Here's a list of my top high protein foods which I enjoy, please feel free to add your favourites :

Turkey - either ready cooked or I roast chicken breast, turkey bacon is ok too.  Seems to be a bit difficult to buy sometimes, but Spinneys seems to have the most regular supplies.

Chicken - I always have a cooked chicken in the fridge for snacks and quick meals
(you can pick up these from most supermarkets, the best succulent chickens can be bought in Eat & Drink)

Salmon - fresh or tinned.  I mix tinned salmon with low fat yogurt and add in some chopped up onion, I then eat it with cucumber, or shallow fry it for a salmon pattie

Eggs - all styles - I particularly like crustless quiches - great for a quick snack on the run

Protein Shakes - Nitro-Tech are my favourite - particularly the cookies & cream (yum)

Chilli - especially if home cooked and I add extra pulses - it's about 50% meat 50% pulses
Houmous

Pork - Waitrose make some lovely pork sausages and as I can only eat 1 it's a nice treat

Lamb - tasty !

Corned Beef

Grab & Go Ideas :
Crustless Quiche
Deli Turkey with salsa
Homemade beefburgers
Cheese Triangles (eg laughing cow light)
1/2 apple and peanut butter
Corned Beef Chunks (in a chilled container)
Chilli (in a heated container)
Small carton of milk
Small carton of yogurt
Small tub of houmous

I got used to a small handfull of almonds as a nice protein snack,
liked hummous alot too,
fried my 1 egg with a touch of olive oil
when I felt like a hamburger I'd take small amount of chopped meat and cook in a non-stck skillet and wrap it in a nice piece of lettuce instead of bread.

A friend of mine was telling me one day, you should go down to the Fish Market in Deira, you can get some nice fresh fish down there. I kind of chuckled thinking, yeah, I'm driving down to Deira so I can buy some fresh seafood. My total purchase would have been about 3 shrimp.

I'm 20 months out now and still feeling really good about it. I can't remember any "old type" cravings that I just got to eat something since my surgery. Its good to be free of those old feelings.
Hope your doing well!
