Yes try the 5-day-meat-test as lady Godiva said. It is about getting back to a protein forward diet and getting the carb monkey off your back. Slowly add back in veggies after the 5 days.

Everyone is different as to what agrees with them at 7 weeks. For me it was always beef. Chicken thighs over breasts- as they are moister. No tuna salad until after 6 months but I could do chicken salad... Still almost 2 years out cold cuts aren't my friend. I couldn't microwave anything- too rubbery.

Make sure it is moist, chew well, small bites....add a little broth, sauce, or condiment if needed.

What have you tried so far for meats?  For me at 7 weeks out I was able to eat 1 scrambled egg and not really any other type of meat except a little white fish.  I didn't start eating beef or chicken until I was 3 months out.  I ate eggs, yogurt, chili, 2 oz of flounder and protein shakes for my first 3 months after my revision.

If you can tolerate tuna, eggs, filet mignon, chicken thighs (no skin) I would start with those.  The five day meat test menus have been updated for newly post op and regain.  Take a look.

I was going to try the 5 day meat test simply because I'm 7 weeks out and have only lost 18 lbs but nothing lately ... What kind of meats are best ?

I would suggest you try the five day meat test.  It is a reset of getting back to the dense proteins that make us all feel full.  It has been helping several people including my husband who did not have WLS lose weight.  He lost 5lbs and 2 1/2 inches around his waist in two weeks. 

His energy level is great, he is sleeping so much better, and he loves that he eats only three times a day and feels full.  He is no longer sluggish and always wanting to eat.

Topic: RE: Coffee

My surgery was on June 11th and I enjoy having that one cup too!  Thanks for asking this question.  My doctor said he prefer me to have ice coffee for a while and possibly decaf due to dehydration.  I'm ok with decaf, I just like the warm mug in my hand. ?

Topic: RE: what to eat while trying to lose 10%

Honestly, I'd just eat LCHF and write down literally everything.  If you're eating under 1200 calories and not losing weight, you're either overeating, or eating too many carbs and not tracking them.  Carry a notebook with you and immediately write down each bite as you eat it.  I discovered pre-op I was eating far too much.  I was shocked at what I was eating!

Also, 1/3 cup of nuts has 273 calories.  A cup of veggies has like 50.  It's also much easier to overeat nuts than veggies.  You'd be better off eating 3 ounces of beef instead for slightly fewer calories and 2x the protein (or more).

 

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Topic: RE: 8 days post op

I would suggest adding unflavored protein to your other food.  I add protein to my water with a little lemonade sugarfree flavoring.  You can add unflavored protein to anything!

Topic: RE: Last meal before pre-op diet?

I ate 1/2 a waffle house waffle with sugar free syrup and a few bites of hash browns with my eggs before my pre op liquids.

I think I also ate a donut also.

Other than that- I was good because I had been dieting for 6 months prior due to insurance req- and had already lost 50 pounds before surg
