Recipes
I just ordered off overstock.com 2 cook books specifically for WLS. "Recipes for Life after WLS" $12.00 and "Eating Well after WLS" $9.77. This way I will be able to still cook and what I will be preparing will also be good for my husband because they are high protien/lowcarb/low sugar recipes. Take a look at them, the cost was minimal compared to what you'll be getting out of them.

You may already have this, but I do these on weekends and freeze them so they are easy for the whole family. It is as simple for one as for the 20-30 I make lol. (2 teen age boys at home)
scramble eggs with some milk (1 per sandwich)
1 Piece skim cheese or you can also use the 1/8 c FF shreded chedar
1 piece Turkey Bacon (or any LF Protien, I like turkey in mine)
use a small fry pan I use a 5 in skillet that will make the base
place 1/4 cup (approximatly 2 oz) of the egg mix in bottom of the heated pan grease lightly (PAM)
coo****il the egg can be flipped. Flip then add cheese and meat.
when the egg is fully cooked fold in half almost like an omlete, only these freezze great and can be carried for a quick healthy breakfast.
I figure the Protien: = 14-16g
Egg & Milk = 9g
Cheese = 2g
Meat = 4g
-------------------------
total = 15g not bad for a quick breakfast.
hope this helps

Hi Gang,
I'm happy to report that the Portsmouth Hospital program is in the process of putting together a huge WLS-specific database of recipes for our website! I believe it will be coming online in the early fall -- when it does I will let you know. You can ask Jacquie Higgins about it if you see her as she's been involved in it as well...
Best,

I make big batches of 93% lean turkey meatballs and freeze them
1 20 oz pkg of ground turkey (can double or tripple)
2 eggs (use egg beaters or whites to reduce fat if you want)
1 cup bread crumbs (approx)
1/2 cup plain uncooked oatmeal
1/2 cup tomato sauce (I like the chunky veggie kind)
tomato basil Mrs. Dash
diced onion optional
any other seasonings you want
mix it all together in a big bowl -- hands work best. If too moist add more bread crumbs and/or oatmeal. If too dry add more tomato sauce.
Shape into whatever size meatballs you want. Bake 350 degrees for about 1/2 hour (will depend on the size). They freeze well, and you can warm up as many as you want. 3 oz should be about 18 - 20 g protein.
I also like tuna melt or pizza made on pepperidge farm deli flats or arnolds sandwich thins. The bread has 2 - 3 g protein per 1/2 (that's all I can eat), plus the protein in the toppings. For the pizza, toast the deli flat, add tomato sauce, lean cheese and possibly lean meat. Microwave to melt the cheese. Tuna melt -- mix your tuna up how you usually do (I use ff mayo and a little dill relish), top w/reduced fat cheese and melt in microwave.
I also make shepherd's pie w/lean ground turkey and eat primarily the turkey w/just a little of hte corn and potato
brown 1 pkg lean grd turkey w/diced onion, peppers or other veggies if desired & place in bottom of casserole dish
top w/1 can creamed corn and 1 can drained corn kernels
add mashed potato and/or sweet potato to the top of that. (peel and dice potato, boil until soft, mash w/seasonings, milk and butter buds or molly mcbutter)
season w/mrs. dash, herbs and/or a little salt & pepper.
I love ground lean turkey (can you tell). We hardly ever use ground beef any more. The turkey is cheaper and nobody notices in recipes. The burgers aren't the same, but they are still good.
breakfast for me most days is
1 container of greek yogurt (plain 0% fat)
mixed w/ 1 4 oz container of sugar free diced peaches (canned) or fresh berries
2 packets truvia.
I hope others post more recipes -- we can all use ideas!!
