I'm all about pre-cooking healthy stuff so I have Protein meals on hand. Some of you might remember my "cabbage meals" I've posted about.

Well, here's my latest and OMG it is SO GOOD!!!

Taco Spinach salad

Pre-cook about a pound or so of ground turkey or lean ground beef, add taco seasoning. This is your meat topping.

Have on hand shredded mozarella, grape tomatoes, lite ranch dressing, black olives if you like.

Add up to 4 oz taco meet over non-cooked spinach leafs to start the salad (I prefer baby spinach-organic as it lasts longer and has more nutritional value)

Sprinkle with mozarella, add tomatoes and olives to taste, Add Salad Dressing or salsa to taste

It is delicious, filling and fits the diet mode!

Yum! I precook meat and season it with taco seasoning. Then I put it into Ziploc bags and freeze it. If you freeze it in 3 oz portions you can thaw it in the microwave in 3 minutes or less:)

OMG that is a great idea! AND it will keep my kids from eating it ALL in one night and leaving me nothing low carb to eat! :(

Sounds great!! I can't wait to be on solid foods :(

Speaking of recipes, what seasonings are OK to use. I would have never though taco seasoning would be ok, so I'm interested to know what else we can use!

      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.
