Help!! I need recipes!!
Hi--I have been reading posts for a while but never posted yet...I had my surgery July 23rd and to date have lost 41 lbs. The problem is...I simply cannot gag down any more cottage cheese or yogurt. I need some stage 4 recipes and the cookbook I ordered won't be in for a few more days. I try to eat whatever I make my family...but I cant eat enough of it to get my protien requirement. The powders are awful, the shakes are way to big to finish...what am I doing wrong?
I don't think you doing anything wrong. You just haven't found the right stuff to eat. Anything I eat too many times in a row it starts to gross me out.
I eat tuna salad or use canned salmon. Fish goes down pretty good because its soft and easy to digest. Dover Sole or Orange Roughy do not have a strong fishy taste.
If I eat chicken I buy a boneless breast and pound it with a tenderized hammer. It is not as dry. You can saute it or bake it.
You can find some recipes at bariatriceating.com. They have a message board that has a complete recipe thread. I guess there is a recipe thread here isn't there?
Good luck.
