Hi all! I'm eight weekd out and still stalling. Trying to think positive. Anywho...I'm a rice fanatic but I'm trying new things. Is quinoa ok for us sleevers?

Quinoa is a good source of protein but at only 8 weeks out you should maybe wait a bit longer. Quinoa is easy to over eat and may cause some discomfort this early on..

At 8 weeks out any grains or simple carbs felt like bombs in my stomach.

What has your caloric intake been like? Your Protein? A stall is to be expected with your time frame. What I did to beat it was to keep tracking the food, upping the protein and eating less carbs, and exercising and within a week I was losing again. You'll get past this!

I've heard a lot of good things about quinoa replacing rice

They have it now as a puffed cereal I like to munch on it... That is the only way I like it so far...You can get it plain or cinnamon..Yum!

My calorie intake hasn't been great. I may be getting 600 calories in daily

My surgeon's ARNP suggested Quinoa to add to my soft food diet. She said it is a complete protein. I had never heard of it before. Where do you buy it?

I got it from my local grocery store. It was on the same aisle as the rice. Instead of cooking it with Water I used organic chicken broth. It absorbs flavor very well. Surprisingly, I really like it.
