Topic: RE: post op diet help

there is a great website with tons of free info, videos on a low carb, moderate protein diet. people like us with high BMI who got to normal weight without WLS!

the basic pre- or post op WLS diet is meat and veggies, no cereals, bread, sugar foods, desserts, juices. www.dietdoctor.com some really motivation info and recipes, tips. I love it, keeps me going.

If you have seen 600# people surgery TV show the Dr puts them on a 1200 calorie low carb, mod. protein diet. 1200 is too low for me so I am doing good at 1500

there is a lady who is losing 100lbs she relates her journey & meal plan at www.ketogenicwoman.com

you only have 3 macros to work with-fat-carbs-protein.

If BOTH carbs and fats are low then protein will be way too high. 46gr it average best for women, per livestrong.com, some women lifters go to 90 gr, over that is going to add to conversion to sugar and stored as fat because the body can't use it fast enough, which you dont want.

eating only lean protein is going to be too low in fat, and your body needs fat more than carbs.

20% carbs, 20% fats, with protein at 60% may work, you'd be eating only lean chicken to stay within 500 calories.

is this a regular super low calorie diet? or after bariatric surgery?

I use Unjury Planted Protein powder. It is pea protein and dairy free. I use the powder in my morning green smoothies for breakfast.

Being full is not a concept for me, so I drink as much water as possible.

Hope this helps!

Hello:

I was just wondering what lactose free protien powder is recommended or any protein power has shown success for you all to keep you full.

Topic: RE: What's your favorite way to "dress up" your protein shake?

Get some sugar-free coffee syrups - I use Torani. So - cold coffee, caramel shake, SF chocolate syrup and ice = Caramel Mocha Frappucino.

Chocolate Shake, Caramel SF sauce, PB 2 = snickers

Vanilla shake, frozen pineapple, SF coconut syrup = pina colada

Only your imagination can stop you. I regularly keep caramel, chocolate, vanilla, coconut and one or two other flavors around. I use them in shakes, coffees, etc.

Keep on losing!

Made some food modifications, and seem to finally have my sodium in check.

Seem to hit 500 cal without a prob, but when I hit 600, sodium levels seem to go thru the roof. Trying to keep less than 1500mg of sodium but not able to. Tend to sit around 2100.

Pls let me know if you have any ideas on reducing sodium while still keeping protein high, and fat and carbs low.

Thx~Jen
