here is a kitchen treat tip :

Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt + Crystal lite lemonade powder = lemon Meringue

My eyes rolled into the back of my head it was soooo good

not bad for 18 grams of protien 15 calories and 0 fat

yipee

Your post made me creative! Lol I was thinking... Chobani pineapple greek yogurt. 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup milk, scoop vanilla Protein Powder, ice cubes... Blend and yummmmm! Instant Orange Julius! 300 cals and 35 grams protein... Pretty good breakfast! Lol

So I had mine done on the 24th of June' date=' I'm about to hit Week 6, what else is there besides scrambled eggs, chili, turkey meatballs, tuna w/ crackers' what else is there to eat ? Any suggestions ? I'm also drinking protien shakes .....[/quote']

My surgery was June 25th, so I am only a day behind you. I stick to cottage cheese or Greek Yogurt for Breakfast. One stick of light mozzarella string cheese works well for lunch. I have had a variety of things for dinner including steak, grilled chicken breast, grilled salmon, grilled tilapia, and many other items. I only eat 1 ounce of meat along with 1 tablespoon of a fruit, vegetable, or starch. I really enjoy the variety! I also drink 1 Protein Shake every day.

Thanks Sara Beth' date='

i was starting to think it was just me. im actually doing well with soft foods refried Beans. veggie chili. its the " real food" that is problematic, and i chew it until it a pureed consistance.

i think it may be baked products? breads, tortillas not sure why but it appears when ever i have an issue some baked was involved. im going to stay away from them this week amd see what happens.

Just to be clear im talking about one small bite and im feeling it.[/quote']

My biggest problem seems to be any kind of meat. It sends me almost instantly running off to the bathroom. Soft foods aren't to bad. I do ok with anything crispy. I just bought a few things from the frozen food section to try.im hoping something will work.

Just tried soft teriaki beef Jerky yesterday ( NUt recommended ) . had to wade through what seemed like 500 brands but found one that was in small bite size portions , low sodium had 12 grams of protien 3 grams of fat 18 carbs and actually tasted great , had to chew it for what seemed like hours but in the end no problems.

Im sure you will hit on a combo of food you will like , I have 2 healthy choice steam Entrees in my fridge in terrified to try ;_ ) . Never thought i would not want to eat ... for now im hitting my numbers and that is all that matters ill worry about the rest later .

Good to hear the crispy thing is working for you, now want a plain rice cake ,,,, how sick is that :-)

Have a great week ... as always, your awesome !! and keep rocking the weight loss you hottie

5 week progress! I have lost 25-26lbs, so five lbs a week average. I will take it! Also 4 inches from my bra line and waist(around my belly button) 6 inches from hips and 2 inches from my arms. I have to admit that when I stalled for almost 2 weeks or only lost 1 lb I was disappointed but looking back and realizing I'm on on week 5 and have accomplished so much already is a great feeling. My work scrubs are all fitting much looser and coworkers have noticed! My sister out these pics together for me.

I celebrated a month out on the 25th. I am down 65 pounds as of today! I spent my afternoon cleaning the clothes out of my closet that I will never wear again because they are all just too big to wear. I can't wait to loose enough to do it again!

My scale did the same thing but my dad who only sees me once a week said I look thinner than a week ago. The scale doesn't know the difference between if I ate too much or need to poop or whatever haha. I started taking measurements of my waist, hips, neck. Going to watch and see how they change. I know I've been way more active and possibly picked up muscle. Maybe the same is true for you?

I can't tolerate any kind of meat and I'm 6 weeks out. NUT said Isopure since I already drink chocolate Protein Shakes. I'm getting real tired of those. Isopure is tolerable if I hold my breath. I tried crystal lite fruit punch with 1 scoop unflavored Unjury and it was better than Isopure(and a lot cheaper). Downfall is only 21 gms Protein instead of 40 gms in Isopure. My surgeon told me at least 52 grams of protein a day, NUT says 75. Whatever. I guess I'll shoot for something in between..

J-la,

per my teams NUT (she is awesome) you system can only absorb 30 g of protien at one time. so if something is 50 g of protien its a waste unless you space it out over a longer period. hope that helps.

I have a hard time with the after taste of Isopure. I wonder if you get used to it after awhile. I have also heard that you can't absorb more than 30 g at a time.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
