Where are you in your journey... I mean are you a recent post-op or few months? I couldn't tell from your profile. It really depends on how far along you are post-op. My surgeon gave us a booklet when we went through his nutritionist, it list the various stages after surgery and gives sample menus etc. Feel free to email me. I'd be happy to share what I do. I am 1 year out and down 132 pounds (and 5 months pregnant)...

Here is a link to a list of foods and their protein levels - its is great info. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/9847/protein.html You could also consider adding powdered egg whites to some foods to add in some protein.

Based on that, here are some ideas: Thinly Sliced Deli Turkey & Apline Lace Cheese, Cheese Omelette, Shrimp & Scallops broiled or steamed, chicken breat, cheeseburger no bun, chicken salad, humus, turkey sausage, ricotta cheese, mozzaralla & tomato Salad, Wendy or BK Chili, Tuna, Turkey Burger no bun, bacon, protein bars...I hope that helps.

I love the cajun seafood salad, cheese seafood spread, vegetarian pepperoni, ground turkey w/vegetarian italian sausage, smoked salmon, camembert cheese, pork rinds. I try to have the spreads on celery or I use the pork rind as a kind of no carb cracker. You can find these products at Shop Rite supermarkets. Enjoy!!
