PRE-OP FOOD RUT

Hi.

I'm currently prepping for surgery ... basically waiting to be submitted to insurance.

I've been losing about 1-2 pounds a week during this prep stage. But last month I began to stall out and I'm in a bit of a food rut.

Nothing really sounds good. I'm just doing a lot of protein shakes and plain chicken and vegetables. I'm never really satisfied though and I find myself making many trips into the kitchen looking for something/anything else!

I'd love some ideas to get out of this rut --- snacks, lunch and dinner ideas?!?

Thanks!

Pinterest has some awesome keto or paleo recipes you could try.

I am 10 years post op. I get into food rut every month or so. On top of WLS long term diet - I deal with food allergies, intolerances. That makes it "an interesting" twist to already limited diet. But I manage. When I am shopping iilook to find interesting low carb sauces and marinates. I.e - today in Costco I found ginger dressing/marinade. I only used a little bit and saute chicken strips and some veggies in that. We loved it.

There are a lot of great websites for nice protein forward dishes. Keto, Paleo, low carb, etc. Just Google it and you can see more than you wish to see.

There's a lot of delicious protein out there. Just sayin.

Mix up your protein. Salmon, pork loin, shrimp, steak. You can also try different marinades, seasoning, sauces.
