I am in week nine post surgery and really sick of eating eggs, yogurt, and Protein shakes. I still enjoy the fruit. I am craving carbs for the first time and broke down and bought the low carb Protein Bars on this website. Feeling very guilty about it. My dietician said to avoid rice, Pasta, bread, potatoes, and starchy foods altogether for the next six months when my weight loss will most significant. Is this one person's opinion? Can I eat a Protein Bar or oatmeal occassionally if it's in moderation?

Pssst. I have a secret.

I have managed to lose my weight AND maintain it without a dietitian or NUT. I find most of them don't know squat about what a bariatric patient needs.

Find healthy, non processed stuff loaded with Protein and nutrients you like and go from there!

Actually, that was @@Babbs -- she's hot with a great rack.

Yes, I recall.* Sometimes when the posts are layered like lasagne or mille feuille, a few layers slip off the virtual fork.

*The post that is, not the rack.

You need to see her rack.

there's no way for you to tell who is an RD and who isn't, so any advice you get here from someone who labels themselves a professional in the field should be suspect at the least.

Huh? Just when things were simmering down.

I question whether everyone who claims to have had surgery really has.

How easy it is to be generous with someone else's rack.

Babbs, front and center! You heard her. Whip it out.

This thread has me craving an omelet made some left over Maryland blue crab cake... An advantage to not be able to eat a whole one for diner.

@AmiLou... It is probably obvious at this point that there are not many dietitians hanging out. Few that might be around are also WLS patients too. My NUT did allow thin oatmeal and even mash potatoes during the purée phase... Just to get me through. After that carbs were not forbidden but I should only eat them if I am meeting my Protein requirements. To her the ideal early carbs were green veggies. She warned me about being very careful with Protein Bars. The ones that are edible are usually high in carbs. If you found a tasty one that really is low in carbs please share. I get being bored with food... It happens all the time with me. Eating healthy but tasty variety food is critical for me staying on track. Luckily there are many wise vets (not me I am only 8

Months out) with great ideas for keeping things interesting.

Hell's bells! Some people even claim that they were able to "ignore" it immediately pot op for a spell.

My go to breakfast is a vegetable omelette made with mushrooms, peppers, and spinach. Some mornings I am tempted to have a slice of toast, but so far I have resisted that temptation. This morning I also had some "hash browns" made with onions and thinly sliced zucchini. It helps having something with a different texture than the omelette.

Oh Yeah One bars. Delicious, almost too delicious. Low carbs, high protein. You can't find them just anywhere though. I get that at my local supplement store.

You ladies crack me up! That is an amazing rack however! Jealousssssssss

I just don't understand how my plan is sooo different. One of the many recipes I was encouraged to eat is an egg (any way comfortable) with half a piece of toast. Soft foods included crackers and toast. I just can't get over the differences in plans.
