Morningstar farms grilled what is that?

Morningstar farms grilled what is that?

Morningstar Farms is a line of vegetarian products in the freezer section. Their "griller" is a vegetarian burger, and they make veg sausage patties, "chick'n" patties and other stuff. Seems like they sit well with me, sometimes better than actual meat, and are really high in protein.

How many carbs are in that stuff. I thought that they replace the meat and fat with sugar type binders. My doctor was adamant about reducing any type of sugars.

Well I'm three months out and chicken or it seems like most meat except hamburger is NOT happening. I was thinking since it's not actual meat it might sit well. I am wondering will we ever be able to eat rice at all??? Any rny vets out there have the answer. I know we shouldn't have a lot of carbs but sometimes it would be nice to have a smidgeon.

I had my surgery dec 31. As if today I'm down 78 lbs. can't believe it. Happy happy girl today.

Yay! I had mine on Dec. 16th and I'm 85 down. It's a great feeling.

My hair is starting to fall out some. Not happy about that

Mine was 12-20... Down 70:) my hair is falling out some too. Luckily it's very thick so it's not yet noticeable. Had a stricture, dilated 2 weeks ago. Finally feel like I can eat like I should. Still have some aversions to food though...anyone else?

I feel like the further I am out the worse I get on what I can eat! Beans are very good but meat is uh uh! I feel like I am going backwards I don't know?

I still can't eat meat. I have to force myself to eat most days. Nothing sounds appealing. I'm tired of the same old things. I had blood work done at my 3 month check up. I'm not deficient in any vitamins so I guess what I am getting in its doing what it should but I do struggle daily.

Me too...meat is really hard. It's easier for me to eat at lunch time, by dinner I'm kind of done. I do a smoothie with Greek yogurt, frozen strawberries and cran-grape juice for breakfast, protein bar mid morning and a decent meal for lunch. If I feel like I can't eat what I'm cooking for my family I will do another smoothie for dinner. At least I'm getting good protein and liquid in. It's still a daily struggle. First overeating and now under eating.

Lilly is the Greek yogurt ok with the strawberries in it because I do not like the taste of it by itself?

I'm three months out and meat just ain't my thing at present. I can eat shrimp, fish, hummus, and ground meat so I think that's plenty good. I'm keeping balance with veggies, protein shakes, nuts, seeds, yogurt, fruit, water. I've never eaten this healthy in my life!! So little alcohol I could join the convent. Maybe one cup of coffee a day with lots of nondairy creamer...It's crazy! I did have an endoscopy procedure about a month or so ago and that helped greatly. I have trouble with water and exercise which are now my goals. I had my three month check up today with bloodwork so I hope my schedules have been working. We will see in a week with the results. I'm on my fitness pal and have a nice group of people supporting each other that helps! Best to everyone!

Any flavor will do.... I like the lime one in a smoothie with frozen strawberries. Just make sure you are getting the low sugar ones...they are like 100 calories

I have found Greek yogart from Dannon light that has 12 g protein and 2 (I believe carbs) and is 80 calories! Taste good in a protein drink. I mix with a scoop of protein that is 25 g protein and a drink of protein that is EAS low carb high protein! Get about 50-60 g protein.

I find that eating the "main" mealnis easier at lunch time. I exercise after work and really am not hungry. I force something simple. I have noticed that I am eating a bit more than about 2 months ago. I am loving my fit bit aa ot seems to keep me on track. Was told that I need to eat more and exercise less. NEVER have I been told that!
