I don't do too well on the solid proteins either. It has to be extremely tender and when you are on the go and fixing something quick tender is not always an option. I do alot of lunchmeats with cheese, tuna and Peanut Butter. For some reason I'll have days where I can eat cottage cheese and other days it is my worst enemy. Anyone have days like that?

Hi, Can you do dairy, such as cottage cheese and yogurt? Let`s see, what about chili, deli meat rolled up with cheese? Homemade chicken salad. Peanut butter. And if you get really desperate, try babyfood meat chased with applesauce. I am 3 years out and I originally had a hard time with solids also. Probably for the first 2 1/2 yrs. I am guessing I only got in 30 to 40 gms a day. But I did fine. I`m not totally convinced we really need that much protein. I have heard a woman only needs about 50 gm anyway. I would do the best you can and not worry too much. Good Luck.

Topic: :grad Anniversary
Today is my one year anniversary and I want to thank all of you who wished me well. I am at goal weight but still have a few issues of eating at functions. Also think I am going to have to take peanut butter off my list because I tend to have a problem of eating too much of it. I just don't want to stretch out my pouch. Staying between 140 and 144. When I gett 144 I try to hang back a little. This problem with control is a problem I guess you have to work with all your life. But again I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Topic: Stumped on Protien
hello all.. well.. I had surgery a year ago..lost 90lbs todate.. feel great but still having issues getting in protein.. Solid protein doesn't quite agree with me.. if I can get in an ounce of chicken i'm lucky.. seems like ground beef or anything ground is okay.. but i'm getting sick of it.. beans are good and cheese.. I can't do any type of protein shake..I've tried almost all out there and due to severe allegies I can't take them.. asthma, hives, etc.. can't do protein bars either.. or soy milk or anything with whey.. which leaves me little options for protein.. so I need ideas!!! IDEAS!!! HELP! so Ladies and Gentlemen.. give me so protein building ideas that I can use.. thanks

Topic: RE: Who can drink carbonated beverages?
The only time I drink carbonated beverages is when I have something stuck in my pouch.. a little tip.. coca cola works wonders for getting stuff to disintergrate rather quickly from your pouch.. which in my opinion is reason enough not to drink it..
