Hi, DL. Would you mind messaging o posting for me too, please? My surgeon says 60 - 70 grams of protien.

Absolutely not a problem!

What are some of the apps for android?

Beth, I'm an iPhone guy so I don't know a lot about android. "My Fitness Pal" is recommended by a lot of doctors/staff and I've never read a bad review. I "think" that there are versions for both iPhone and android but I'm not certain. I use "Tap and Track" on my iPhone but there may be an android version as well. I know iPhone has a ton of other apps that do much the same thing. I started using Tap and Track because it had the highest reviews and I it does everything I need it to do. Some kind of logging, whether it's an app or just manually is a very powerful tool. I strongly recommend it!

DL...maybe you should start a thread on High Protein options? Sounds like we'd all like a peek at your list :)

Made the costco and grocery store runs yesterday. Freezer is looking much better with some good eats in it! LOL. Working on the list guys but the weekend is a little busy with the holiday. Got to spend some quality time with my grandson! I'll try to get it up on Tuesday at the latest. I'll start a new topic so that other folks can add to it as well. You guys have a great Memorial Day!!

funny how all bariatric groups are different. I know first out of surgery I'm suppose to try to get up to 60 oz of Protein a day but' date=' they said I won't be able to for a while.[/quote']

I think the requirements are different for men and women.

My nutritionist went over the formula for Protein intake with me and it's based on your height and gender.

Good afternoon guys! For those of you who were interested in my list of Protein foods - I prepared a simple Excel spreadsheet with 51 foods along with calories, serving size and protein per serving. Unfortunately, when I tried to post it, all of the formatting was lost and it would have been a nightmare to make much sense out of it. I also tried to attach the file to the post but got an error message indicating that I'm not allowed to attach that type of file. If anyone has any ideas on how I can add this to the forum I'd be grateful for any advice. As an alternative for anyone interested, if you're comfortable with sending me your email address in a PM, I'd be glad to email you the file. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry - I tried.

      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!

      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!!
