopure drinks too. Fat free cottage cheese and milk. I add fresh fruit. Proteins seem to really help me not have cravings.

Hello, that is a great weight loss, sorry but I am a bit confused as just starting to get back into low carb, is 70 grams about 2 t bone steaks or could you give me a rough idea in meat that 70 grams would be? thanks so much.

      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.
