Protein Drink for Breakfast

I had 1/2 of a double chopped chicken salad at Subways for lunch, they put everything in a bowl and chop it up into small pieces.

Do you ask them to double chop it or does it come like that? That's so neat. I want to go get one now!

Today so far I ate:

Breakfast: Protein Shake made with 1 c FF milk, 1 scoop whey Protein Powder, 1 teaspoon of Peanut Butter (yummy)

Snack: 1 hard boiled egg, 1 babybell cheese

lunch: 4oz ground beef w/ 1 tablespoon of baked Beans, 1/4 tsp of shredded cheese

dinner: I will be having tuna cakes - homemade - 1 can tuna, 1 egg, 1/4 c ff shredded cheese, 4 crushed up popped rice cakes (cheddar cheese flavor)

mix together and form 2 cakes, fry up in pam until crispy -- I got this recipe from someone I follow on youtube!! 1 tuna cake = 205 cal/ 20 Proteins

Are the Rice cakes the tiny ones or the large one? Thanks

I have had my lap band for several years with much success. I am 47 years old and have recently been very depleted in Vitamans and minerals - my Dr. told me that this is very common with the lap band- so be careful. I recently started drinking Shakeology and immediately began feeling great! It's a meal replacement- 160 calories with water- however I exercise so I put a banana and some orange juice- which adds Calories but as you know with the lap-band you sometimes don't get enough daily. This product is Gluten free and Vegan. It has had a great affect on me! Love it! I not only started feeling great immediately- my digestion is better, and overall have more energy. Now- I am a beach body coach and am promoting health and fitness to all. If you would like more info on shakeology visit my web site at www.beachbodycoach.com/danadjoplin

Wishing all lap banders great success as I have had!

A typical day:

B- egg beaters with cheese and turkey bacon

S- English tea with sugar free creamer

L- lean cuisine meal or tuna fish (I often work thru lunch so I need something quick and easy)

S- beef Jerky, almonds, cottage cheese, popcorn

D- whatever I'm in the mood for in small portion

After dinner - Vitamins

I try to stay at 1000 calories/day and get in over 60g Protein everyday. I don't limit carbs as the required Protein and calorie level takes care of that. There are days that I have a Protein shake for Breakfast or dinner as I'm just not hungry.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
