I made sauces and dressings with it as well as adding to shakes, so yes, can definitely make satay with it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon is 100 percent fine with coffee. Do I have six cups a day? No. I have one cup, or I take a Premier protein to the coffee shop, have them steam it for me and add a shot of espresso.

I'm six months past bypass and 15 pounds away from goal. I have amazing energy, eat high protein and low carb, do intense work outs four days a week and do yoga the other three. I have a great support team at my surgeon's office, check in with his nutritionist regularly and go to support meetings his office holds. I didn't realize how sick and tired I was until I was no longer sick and tired. Zero regrets here.

I'm five months out and my surgeon said I could have a cocktail on my birthday, at the end of the month. He gave me the caution of alcohol hitting harder than before, but I've always been a 'one and done' girl anyway. So one cocktail, sipped slowly, it will be.

Mix three bananas, a half cup of cocoa powder, two scoops of Protein powder and a half cup of no sugar almond or Peanut Butter. Scoop into mini muffin cups (lined) and bake for 15 minutes at 375. Store in the freezer. Tastes just like carpet underlayment but vaguely reminiscent of a fudgy brownie. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Yep. It's kind of insane isn't it? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Same here. Flinstones chewables or Centrum chewables. No gummies, ever. And no patches because they haven't been scientifically vetted in any peer-review journals.

Time to summon that same courage it took for you to get surgery in the first place and tell the FB crowd they should go ahead and block you. Harder to do with family, I know, but with your parents try a sweet smile and an, "Oh I know! But isn't it great that I can be healthy now and for the rest of my life?" It gives them no place to go with their cruelty. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon was yes on Flinstones, although I've switched to Centrum chewables (with his approval) because the flavor is less cloying. He's an absolute no on Patches, because the patch companies have thus far not shared research or proven that patches work. I also take liquid b12 once a day and his office advised I should start on Calcium chewables as well. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My nutritionist wants 70 grams of Protein a day and 100 grams of carbs, with calories at about 1,000 to 1,100. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Add: I don't do that amount of carbs, but I try to get the protein in. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Sonoma Creamery cheddar or Parmesan crisps, available online or at costco (and presumably Sam's Club, since I think they're the same thing.) Six crisps have a total of 10 grams of Protein and 6 grams of carbs. You can also top them with slivers of meat, refried Beans, etc. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
