I stumbled upon this recipe for a Protein packed overnight oats recipe that I've been eating almost every day and I'm loving it, maybe someone else will like it.

Before bed I mix a container of greek yogurt (12g protein) and a scoop of Protein Powder (the brand I use is 20g per scoop). Once it is smooth I mix in 1/4 cup of milk (4g protein) and a packet of high protein instant oatmeal (10g protein). I put a handful of frozen berries on top and put it in the fridge until morning. When I'm ready to eat I mix it all up and it's very good. The total protein ends up being 46g. It's more than I can eat in one sitting but I usually eat it for Breakfast and lunch and if any is left as a snack later.
My favorite flavor combo so far has been raspberry yogurt with a scoop of chocolate powder and frozen raspberries.

Want to loose weight? Nah, I don't think anyone here on a board about weight loss surgery is interested in loosing weight. Nice try!

first...talk to your nutritionist if you have questions
pureed foods don't have to be completely liquid, textures like cottage cheese and oatmeal are already that consistancy
I never pured anything, just mashed them up with a fork.

One of my favorite things is a version of an eggplant salad
take an eggplant and prick it with a knife a couple times, then roast it in the oven until the insides are very soft. then toss it in a food processor with a spoonful of mayo, some salt, and a squirt of lemon juice. Traditionally you also add tahini but I'm not a fan of that
also if you're having trouble keeping things down maybe go back to liquids for a little while longer

is alcohol really that important that you would risk having a possible complication during surgery?

I had the sleeve in Sept 2015. To date I have lost 225lbs (includng pre op diet)

I am 9 months post op and going through a dicorce. We would have been married for 10 years in September. After having surgery and loosing weight I gained some self confidence and my eyes were suddenly open to how emotionally abusive he was and to all the classic warning signs that he was cheating.

I am 8 months post sleeve...my worst experience so far? Not doing this sooner!!! I have no negatives

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while

My dad is in the process of getting his sleeve, he's scheduled for July 5. Unfortunately he just found out that his insurance denied him because his BMI was under 40. I know his BMI is over 35 and he has diabetes, so I don't really understand why he was denied. His surgeon is filing an appeal. My question is just to aleviate his anxiety, has anyone been successful with getting an appeal approved? And yes, I know it all depends on your individual insurance. I just want to be able to tell him that people have been successful with an appeal.

He's so frustrated with the whole process, all the tests he's had to go through, he's already had to reschedule once and this may just make him loose hope on having surgery at all.

When you enjoyed shopping for a dress for a relative's wedding....and at that wedding people you haven't seen in a while flip out over how good you look

Also when you run into your ex-husband who you haven't seen in a year and he stammers and says you look amazing

how is eating a couple of wings post op crazy? The whole reason to get the sleeve is to have restriction and not to be able to eat a lot. You are doing fine. Any loss is good.

I haven't told anyone but my immediate family about my surgery so personally I haven't had many of those comments. But I know others who have
Mainly people seem to think that surgery is "cheating" that you could have just exercised and ate less and that was it. Well that doesn't work for everyone. There are people who can do that and be successful long term, but most people can't. How many of us have cut calories, exercised,starved ourselves, only to have lost just a few pounds.
Surgery is just another tool in the battle to loose weight. All the surgery did was change the shape of my stomach. I still decide what goes in my stomach, and I still have to choose to exercise. I can be bad and eat junk post surgery and gain weight, or I can be good and follow the plan and loose weight. The surgery was just a bit of help, most of the work is still up to me

I had pizza for dinner tonight. I ate as much as I wanted which ended up being abou 3/4 of a slice. If I want Pasta I have some pasta

For me i went with the sleeve because it seemed like it was less restrictive, and the idea of completely rerouting your insides wasn't as appealing.

In my opinion I think you can have your pina colada and enjoy it. You probably won't be able to finish it but ENJOY IT!!!
