More Protein, Less Carbs

post-56603-13813670171776_thumb.jpg

Ok, so im trying to get only like 20-30g of carbs for weight loss and about 70 g of Protein. But im on the post op full liquids diet. But im only on Breakfast and i have a miniscule amount of carbs left. I cant find anything to help but my protein but still keep my carbs low. Ugh. Annoyed. Anyone have any suggestions? I based by protein, fat, and protein intake based on kaisers bariatric nutrition plan.

I'm wondering the same thing, what were you drinking to get so many carbs so early in the day? If I missed that info I apologize. On full liquids, it really helps to have a Protein shake you can tolerate. I really like the met-rx Meal Replacement shakes. The first one never tastes good, but after a couple they start getting better. I guess you acquire the taste.

My doctor told me during the full liquids phase, these things weren't super critical. Getting in my Water and walking were the most important things. He told me to try to get in my protein and don't worry too much about the carbs. Once you start eating, you will have so many more protein choices.

Wait' date=' who are you referring to?[/quote']

Um, you :D Unless I read the app wrong, it showed that you had consumed 22g of carbs & 24 g of Protein.

Not a very good choice at this point in your journey. Right now you need to maximize your nutrition with every bite. If you want to mix something, try mixing some Protein powder with some sugar free Jello mix or pudding mix?

But yes, they are good. My wife buys those and I tried one.

Well, it's not the worst I've seen.

But you are giving up 16 carbs and only beget ting 4 protien.

At this stage you really should be getting at least 2.5g protien per carb

I'd really like to see the info on what you are looking at mixing with it.

You would count that as 16 carbs? Not calculating the Fiber in there to focus on net carbs? Ooo but thTs a good one to focus on

2.5 Protein for every carb. Thanks!

I was at safeway today n looking at sugar free jello. Even the low cal sugar free jello pudding (chocolate) has super carbs. I saw a mix online called Better Bowls that has a low cal, low carb, high-ish protein choc pudding. Ill buy it n let ya knw:)

Yep, there is no great way to do it without protein shakes at this stage. It will get easier soon. I lived on scrambled eggs and chili for 2 weeks during my soft food stage and loved every second of it.
