    Syntrax and Jay Robbs are my fav brands and Designer whey is okay..
    Also, not sure if its acceptable but PB2 (powdered peanut butter) is a nice addition less cals, fat, carbs than real PB

    Another recipe I found
    MONTEREY chicken
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1/4 c. bar-b-que sauce ( SF)
    1/4 c. real bacon bits (you can use real Turkey bits)
    1 c. colby and jack cheese, shredded (fat free/weight watchers or reduced fat cheese)
    1 14 oz. can Rotel tomatoes, drained (canned with green chilies added)
    sliced green onions
    pepper
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pound out chicken breasts to flatten. Season with pepper. Grill chicken until no long pink (we used our George Foreman grill) and place on baking sheet covered with foil. Top each chicken breast with one tablespoon bar-b-que sauce, 1/4 c. cheese, 1/4 c. tomatoes, green onions and one tablespoon of bacon bits. Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes).
    ***This is the first time we marinated the chicken breasts before cooking and they were great. You don't have to though. Marinade: 1/4 c. olive oil, 2 T. soy sauce, 2 tsp. McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning. (We only marinade about a half hour or the meat gets too salty for us.)

    I drink the vanilla EAS with 6 oz of fat free lactaid, it's really smooth and tastes good. Congrats on your weight loss. A friend of mine told me his friend died from losing weight too quickly after surgery so I'd rather have the weight come off slow and steady.

    The Greek yogurt that Aligayle suggested is also loaded with probiotic cultures - baskillions of them which are very good for our digestive health. Keeping things moving along and healthy is important!
    I know that when my losses slow -which they have recently I look at basics - LilDiva's bootcamp plan works wonders - really up the Protein, the Water, take ALL Vitamins (I have been known to be selective if I am really over the flavor of a particular chewable - i am at the point that I am transistioning to more capsule forms though which helps) make sure you get all of your Calcium, move your body.
    Just getting my 64 oz or trying to hit 128 will make me drop weight like crazy.

    My husband and I drink the Premier Protein brand you can get from costco or order online. They have vanilla and strawberry flavors as well as chocolate. they are RTD and are about $24 for a case of 18. 160 Cal, 30g Protein, 3-5 carb depending on flavor, 3g fat.
    I pick up samples of shakes when I see ones that look interesting - some are horrid (cannot do Muscle Milk ever! They smell almost like acetone to me) and some are tolerable, but the Premier brand is one we have in the fridge at all times - one case of chocolate and one of vanilla
    And congrats on your loss so far - you have achieved a lot! Don't forget where you started

    I love my coffee, which was really hard for me to give up when I first had surgery 2 years ago. So, I found a protien that was not sickenly sweet or overly think.
    Cappucino Protein from Family Bariatrics.com. 7 packets for around $12 ish. I still drink them when I am on the go and can't meal plan. Now I make with half Decaf coffee and half fat free milk. Shipping can be expensive so maybe search your local area health stores or bariatric stores to see if they carry any.
    Finding the right Protein is essential to weight loss and keeping healthy. Sound to me like you have lost a lot of weight so far. Quit beating yourself up and move forward. Maybe walk a little more or lift weights in the comfort of your own home. Internet has great videos on firming up those saggy arms, legs or for me, my non existent rear end.
    Good luck and keep searching. Know I spent hundreds of dollars finding the right protein but when I did, it was all good.

    I had the same thing about one month out. You didn't do anything wrong. Avocado is a good fat and shrimp is a perfect Protein. 22 pounds in 6 weeks is great. Keep rocking your sleeve!

    Rosikah reacted to ChooseToChange in Calorie Confusion,   
    I swear by the myfitnesspal ap and online site. My surgeon actually uses my profile to follow my progress since I went out of state for my surgery. I am now 8 months out and I find myself in the 1000 calorie a day range. Then it takes exercise out of your daily intake as well. Most days I sit between 800 and 1000 after exercise calories.
    Just remember.... Protein first, veggies second and you won't have room for more after that.
    If you want to learn more tips and tricks from an 8 month-er that has learned a lot send me a message. I am also a skype coach that helps with menu planning and support via phone, skype and in person here in Tampa.
    Talk to you soon!
