I really liked canned corn and canned green peas... so I sometimes make a "salad" of the following ingredients:

canned corn

cottage cheese

ground beef, pan seared with seasonings

mix and serve

the corn can be substituted with canned green peas, also I sometimes combine both peas and corn together.

the beef can also be substituted with canned tuna fish straight from the can, or turkey, etc...

What do you guys think? Looking at the nutritional facts of the ingredients, it seems to be high in Protein, and not all that bad in carbs.

3 weeks out - 30lbs down

It sounds good but I was told to say away from corn. I'm almost six weeks out.

I was told to not eat beef for 6 months. Weird huh?

i am not supposed to eat corn either.

Awww, I love corn

I miss corn so much, but I was told to stay away from it until about the 4th month when I can start eating regular salad again.

The only thing I can think of is they tell us to stay away from certain foods for 6 months becasue they are high in fat or high in sugar or carbs. This hinders weight loss and your first six months are when you will lose the most weight. I think they tell us not to drink for similar reasons. I think my surgeon just gave the sleevers the same book as RNY, Which does not make sence to me becasue we do not dump.

I pretty much got the same nutrition guidelines as the RNYs from my surgeon. I'm hoping, though, at my first month follow-up visit that he clears me for 'real' food sooner than is on my schedule.

I think I can have corn beginning month 3.
