Topic: RE: Non-Dairy Suggestions

I have SIBO. Forget anything low fat. 

low fat is not good... for you or anyone else. I stay low carbs. 

look into low FODMAP diet (google that) plus google sibo... and diet for sibo. 

I use unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk. The  only OK substitution for dairy- I found Kite Hill product. Not every WF carry them. My WF has some cream cheese. Anything else as substitution - is not really eatable IMO. 

I have dairy allergy, soy allergy and grain intolerance,. 

I tolerate some nuts, and some veggies.  Raw cucumbers, SF pickles, avocado. Coconut oil is great to fry or saute foods.. Eggs are great... 

Nuts that my body tolerate are almonds, coconuts, pecans, some peanuts, and a few walnuts.

Fruits - blueberries are the only ones I can really eat.

Topic: RE: Best of the best

I can't tell you the "best", only what I use and enjoy.  My dietician recommended Premier Protein shakes.  They come in little juice boxes.  The recommendation could have been because of availability in my region as well as the nutritional contents.  

It has 30g of protein per shake, 5g carbs, 3g fat.  The dietician wanted me on less than 6g carbs and less than 4g fat per shake, so these worked out.

I'm taking the Opurity multivitamin in the morning and their calcium citrate for lunch and dinner (I'm 3 days post-op).  The dietician said she's going to ask me to add b12 later, but not for now.  Iron also comes later.  They said they'll let me know.

Getting water down has been relatively easy for me.  I take small sips and can get down about 500ml in an hour.  I need 2L a day, whi*****ludes my protein shakes.

In the hospital, the first night, I was given 30ml cups and a glass of water.  I was to drink 30ml ever 20 minutes. No issues there.

The next morning, they gave me half and half water and apple juice.  Same 30ml ever 20 minutes, then they took my blood.  I think the apple juice was for measuring my blood sugar levels.  Not really sure.

At home, I just use apple juice to get my crushed meds down, but otherwise I'm on protein shakes and water right now.

For the water, I don't do the 30 ml thing. I just sip at it like the dietician told me to do.  I stop if I feel discomfort, wait a bit, then continue.

How is your water intake?

I'm 3 days post-op and I don't have nausea, but the thought of eating ANYTHING makes me want to gag.  I'm hoping this gets better.

My protein shakes are going down well and my water thank goodness.

Topic: RE: Stone Frying Pans?

I have The Rock frying pan.  I love it.  I'm a newb at cooking, so I can't really tell you why I love it so much.  I just use it instead of all my other pans, because I'm burning stuff less.

Topic: Stone Frying Pans?

Hi, is there any good web resource on stone frying pans? Has anyone ever used a stone frying pan before? I know this is a relatively new technology in the kitchen. I tried researching on them and came out dry. The only decent resource I can find is stone frying pans. Anybody have any health tips, brand recommendations, or other information? Thanks in advance for your help!

Im not to sure about "Centrum" and I know that was your question.  I have found this site helpful with a lot of my Bariatric related questions.

Topic: Appetite & Nausea

I'm 11 weeks out from surgery.  I was hoping I could get a bit of people's stories on when they started to feel less nausea and wanting to eat more.

I've had a difficult time getting the 60g a day of protein in for a few different reasons.  Dense protein won't stay down, plus I'm very rarely getting hungry and wanting to eat much.  I look at some of the amounts people are eating and I'm a bit boggled by it.

Today I managed to get 72g of protein in, but now I feel a bit ill.  My doctor would like me closer to 90g a day for the first year.  The only way that would be possible is to drink two Premier Proteins a day, plus meals.

My 3 month check up/blood work is on the 21st.

I've found sparkpeople.com to be practical and user friendly.  I haven't used the other sites people listed.  It also helps me track my exercise, vitamin intake and a few other items.
