I am 2 months post op on the 14th
I have a low budget to buy food and I only do simple recipes.
I like chicken, turkey, tuna, hambuger, I like tacos, and asperagus etc
I eat about 1/4th of a cup maybe a little more depending on the food.
I am always running and I need something I can have on hand that I dont need a microwave for.
I do get the p3 protein packs I like them( there ok right?)
I like chocolate and after a meal I will have maybe, but not all the time a taste of it.
I am not a big cooker but I cook
and I also feed a family of 5
please help me with ideas
things i cant do after the total of 5 weeks in the beginning are, applesauce, eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, soups etc
I would like to know also what I can put protein powder in to make thinks have more protein
oh and I only get in 34oz of water is there anything else I could do to help get it in.
there is a water with protein in it sold online or at GNC i dont remember the name does anyone know?
and also how about a protein bar what kind should I get
My NUT says we need to be below 10g in carbs, fat, sugar and high in fiber and protein I kinda find that hard because one thing might be high and all the rest ok or something ellse is high and the rest ok... its frustrating
You can also find it in kosher markets as an Israeli product called ''gevinah lavanah''.
I eat it for breakfast nearly every day with some fresh blueberries, raspberries, or cantelope. Yummy stuff, high in protein, low in fat and carbs. I totally prefer it to Greek yogurt.

Take skinless chicken breast, dip in ranch packet, bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes, eat. Now do that with all the different spices you can dream of. Or use buffalo sauce.

I cook 3-4 ounces of sirloin or turkey in a frying pan quick to stir fry. I add toppings depending on flavor; for sirloin I'll sometimes add some cooked green pepper and chopped onion -- add a bit of mozarella for a quick philly cheese steak bowl. For ground turkey I'll add a bit of taco seasoning and some lettuce and tomato diced fine. Usually takes 15 minutes to prepare.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I don't really cook, but I am going to start. I would like to know everyone's favorite EASY WLS recipe. To me, this means not a ton of ingredients or steps to prepare. I really am clueless in the kitchen. Looking forward to the replies!!
Hope this gives you a few ideas: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/puree d-foods.html
