Okay, so I am almost two months post op and so far everything is absolutely fantastic except i am always leaning toward everything protein and by the time I eat like 2-3 oz of protein I am totally full and don't get more than a bite or two of veggies in, if that. I haven't even ventured near fruit and I miss them both terribly as I was an avid produce eater before surgery. Worst of all, I am now experiencing major constipation or pooping bricks. Anyone else have this issue? I really miss my fruit and veggies and feel like a slave to protein...........

Btw, I also drink a protein shake once a day that has 45 grams of protein.

I don't believe in that Protein first rule. I know if I eat protein first, I'll be too full to eat any veggies. So I will usually eat some veggies first. I get plenty of protein through my Protein drinks so I don't worry about it.

I snack on fruit. I like to cut up an apple and put Peanut Butter on it. I eat which ever fruit is in season. In the summer, its blueberries and strawberries.

I also drink Miralax every day because I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I just read someones post earlier who mentioned Miracle Noodles they are carb and calorie free I checked out website and I definetly want to order some, Someone else said they are the same as the noodles in the TOFU and meatless section I think there made up of mushrooms but they are white. Check out the website, Miraclenoodle.com

I haven't heard of Dreamfields Pasta? What is that...is it low carb by any chance? I tried the Mission whole wheat carb balance tortillas this week (small -fajita size) and they have changed my life! I made a mini-pizza on one (Eggface recipe) and grilled cheese sandwiches! Yummy and I love finding a lower carb bread I could eat.

Now if I can find a low carb pasta my life will be perfect!
