On my Quest for more protien without always being chicken, i foud this, its really good and soft

Spicy Orange Ginger Tilapia Serves 3-4 smile.gif

1lb tilapia fillets

1 small clementine orange (16g carbs/7g fiber)

1/2tsp fresh grated ginger(less than 1g carbs)

1/4tsp chili garlic paste(less than 1g carbs)

approx 10 cilantro leaves(less than 1g carbs)

2T Water

pinch each salt and pepper

Pat fillets dry and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with olive oil cooking spray.

Preheat oven (I used a toaster oven) to 400f.

Finely zest the orange, then peel and separate 1/2 into segments. Cut 1/2 the segments into 3 pieces each and set aside.

In a small food processor place remaining orange, Water, ginger, garlic chili paste, cilantro and salt and pepper.

Process until smooth.

Divide the mixture evenly over the fillets, then divide the cut up segments on top. Spray lightly with olive oil spray.

Bake uncovered for 15 minutes until fish is cooked through.

For 4 servings this is just over 4g carbs(not net)and 110 calories per serving.

*If you prefer this to be sweet and hot, add 1/2pk splenda when blending.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
