Almost 6 months out 65 lbs down started at 308. Learned that I can get a good amount of carbs down if I eat them slowly. Need to get back on track. Dont love meat. In fact get repulsed when I Cook meat or fish. Sick of eggs. Anyone k ow of ways to get off of carbs while being satisfied with other choices. Or bean recipes that are good sources of ptotein?

Cottage cheese, Peanut Butter yogurt, milk, many veggies and many nuts are high in Protein.

Yeah carbs are not our bariatric friend. Stay far away from them. In moderation is fine but if your already falling back to them it's best to clean them right out of the house.

Make a menu for the week and go grocery shopping after a meal and stick to the list. This really helped me.

Not sure what support you have but talk to your dietitian about portions and meal ideas. Also could join if you haven't yet the meals forum on here.

Great ideas. Or even Google bariatric meals. There are thousands of great ones.

I know you are sick of eggs, but maybe in a new form? I've been making mini-quiches with an almond meal crust: 1 1/2 c almond flour, 1/2 c tapioca, 3T cold butter, 1 egg, 1t Water, salt. Cut the butter in to form a dough. Then I push the dough into a silicon mini cupcake tray and prebake until golden. then fill with your quiche mixture. I freeze them and then grab one on my way out the door to microwave at work.

Some good bean dishes that aren't chili:

Falafel

Black Bean burgers

"meatballs" made with lentils - google NY times veggie balls

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
