Buffalo Chicken Salad
I make it this way:
1 can chunk chicken breast
2 oz. reduced fat crumbled blue cheese
1/2 packet Hidden Valley Ranch
6 oz. (or one of the small tubs) of plain Greek yogurt
chopped onion/celery
Frank's Red Hot to taste
I eat it with pork rinds or celery sticks and I never get tired of it.
Congratulations on your surgery. Had the same one 5/05/2005. You'll start loosing pretty quickly and as the weight comes off you need to begin the life changes liking exercising more - I started with long walks because I live by a park. Be careful with drinking, liquids can be tricky. You'll notice some foods are triggers - the cause distress, it's very individual. I couldn't eat beef for several years after my surgery. I wish you all the best. I'm 10 years in and I still think it was the best thing I ever did for myself.
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, please understand. I don't police what people eat. I would have them on occasion if the fat didn't take me out with my irritable pancreas.
I just wanted to make sure you were aware that the protein you find in pork rinds is not the kind that we absorb. It's skin an a collagen. It's just like drinking those collagen protein shots. You get very little of the actuall protein.
Just bear that in mind when you do your calculations.

About how much of the Frank's Red Hot do you put in and where do I find this in the grocery store? Thanks!
Yeah, that ^^ It's by the ketchup and stuff. I think it's really an individual taste as to how much you put it. I like a good 5 or 6 glugs from the bottle. I forgot to mention that the recipe gives me 4 3.5 oz. servings at 144 cals and 22 gms of protein per.
