Calories?????

Hi Janet, I'm suppose to eat 5x a day now (Doc changed his mind) but I'm having a hard time doing it. I eat low fat mozzarella cheese sticks daily. I found a frozen Gordons fish fillet which has 17 g of protein w/tarter sauce 2 carbs. My DH won't eat it says it not "good" fish but it's easy for me and high in protein. I 'm trying to find better foods higher in Protein/low carb/and yummy! Chili has so many carbs! I use Matrix 5.0 vanilla from bariatric eating.com. It is very good mixed w/1/2 **** 1/2 water = 17 g. I can see how it takes time to establish a decent healthy eating plan for ourselves. I just may have egg beaters from dinner tonight your breakfast sounded so yummy! Enjoy your weekend!! Summer

Summer- Did ya try the egg beaters? I also throw some salsa in there while cooking, tastes VERY yummy!!! I get my protein from vitalady. I really like the Problend 55 brand. The strawberry tastes like Strawberry Quick! LOL I like to eat alot of tuna, has alot of protein!!! This whole experience has definately been interesting!!!! Janet

Hi Janet, Yes, I had some Egg Beaters in the freezer. I like salsa with my eggs too. Today I made a meatloaf it was good and high in Protein as well. I don't know why but tuna just doesn't do it for me anymore. I have had the Chicken in a can and Deviled Ham brand chicken. I may try tuna again I haven't had it for a few weeks- maybe I'll like it again (I hope). Happy Eating!! Summer

Honetly. for the longest time I was only getting 100-200 in /day.. My dr does not set a calorie limit. I even asked him yesterday. He told me to eat only when I am hungry, and to choose lean meats nothing processed, and veggies "the fresher the better" He does not reccomend or suggest protein shakes... But I ordered some Nectar and plan on starting them. I tried a sample of the vanilla this am.. BARF>> can't handle the milk fat in it... (lactose intolerant) Now I'm getting about 200-300/day.. and The Dr's happy and so am I..... Good Luck Kim Lap RNY 11/12/04 251/205/135
