Protein ... Who Knew?

I certainly didn't know that the plant-based protein I consume (beans, soy milk) does not count towards my daily protein consumption. Right now, so newly post-op, only animal-based protein counts. Hmmm ... I've got to do some serious rethinking.

I saw the nutritionist today and discovered that I am 100% normal when it comes to being gastric bypass post-op. The issues I'm having with food are mostly textural in nature and will improve. Food texture did not bother me nearly as much with the lapband as it does with gastric bypass.

It was an interesting visit and I discovered that I'm going to have to do some major reworking on my meal plans.
