Also, does anyone here use Protein shots? Where do you buy them and how much do they cost? Thanks!!

My husband drinks the shooters...I order them from supplementwarehouse.com, I believe the last time we ordered they were 23-25 dollars for the case...oh and don't order the orange they are nasty, so my husband says.

I was banded on 6/27 and am still learning so much about this topic. This website has been one of the BEST sources of information! It occurred to me while I'm in my last week of mushy foods that it would help to track my Protein intake along with checking fats, sugars, and calories. I created this template to help me on my new journey to make sure I eat the right amounts (and look back if I have trouble after a meal to see what exactly I ate that might have been the trouble) and so forth. Maybe some of you will enjoy using it also! :)

How did this sound for a breakfast/lunch? I am trying to follow a high protein/low carb diet. What is a low carb diet (how many) anyway? 1 can of crab = 2 servings = 2 carbs/14 Protein, 4 tbls low fat mayo = 8 carb/ 0 Protein, 1 tbls relish = 2 carbs/0 protein. SO THIS breakfast/lunch totaled 12 carbs / 14 protein.

Your thoughts, please?

Breakfast is either oatmeal or 1 cup Honey Nut Cheerios with 1/2 cup Fat Free Milk. On the weekends I have a couple scrambled eggs along with 2 pieces of turkey bacon.

lunch is usually chicken and a salad.

dinner is usually fish, seafood or chicken with veggies or a salad.< /p>

Snacks: 15 Wheat Thins and 2 Wedges of Laughing Cow cheese or a Fudgesicle or Popsicle.

I don't normally cook. I find it's easier and cheaper to go out, but last night I found myself in the kitchen looking for something for dinner. I took a boneless chicken breast out of the freezer and sliced it thinly. I dusted it with a little flour and garlic powder and browned it in some olive oil. I added some sauteed onion and home grown yellow, orange and red peppers, a can of Water chestnuts and some more garlic and simmered it in Sweet Baby Ray's teriyaki sauce/marinade with just a touch of honey and ginger. It was very good and made enough to last me for about 3 meals!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
