Yogurt, string cheese, Protein Shakes ,eggs, turkey chilli and if all else fails Protein chips, protein Cookies and protein crackers. But I advise you speak with your surgeon or nutrition to discover the problem... Can't eat that way forever...

I am in an unpopular subject...I don't focus on Protein (haven't since about 3-4 months post op). I do get my nutrients mainly from plant based foods though. All blood work comes out fine too. I eat plenty in a day, with legumes, grains, and lots of veggies, especially green leafy veggies. You can eat a considerable more of this and feel content knowing you're eating good nutrient food. Just another idea...look in the vegan/vegetarian forums to get some ideas if want. This is not a ploy to have you come over to that side, just another idea of what foods you can introduce and still be successful...and healthy too.

Watch Dr Weiner on you tube, he makes a,lot,of sense and I plan to,implement, a lot,of his ideas post surgery. Don't grab the Cookies etc, sure your biamin and mineral levels look good but honey you are crusin' for a bruisin', I'm an older foodaholic and sugar junkie, I'm repenting for,it now but I didn't play fair with,my health for years.My weight prevoked a,lot of pain dragging this old body around. Fast food can be as addictive as crack and it's so easy to find. Please listen to a older and older food junkie,,please?

Isn't that the idea to get full sooner with healthy food?

My NUT is in the camp of a sensible diet when you hit maintenance. She said that restricting food for the rest of your life if not realistic. She also said that you have to change the way you view foods, or you will absolutely regain. Her recommendation is to always start with Proteins and allow a treat once in a while. That is the key though, the reason we had (or are having) the surgery is because for many of us, the “treats” were the norm and the healthy was the “once in a while”. So my advice, it’s ok to enjoy the bad things once in a blue moon, but you have to be mindful and always get your proteins first. If you get full after a few bites, that is not a bad thing and probably to be expected for a while.
