How does this food creation of mine sound?



Recommended Posts

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 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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
