Eggface rocks. I keep trying to steer the newbees over to her site. I starting reading her blog pre-op. She's the one that made me realize that I could still be a foodie and lose the weight. I got the Hamilton Beach soft serve maker. All last summer I made multiple varieties of the Protein ice cream. It really works and it is ever GOOD!

She is of the super strict crowd. She doesn't even eat crackers and uses cucumber slices in lieu of. No Pasta either. She shreds or slices zucchini. She even makes protein muffins' date=' protein donuts and is a wiz with leftovers. She even has a cheeseburger meatloaf recipe in keeping with the topic.

Every time I see a post about people hating Protein Shakes, I want to force them to make hers. I actually look forward to them and still drink them.

BTW, The Hamilton Beach one was about 30. It comes in retro colors too.[/quote']

I love Eggface's site, but bought her recommended brand of protein and HATED it... Different strokes, I guess... I am sick of protein shakes and have to gag them down... I try to get as much protein as I can from food...

Sometimes my kids get pissy about ground turkey I don't know why because it all we ever buy ( yet I still got fat) so I buy Liptons onion Soup mix and an egg and add it to a pound of turkey. Worst part about it is mixing with your hands yuck! :P

I wear surgical gloves to mix ground meat for burgers or meatloaf...

Ok so all this talk of cheeseburgers has got me craving one. So tonights dinner is Jenny O turkey burgers, 200 cal, 16 grams of Protein, 2% american cheese, 45 cal, 4 grams of protein, hamburger bun, 120 cal, 4 grams of protein. I can only eat 1/2 for a total of 183 cal, 12 grams of protein. Probably too many carbs but overall not bad.

chicken burgers with finely chopped onion and red/green peppers mixed in are delicious. I eat it with no bun and dip it in hummus or Greek taziki (sp) sauce.

I agree that this thread is a good read.

If u do indulge in a burger try a veggie burger ... If that doesn't cut it.. Make homemade thin sliders with lean meat and on a healthy bread.. Try trader joes or whole foods.. And I hope you enjoy it .. And let me know how it goes :) and when in doubt consult with your surgeon.. fudge these hypocritical haters on here

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
