Shout Out to WYO! How's the protein coming along?

So I'm fairly new on this site but not too new to gastric bypass -- I'm 18 months post-op and lovin' it!  Had a run in with some nasty carbs and I've started feeling sluggish even though I work out, so I was on another support message board and I got some really great advice!  Go on a protein fast! Wow!  This is my 5th day on protein and I feel so much better and it gave me a week to get into planning a meal with good healthy choices! So how about it?  Anyone out there with any suggestions on helping other post-ops with carb crashes, getting back into it again?  How about sharing so recipes?  I'm happy to give support, suggestions, recipes if anyone wants them!  Let me know! 

Hi Vera,  Thank you for sharing.  I have had some very sluggish times as well and I thought it was from too little carbs.  I still use a lot of protein drinks and eat only small meals and I am 2 years out.  A favorite recipe is one I got out of the American Heart Association cook book and it is for baked chicken parmesan.  I've modified it somewhat.  Put a few spoons of olive oil in a baking pan, just enough to barely coat the pan.  Dip low fat, skinless, boneless chicken breast in egg and then bread it in a mixture of 1/2 whole wheat bread crumbs (home made is best) and 1/2 low fat freshly grated parmesan or romano cheese.  Cover the pan bottom with cutlets.  Season.  Put a few spoons of low fat margerine (like smart balance light) on top of chicken.  Add water so that chicken is half covered in water or use a little red wine.  Cover pan with foil and cook for half an hour on 350. Uncover and finish cooking for about half an hour more.  The chicken is super moist and flavorful. You can cut it with your fork and it is very low fat.  Leftovers also nuke well and are still moist.  You can also toss frozen or canned vegetables in the rest of the breading mix and toss in the pan and make it a one pan meal.

YUMMMY!  Sharon thanks for the recipe!  I can hardly wait to give it a go!  Up until about a month ago I've had problems with chicken breast...think I was getting it too dry, so using chicken thighs now and it works well, however I'm going to use chicken breast with this, I miss eating it and its my favorite part of the chicken!  Again, thanks for the tips! Have a great day!
