I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for food high in protein that doesn't need refrigeration. I will be travelling 4 months post op. Thanks.
I am, too! Also I am a compulsive eater. Low carb has been the only way I have ever been able to lose weight. I am getting sleeved in August, and I worry about regain if I can't stick with it. Just gotta do what I know works.
There's a new documentary called "Sugarcoated" that is also pretty fabulous.
Thanks, I will check it out.
18 days post op that is fine! Let's you get all your drinking in that way, too.
I actually do intermittent fasting (IF). I fast 12 hours (from 12a - 12p). I eat my first meal at or after noon, and don't eat after 12. Though, it's really more like 16-18 hours since I don't eat past six. I eat 3 small meals during that time.
I didn't do this close to post-op, of course. For me, IF helps regulate my hunger much better than more frequent meals. I also eat a more moderate protein/higher fat diet (low carb) which it works well with. Paired with Harvey/teenystomach, it's helped me stay on track and reduce cravings a lot.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I had been making some changes for several weeks but I did think about that "last meal" because I will be on liquids for a long time post-op. I decided on spaghetti because it is something I may never eat again.
The link is in my signature. It is about getting back to a protein forward diet, and getting the carb cravings out of your system.

What is the 5 day meat test. It's been a long time since I've been on site.

I was vegetarian for a long time and changed to vegan last year and I'm still trying to figure out how to get my nutrition right. I drink protein shakes to up my protein as well as eating veggie "meat" products and beans. I've had been too heavy on the carbs but I'm working on cutting back. I'm coming back from a large post surgery weight gain that started when I was 7 years out and so far I've lost 40lbs of the regained weight. Being vegan is important to me for many reasons and I'd like to continue to eat ths way. I have my yearly post op visit with the surgeon in August so I'll see how my bloodwork looks. It's a work in progress at this point but I'm sure it will all fall in place.
