Anyone have any breakfast ideas for someone who can't eat eggs (make me sick), is trying to avoid carbs, and isn't big on cottage cheese(when eaten alone)? Breakfast is the hardest meal for me since my surgery. Lately, I just stand there, staring into the fridge for a while and then give up and pull out some cubed ham. I'm getting tired of the ham, though.

Green tea has been proven to be weight loss helper. easy and fast!! according to one article: "Losing weight can be a difficult task. Most weight lose products focus only on decreasing the appetite, which is only a part of a good diet. Yet, unwanted fats should also be eliminated. Matcha Delight, Sugar Fight works wonders in doing both the task of lessening appetite and burning fats. It impressively combines 3 ingredients: Premium Matcha Green Tea Powder, Natural dark chocolate flavor and Gymnema Sylvestre herb."

If you had the VSG you should not dump. That's more a problem from RNY'ers who have had too much sugar as far as I know. I am over two months out and have never had any issues with vomiting or 'dumping'. The soup sounds fine for the liquid stage of things but you might want to think about lower carb and higher protein options as you transition to a regular diet. Your sleeve is small and you want to get protein as a priority. I rarely even now have enough room for very many carbs.
Congrats and good luck!
There is a very interesting doc on YouTube comparing the sugar industry to Big Tobacco. As early as the 1970's they have been aware of the detrimental health effects of sugar on heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
Their response... to find the so called "Bliss Point". Which is how much sugar can we add to food to get people hooked and coming back for more. Things like bread, crackers, cereal, salad dressings and pasta sauce have more sugar in them then ever before.
I found this doc from 2013 very informative, and it is appalling how the food industry has so much clout that it seems government is content to to continue to look the other way.
Check it out if you get the chance.
I am using an unflavoured protein powder. I don't know that it matters much which one you use so far as taste goes. They are all gritty. They all (whey) have that weird cooked milk flavour. The point of the jello is it contains it and makes it easy to swallow. And then easy to digest. It will taste like the flavour jello you use. Sorta ; -)
I have got;
Bulksupplements Pure Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate
Whole Nectar Soy
Biochem whey protein isolate
They all seem to work about the same.
I have the Jay Robb unflavored whey powder and it does NOT have any taste to me. Congrats on getting the premier down. I still can not get that one down. Good Luck.
Hey guys! I am brand new to this forum, but I have a question. I had the VSG on Monday the 23rd. I'm currently on my liquid stage and I was just wondering if anyone had had a problem with the Autumn Squash soup from Panera. My grandma just brought some to me. I am so afraid it's going to make me dump, but it smells so good! Here is the nutrition info for one cup:
cals: 220
protien: 6g (will add powder)
fat: 10g (sat 6g trans 0g)
fiber: 4g
sugar: 9g
carbs: 4g
Thank you guys for reading and hopefully responding!! (:
What exactly do they taste like? I hate all protien powders. What protien powder are you using?

There is a protein powder called Inspire. It is a whey isolate so it is very easy to digest. I am nine years post sleeve and it has taken me this long to find one that I actually like. There are some nice variety such as chocolate cherry, pumpkin pie, caramel lattes as well as unflavored powders. I believe it has to.be ordered online. I had my order shipped USPS and it got here in 3 days. Good luck!!
Thanks!
