if something has carbs in it...it doesn't go away when cooked :)

Oh Fran, you gave me a giggle on this one! But you're right - nothing changes a carb to a non-carb, not even cooking it :>) Stick to proteins and vegetables (green ones, which includes cauliflower).

Hi, I am 3 1/2 weeks out and this is what I can eat in a day. I feel like I can eat too much so I really try to focus on protein. For breakfast, 1 egg scrambled with cheese, I drink an ultra pure protein (35 gr proteint) on the way to work. For lunch Ill have some refried beans and cheese or tuna salad either alone or on 1 slice lowcarb, no crust toast. I usually have a small afternoon snack. I am trying different protein bars and protein snacks. For dinner I will have fish, shrimp or scallops and usually some broccoli with cheese on it. Around bedtime I struggle wanting a snack so I will have a yogurt(sf,lf) or some crackers with beanut butter. I am getting 5-600 calories a day and have lost 20 lbs. Email me if you want to chat!!

Hey Fran.. I am 5 wks post op Open RNY. This is what I ate today. Breakfast-Protein Shake, Lunch- Tuna Salad (tuna, egg, light mayo, no sugar added relish sweetened w/ splenda w/ a few Reduced fat Wheatables crackers, Dinner-Whole Wheat spagetti w/ homemade italian sausage sauce. I measure everything and usually eat about 3oz to be pleasantly full. I know I'm not getting enough veggies or water. It is really trying to get it all. My other favorites are seafood(crab, flounder, shrimp), white bean and chicken chili, string cheese, and cottage cheese w/ fresh peaches. I haven't tried to eat bread yet.
