I have found a new love in fish, tilapia and mahi mahi yummm!! Tilapia can be broiled or baked and has 22 grams of Protein in a 3 oz portion! mahi mahi has 25 for a 3 oz portion! and no carbs to boot!! I used to hate fish but since surgery I can't seem to get enough of it =) YUM! Broiling it is my favorite though =)

I have problems with Protein shakes too, YUCK! Something about the texture and aftertaste ... BLAH! I know I have to have the Protein Shakes for now until I can get in enough meals to cover it all so I cheat LOL I go to smoothie king and get the gladiator strawberry powder with a few strawberries added in a 20oz smoothie and it is amazing! 45 grams of Protein and 3 carbs! Takes me about 2 hours to get all 20 oz in but it solves my protein problem so it is worth it!!

Have you Googled "VSG diet plan" or similar words? Many surgeons post their diet plans and offer a variety of suggestions.

As for the suggestions for soft fish on previous post - you can go to a local Trader Joes for all of these options.

I like to wrap deli sliced ham in provolone cheese for a snack in the morning between my Protein Shake, and lunch. Two wraps is about 20 grams.

I ordered some NOW whey flavorless Protein powder. It made everything I mixed it with smell like my old hamster cage I had when I was a kid.

HAHAHA! And this is precisely why I have not ordered any! lol

My go-to food to up my Protein is sashimi. tuna or salmon. 6 - 9 gm of Protein per ounce, depending on the cut.

I also rely on hard or semihard cheeses. Gruyere and Irish cheddar are my current favs. :)

Visit an online store that specializes in WLS. I like www.bariatricchoice.com. You can get a variety of products that are high in Protein. I really like the Fruit Drinks.< /p>

i live of of tilipia, egg whites, and greek yogurt.

You can get individually frozen 4 oz filets of tilipia at Walmart. You can bake them or george foreman them, and I have every kind of of Mrs. Dash available to change up the flavor.

Egg whites-I use liquid egg whites. 9 tblsp is 15 g of Protein. I add a little salsa, cheese, spinach, or even hot sauce to change up the taste.

I hate greek yogurt too, but i got some sugar free Syrup to add to it and it really improved the taste.

I also bought one of those little plastic Popsicle maker containers and added my Protein Drink to it to make Protein popsicles. :)

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!
