It will be 6 weeks on Tuesday since I was sleeved and Im wondering if I can eat Pasta, bread, deli meat??? The only thing I feel comfortable with eating is fish (tilapia my fave) but I know too much fish is not good so I'd like to try a couple more things that actually sound good.

Also I hate all the Protein drinks I've tried and know Im not getting enough in daily. Any suggestions?? I've tried.... Isopure, nectar Lemon tea and fuzzy Navel, Muscle Milk, EAS choc even tried vanilla from Lindora Yuck Yuck Yuck HELP

Thanks

All the Protein drinks sucked for me too.

Before crossing into the Pasta, rice, bready type items, try some chicken salad, tuna salad, and soft cooked meats.

The first times I tried bready, pasta, rice, at around 2.5-3 months out, they hurt severely.

I was cleared for deli meat on mushies. Try some rolled up with cream cheese that was a staple in my diet for months on end. The flavored cream cheeses are fabulous.

I too like the deli meat with flavored cream cheese, lite boursin cheese, laughing cow lite french onion...etc smear it on and roll it up! I also make mini frittatas with finely chopped ham and reduced fat feta. Mini meatloaves, meatballs etc also seem to go down good. Chicken, unless really moist (I use fat free gravy on it) seems to stick. Crab and shrimp do well too.

If you want to lose the weight, stay away from carbs now. As much a possible. Eat as much protein as you can (70) and the rest vegatable (carbs), nuts, etc. Although tiff turned me on to Dreamfields pasta, which has a very low glycemic rating. When I make it, no one knows it isn't regular pasta. I stay away from bread totally.

I think you should wait a bit. I tried and it just clumps. Not a nice experience.

I've only tried little tiny bits of bread and it went down ok, but we're talking tiny tiny bits.... but I'm trying to keep away from it as its my fav!

On the Protein front I found BSN Lean Desserts very nice - the choc coconut isn't as coconutty as I'd like, but the choc fudge was nice, the cinnamon roll is lush! I don't like banana flavour stuff but they also do 2 with banana in.... and a vanilla one too.

I also added some peppermint flavouring to the choc one for a choc mint which was good.
