You are only a month post-op, and I was trying to remember what I ate at that time. I know that I could buy one of those big turkey meatballs that they sell at the hot foods counter in the grocery store, and that would last me for 4 meals. I think I used to buy frozen chicken meatballs and have 2 of them with a little gravy and a spoonful of mashed cauliflower (Green Giant frozen).

Hi.
I find having some frozen dinners as back up helpful. I did find one lean cuisine which was protein and veggies - with 19g protein, low cal. (sometimes these are great to just grab to take to work for lunch)
Anyone have some to recommend?
Thanks!
Sunny
Evening everyone
I was just wondering I am seeing a counceler already to help me with my issues, I was just wondering if I will have to stop seeing her in order to continue with the process or can she share notes?

Hey everybody,
I am looking for recommendations for family doctors who are open to WLS, lab work and post op care in the lower mainland.
Thanks so much in advance
Congratulations on your success.
I was tired for probably 8 weeks before I got my energy back. Low calories, stress on your body, and yes, a very physical job - on your feet a lot. It's probably a combination of all of it. I had to work 1/2 days for a bit before I was back up to speed.
You sound like you're doing a good job. I did pretty much what you did. I followed the rules but I also treated myself from time to time. Early on it was hard to treat myself because a lot of foods didn't necessarily sit well. Eventually my treats became eggs, cheese and toast. LOL
Keep doing what you're doing. You're rocking this!

I am officially 2 months post op and down 50lbs since starting optifast. I am feeling both a mixtures if feeling great and slightly less great- exhaustion is real! Maybe it's because I work retail management and work 45 plus hours a week on my feet or maybe it's my body adjusting to so much less calories. Maybe it's both. I testing myself to see what i can tolerate- 99% healthy options but everything in moderation right.

Here is the link I used... I found it on Pinterest but I didn't save it. Do you know how many avocado pudding recipes there are on Pinterest??? Lol.

I swapped some maple syrup for Splenda. I also added a scoop of protein powder, but I still kept the cocoa amount as listed (well, approximately... I was holding the little nugget and a bunch of the cocoa ended up on the counter). DH said it tasted like there was banana in it so you could probably sub in some banana for sweetness. I don't think our avocados were ripe enough so it wasn't totally smooth. A blender might have worked better but I'm not sure. It made at least 8 servings... I also saw one with crumbled pistachios on top that looked yummy.
You have inspired me to try making avocado pudding. Recipe please .
Seems like we are both in the crappy weather, need beef stew phase.
