Two Great Protein Finds



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried Cabot Sharp Extra light cheddar cheese? It's 60 calories and 9 grams of Protein per oz? I think it tastes pretty good, too. I have also started using Special K20 protein Water. It has 30 calories, 5g Protein and 5g Fiber per serving. Both are kind of pricey, but I'm trying to find any way I can to eliminate the 2nd Protein Shake. Thoughts?

Haven't tried the Protein Water, but the Cabot Sharp is DELICIOUS! It doesn't even taste like low fat cheese. The only issue I have is that you don't get much for the price.

So, you're a few days out from your surgery, right? How are things going? :)

Things are going great. Just started puréed yesterday. Putting some chicken salad in the magic bullet as we speak. I go back to work for a 12 hour shift tonight. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for asking. How far out are you? Do you mind sharing your stats?

I'm not due to be sleeved until at least February. Believe me, the date can't come soon enough! :) I'm 260 and would like to lose 100 pounds.

Glad to hear you're doing OK! :D

Yes I have tried both of those and enjoy them both. Also the Cabot also has a extra light pepper jack cheese which is 70 calories and 8 grams of Protein.

      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!!
