Here's a link to some recipes from the Steve Harvey show. Keep in mind that you will only be eating 1/3 to 1/2 of a serving so the carbs and calories will be greatly reduced compared to the nutritional values shown. This is where I discovered the House Food Tofu "pasta". And to the guys...

Some of us forum members go way back and some of us are pretty new. I just wanted to let all of my "old" and "newer" friends know that I am fast approaching a long awaited total hip replacement with pelvis reconstruction surgery on April 2nd. This journey started many years ago and had to be put...

Suprmommcs-Welcome to the forum. We will all be thinking about you and sending good vibes your way. Please come back to the forum to let us know how you are doing.

Kim-The good thing is eventualy you will be at a steady weight and will no longer have to keep buying clothes because of fit. I am in desperate need of new clothes but keep putting it off for the most part. I have bought some but just enough to keep a few changes on hand. I can get away with...

If you attend a live support group you might try to start an exchange program where you can bring in protein bars and other things you might not be crazy about. You can swap them out for something else that someone else brings in or buy them from each other.

The on-line store on this forum offers a lot of protein bar choices. I have tried ALL of them *LOL* The only one I didn't like at all was the Strawberry Cheescake. One of my favories is the Lemon. They offer some sample packs too which give you a variety of different bars. I recommend these to...

I thought a thread about protein bars would be good. Here we can recommend brands, give an opinion on how a particilar bar tastes to us, where to find them, etc. My nutritionist recommended the following brands. At first glance some may have a high sugar content but it's because of the sugar...

For those of you who don't have a Kroger's in your area, Walmart now carries the Dreamfield's line of pasta.

I just wanted to post a little more about Carbalose and CarbQuik. I have been substituting these products in everything I used to make with wheat flour. I have to say the results have been very good. I just follow the recipe except some adjustments may be needed on the amount of liquid in the...

Here's my feedback on HOUSE FOODS TOFU SHIRATAKI angelhair pasta. The store I went to only had angelhair so that's what I used. I would have rather used fettuccini. I rinsed it very well in a colander under running water. I had to use my fingers to seperate the noodles since they were wound...

Renie-When my hair started thinning out 5 weeks after surgery my nutritionist recommended an over the counter med called Hair Skin & Nails. She said it doesn't work for everyone but it worked for me. My hair stopped thinning within 2 or 3 weeks. I bought mine at Costco but Sam's Club and Walmart...

Marchfern-Welcome to the forum and great job on your weight loss!!! Maybe attending a live bariatric support group will help. There will be people there who are going through the same thing and can tell you what they are doing to help with the situation. I need to start going myself and intend...

Donnayork-check with your nutritionist to see if you can have a small amount of grated parmesan cheese. I think it makes chicken broth taste wonderful. It's something I have added to almost any soup I have eaten since I was a teenager *LOL* Don't laugh but try a little ketchup. Again, check...

Renee-it's pretty normal not to be able to get your protien in at first but you need to keep trying. Give your nutritionist a call to see if he / she can help you find something you like. As JavaJoy mentioned, Unjury makes some good products and they taste good. Some bariatric surgeon's carry...

SmileDiva-you will definately become dehydrated if you are not able to drink fluids. You need to be persistant with getting in to see the surgeon. I suggest just showing up if they won't set up an immediate appointment. If the surgeon won't see you please get yourself to the ER before you become...

Elwhite-It could be trapped gas moving around. Try GasEx or a generic brand. It should slow down considerably in time. Another thing you could try is to track what you eat to see if certain foods make it happen then try to avoid those foods.

Dreamfields Pasta - Rotini 1 1/2 cups Frozen-Any Brand - Green Peas, 1/2 cup Petite Diced Tomatoes (Canned), 1 container (1 4/5 cups ea.) (or substitute 2 cups fresh chopped tomatoes) 97% Fat Free Baked Ham Lunch Meat, 4 ounces Sargento Light Mozzarella String Cheese 2% Milk, 4...

Johnscrystal-Try Dreamfield's pasta. It has very low digestible net carbs and tastes exactly like regular white pasta but the calorie count is the same as regular pasta. I have found it in the pasta aisle at Walmart and Kroger. You can also buy it on-line at the store from this forum.

I have been going to the same dentist for 14 years and had my last 6 month check up in January. Once the hygenist finished with X-rays and cleaning my teeth she went to let the dentist know I was ready for my exam. When he walked into the room he stopped, looked at me and asked "what did you do...

I found this collection on the net on SparkPeople. Some may be a bit high in carbs for the beginning stages after surgery. Just look through them and I'm sure you'll find something that appeals to you and is also quick to fix. You can aways make a couple of these recipes in advance, portion them...
