I like, and my sleeve tolerates, all dairy sources of Protein, plus veggie sources--beans, peas, lentils, nuts, tofu, avocado. I also really love shellfish--shrimp, crawfish, lobster (ha! had some on a cruise, not at home, that's for sure).

Well I've ate nuts I do like them! chicken, ugh my sleeve doesn't like it anymore! I'm a month and a week out and my daily intake consists of cheese , nuts Protein Shakes, milk , kidney Beans, refried beans - kashi almond flax bars - almonds that's it! I've ate tuna and tilapia a few times a week! I love salmon but can't seem to find a good place to get it where it's not dry- other than dining out! Ideas are welcome ! Thanks for ideas so far I will use some of the ideas!

This search on Google can help: tofu recipes ("low fat" OR "low calorie" OR healthful)

Also, you can puree tofu in the blender along with some splenda or equal + Water or milk + fruit or Protein powder - even green leafy vegetables, such as spinach!. Puree it on the highest speed (I have a VitaMix). Add a few ice cubes and puree them as well. You have a smoothee. You essentially turntofu into a liquid. This pureeing technique works with firm, medium, soft and silken textures of tofu. I do find that different brands of tofu have different flavors. My own personal favorite brand is Mori Nu. You can order cases of Mori Nu online. But other people might find other brands to be better. Tofu always has helped me lose weight in the past. I hope that this information is helpful.

I use unflavored Protein from GNC. I mix it with applesauce. I got to have the applesauce ice cold. It has 21 grams of Proteins per scoop. I can't do vanilla, etc.

Peanut Butter on an apple, Hummus with some crackers. cheese with grapes. These are things m NUT suggested. Basically pair Protein with any carbs. I had asked for ideas of protein that wasn't meat. I have been eating this combos for the last week and lost almost 2 lbs this week. I was super nervous because it was new things but as long as that scale is going down and I am satisfied.... I'm good with it! Check our The South Beach books. SOOOOO many ideas!!!!

Hummus can be a great substitute for Mayonnaise on low-carb bread for sandwiches. There is hummus at Trader Joe's (I do not have a financial interest in Trader Joe's or any hummus company) with and without tahini. There also are many flavors.

We buy our Salmon at costco if you have one by you. It's amazing! Grilled with lemon pepper and fresh lemon slices. My husband also picked up some Protein pancake mix at a Vitamin store. I figure that will be a good once in a while source of protein also.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
