I'd love to see the list also.

I never thought about crab meat. That is a great ideal. I will buy some when I go back to the market.

I would love to be able to access this list as well but it's not available. Does anybody have it who could forward it to my email address? You can send it to kristascoffee@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Hi all, I am due to be banded 13/2/08 and am nervous and afraid of failing(again) and concerned about what to eat so to pack in the best ingredients for health. Also did u guys have any strategies to get your head around the small amount of food (am wondering if one's mind will cope?) I"m Australian and live in God's own paradise in Coffs Harbour, hoping to fit in with my surroundings ha! ha!

Love this site and the sharing , nice to know where're not alone . Ps am not to flash on the computer yet either....thanks.

Thanks for letting me know about Iopure!! It's a big help, another shake I have found tasty is isopure

Where do you buy the Isopure? i heard you can only get this online. Let me know. The weeks of protein is pretty monotonous and it would help to have that protein, since it is what they used at Cedars Sinai after band surgery.

Isopure is at GNC, check to see if any are near you. They run sales all the time, and I love the chocolate low carb version.

Hey, can someone tell me where in the profile section to paste the weight loss ticker info so that my ticker shows on my posts?

Thanks,

Here is a terrific source of recipes for anyone who has had or is considering surgery. It gives the estimated quantities for various people (i.e. lap-band, bypass, and others who have not had surgery like family members), for each recipe. There are some really great ones in here too. It also gives the nutritional info for each recipe.

I got mine on Amazon.com for less than $12.

Here's the info:

Personally, I do not like the "milky" type Protein shakes... I have always been more of a gatorade type girl. I tried a lot of Protein drinks before I had my surgery so I would know what I liked and didn't like.

You can buy samples of protein drinks at Vitalady.com. I think she has a few hundred different types. I paid $1.50 for each sample (which was one serving... 34.5g of protein). The "Nectar" lemonade flavor is really good :rolleyes2:

She also sells this really cool battery operated mixing/drinking cup. I bought one... just to try... then went back and bought FOUR more!

I absolutely L-O-V-E "CytoSport" Protein drinks (the tangerine tastes just like Sunny-D). This brand also has the highest amount of potassium that I have found. 40g of protein per bottle, zero carbs, 160 calories (I think). You can buy them at the VitaminShoppe, GNC, etc.

The "ProteinSLAMs" are also pretty good. I like the peach flavored one. Sometimes they seem a bit too syrupy though and I have to dilute them.

I also make popsicles out of these protein drinks for when I am feeling "snacky". I have discovered that diluting them with a little with Water before pouring them into the popsicle molds prevents them from melting too fast.

I try to "eat" at least 10-20 grams of protein each meal... and then drink one or two protein drinks to reach my goal of 100 grams per day.

I could not get into the website for the list. Could someone please email it to me at mayamom@hotmail.com ?

Thanks!

{{{Hey, Calanne!! How ya doin'?}}}

Is there another "list" anyone has accessed to substitute for the missing link?

Protein - High-Protein Foods and Amount of Protein in Each food

This is a list I have looked at in the past. I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for listing the protein foods. That is invaluable right now. Going on 3rd month and needed to be able to visually understand the protein choices available.

If you like sardines, try Kippered snacks loaded with protein I believe almost 20grams.
