Looking for Low Carb High Protein meals (pre-made or frozen dinners)

I'm only 2 months out (today!) and I'm pretty happy with the variety I can manage. (ok, it's possible my standards are low)

There are some pretty basic cookbooks out there, and you can Google a recipe for most anything, but for now let's start where you are.

If you have to do a pre-op diet you'll be told exactly what to eat. After surgery you'll likely be on clear fluids, then full fluids, whi*****lude premade shakes and powders mixed into milk, almond milk or water. All easy.
Next comes mushies, and you can do those without cooking if you need to. Greek yogurt plain or flavoured with sugar free syrups or crystal light or Mio, cottage cheese plain or mixed with things like apple sauce or made tasty with BBQ sauce or hot sauce, pre-made tuna salad in wee tins, sugar free pudding with protein powder mixed in.

After mushies comes soft food - now you might need to learn a little bit - scrambled eggs work WAY better than fried. (I still don't handle cooked egg white well) Wendy's chili is popular. We don't eat beef, so I made turkey taco meat (lightly brown ground turkey, then dump in packet of taco seasoning and a cup of water. Turn down heat and let simmer for 15 minutes), cold cuts (thinner slices are easier to manage - chew way more than you think you need to. Trust me about that), string cheese, I even managed to eat truly tiny portions of Costco rotisserie chicken salad. I also ate baked salmon, soft cooked broccoli and cauliflower, my protein pancakes, burger stew, and cheese omelettes. (ok, I confess, I stole a few bites from my husbands plate for lots of things)

It's hard when you're completely new to cooking, but learning to cook simple wholesome food is one of the keys to long term success after WLS. Get yourself a really basic cookbook and start practicing. You'll be surprised to find that a lot of it just isn't that hard. Learn to cook simple things to start, like scrambled eggs and steamed veg. That will give you the confidence to try harder things. Do you like fish? If so I'll share my yummy salmon recipe with you. (dead easy, but you don't have to tell anyone that)

Do you know how to cook pancakes from a mix? If so, these protein pancakes are just as easy to make:

Dump 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 eggs, a packet of Splenda and a dribble of vanilla into a blender. (Magic Bullet is fine) blend until pretty smooth and cook the batter just like regular pancakes. I make 6 pancakes from a batch, each with about 50 calories and 5 grams of protein. I like them topped with yogurt or a little sugarfree jam.

I hate to cook too but when i had a daughter I figured I might as well learn some basics. Whole wheat pasta with low sodium/no salt  tomato sauce and a fresh tomato - instead of prepackaged sauces. Takes 20 minutes to make.

Get a george foreman grill - BJs has chicken breast tenderloins individually package. Open up a package, season it with some garlic salt, put grill, when light turns off it is done.

Eggs - instead of frying, try baking it in a muffin pan. - beat the egg and whisk it and put it in the pan. 25-30 minutes in 350 degrees

low sodium canned beans from goya - put then in a pan with a little bit of water on low heat until it stars to boil - 5-7 minutes

Hey Isabelle,
How are you? I hope all is well with you. :-)

Oh when I said "frying" eggs. I just meant sunny side up. (no oil or butter) I use a non-stick pan. I think someone else misunderstood what I meant too.
I think I have have A.D.D. or something because it takes me a whole lot longer to cook than it should or than it does with other ppl. I think that too cause i have trouble staying focused or multitask. Good thing I don't have kids. I'd go crazy. And so would they. lol
