When thinking about protein, focus on options like:🧀🥚🍗🍖🍳🥛🫛

• Eggs or egg whites
• Lean chicken or turkey
• Fish
• Greek yogurt
• Beans and lentils
• Tofu or edamame
• Milk or high-protein milk alternatives

For many bariatric surgery patients, small portions of protein throughout the day are easier to tolerate than large meals. Planning ahead, like keeping hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, or a protein-rich snack ready, can help you stay on track even on busy days.

Remember, every patient’s needs are different, and our office can help guide you on the right amount of protein for your stage after surgery.

If you have any questions, please call us! 661.723.7833💙

Small habits like prioritizing protein can make a big difference in supporting your health over time.💙

Just in case you’re planning your dinner menu for the week!😋

Sweet Potato Turkey Meatloaf – I have A LOT of turkey meatloaf recipes on my website because we love it! This one has no oats or breadcrumbs, instead I used a baked sweet potato as the binder for added nutrients and it was great! This works with or without the egg.

💙Your next right thing might be ordering your bariatric vitamins and calcium and putting them on subscription so you never run out.

It might be filling a few water bottles and keeping them nearby so you stay hydrated throughout the day.💦

It might be hard-boiling some eggs or slicing cheese to bring to work so you always have a quick protein option when you need it.🧀🥚

Or maybe it’s setting walking dates with a friend so you know you’ll get in some movement this week.☀️

Small decisions like these add up over time.

Whatever your next right step is, your health is worth the effort.💙
