can you help me, please?

i dont get to see my doctor or nutritionist til i get new insurance, and i seriously can wait to get a fill, i havent had one at all, cause i been sick (nausea) for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 months (got surgery on 7/31/09)and just started feeling better at the end of december which was when my insurance ended (i had blue cross blue shield child health care plus) i really need one cause i get hungry a lot and i was thinking maybe i get hungry quicker because i wasnt getting enough protein?! (duh!) and does Fiber make you full too, or just make you go to the bathroom? im gonna have my mom get more fruit so i can eat those instead of making bad choices and it does help lol (i feel bad) ugh but yeah and apples keep me full for a while so ya, i made bad food choices for a while but maybe because i didnt know what kind of protein foods to eat? i eat chicken and eggs.. im gonna start eating greek yogurt again and cottage cheese...but yeah can you help me?

Egg yolks are high in fat and contain no Protein - try to stick to the egg whites, if you can, that is where the protein is.

My FAVORITE ready-to-drink protein shakes are chocolate PREMIER shakes...I get mine at costco (similar, but better than Sam's Club) 160 cals, 30g of protein and 1g of sugar.

For powder I like the Believe - Ice Cream Cookie flavor

and also the unjury chocolate.

CHOBANI greek yogurt comes in flavors, Peach, strawberry and Blueberry. I get them at my local grocery store or at CostCo. 14g of protein in 6oz containers, 140 cals

I add raw spinach in with my shakes, to get some extra Vitamins and minerals.

I have a VitaMix blender -- BEST ONE EVER!!!

Great for smoothies, soups, etc.

I stay away from chicken - it gets stuck. But LOVE the fishes, and beef.... though!!

GOOD LUCK!

thanks :biggrin: i dont have to worry about chicken getting stuck right now, i dont have any fills yet and i cant wait to get my first one, ive been banded for almost 6 months! dang! but yeah good ideas (:

Erin, be careful with the bananas as they can be constipating. However, eating a peeled apple each day will help with that problem if you have it and adds Fiber to your diet.
