What does your program allow? All are different.

My week 4,5 &6 allowed the following protein: canned tuna, canned salmon, white flaky fish, egg in any form, low fat cottage cheese, lactose free skim milk, plain yogurt, low fat cheese, Beans.

Call your nutritionist and talk specifics with them.

It's the same food plan. But I fill like I need more or missing something. It's very hard

It is very hard. I'm not getting enough Protein but my practice told me not to worry about it. It will come with time.

Are they letting you have protien/meal replacement shakes? I think my program allows for shakes to be sipped through the day if more protien is needed or if we're not getting enough nutrition. I would suggest asking the docs office or nut

Pretty sure the only thing that helped me get through that stage was "egg salad" and chili.

I made the "egg salad" by scrambling some egg whites then mixing in mustard and fat free Miracle Whip.

I did attempt to mix in the occasional tuna salad, chicken salad, etc..., but nothing else really tasted near as good to me.

As for noodles - nope, they're not allowed in my program. However, I have recently started having zucchini "noodles" which definitely satisfied the craving I had for Pasta. But I doubt I'll ever be trying regular Pasta again.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
