What do you eat 4 months into surgery

My doctor and nutrionist continue to tell me to eat 70 grams of protien and less than 50 carbs a day. I'm a lap band patient. My fill is at 5 cc. Now I'm getting sick of eating protien. Is weigh****chers a option. I can't continue to eat like this.  I have a hard time eating bread as well. Please help!

I"m sorry.  I will be haing my surgery the last of January.  There may be a few bander on this board but not many.  If you go under forums and clilck under more forums at the bottom of the sheet you can locate a board for banders. But if one of the banders should log on, I'm sure they will answer your questions.

Thanks for the information. Good luck with your surgery.

Vary your protein sources. It is important to eat your protein to maintain your health. It also helps with your weight loss. I eat very little bread and I am 14 months out. I don't miss it at all. If I need something like bread with a meal, I eat a whole grain cracker of some type. Experiement. Chili, stews, and soups are great protein sources as well as giving you lots of other meal choices.  Good luck!

Thanks, I will try that.

I can't comfortably do bread or pasta, which isn't really such a bad thing since I'm more than a little carb-sensitive.  Potatoes and rice go down okay.  Gluten seems to ball up in my stomach and block the stoma.  I eat a lot of diferent proteins.  I do some complex carbs, too, including oatmeal or grits (with cheese) for breakfast sometimes, low fat cheeses, eggs, Greek yogurt, Canadian bacon, lunch meats, meat sauce over ricotta (instead of spaghetti noodles), etc., as well as the normal meat entrees.  Fortunately I don't have any trouble with meat.  When eating out, I go for the dinner salads with protein.  I come nowhere near finishing the greens, but the protein serving usually isn't that huge and I find that they're a good value compared to a regular entree. I have zero fill because I still have a tiny bit of post-op restriction, though it's been getting less and less.  Can't eat what I used to eat, though.  Getting a fill in January.

Thanks that's a big help. I have a hard time eating bread too!! I was tight too, but some times a can eat a roll, but it does not go down that easily. Good luck.

My doctor & nutritionist said that a minimum of 50 grams of protein daily for women & 63 grams for men is what is required. I have my surgery on January 16th & I'm not a big protein eater either. Good luck!
