What to eat

By CWCHASE

· 592 views

Hi All,

 

I am almost 6 months post-surgery (6/19/12) and have lost 87 lbs. I am now beginning to have trouble finding good low fat high protein foods to eat. I do get weak and light-headed especially when i exercise, so i question my protein intake levels.

 

Just hoping some of you experts had some recipes or good ideas on what to eat.

 

I am not drinking any protein shake just trying to get in by foods. How many of you who are at my stage still drink protein shakes?

 

Thanks for any info?

    Hi there,

    I had surgery 7-2-12, so pretty close to yours. I drink a Carnations No Sugar Added Milk Chocolate protein shake every morning (15g), then throughout the day I snack on one Adkins Advantage bar (1g sugar & 16g - 19g, depending on the bar). Right there is over 30 g of protein before food, I stil have a VERY limited number of foods that don't make me sick, so I'm planning on protein suppelments for a long time. I don't have any good ideas on what to eat, but hopefully this can help your protein intake.
