Okay' date=' here's my delima: I cannot stand hamburger meat since surgery, chicken gets stuck unless it's canned and I make chicken salad, I eat a lot of fish (and I'm getting tired of it), shaved turkey or ham, cheese (low fat), cottage cheese, I may eat a half of an 8" Quesadilla with low fat cheese in it. I'm getting burned out on my meals as I eat these things every day. I was wondering how you guys get your Protein in in other ways besides meat? I went to the dr last week and had .25cc's removed, he thought I was too tight, I'm 3 months post op by the way and before he came in his nurse blessed me out over drinking Protein shakes. I only drink them occassionally like before church when I'm in a hurry and it's simple and quick but she said that the only time I should be drinking them was pre op and post op. I felt like a scolded child, guess I should have said something to the dr but didn't. He such a sweetie and great bedside manner. Anyway, off the subject, back at hand, I haven't tackled pork chops or steak, scared to as if chicken gets stuck so will that. Open for suggestions. thx

Everyone has given you some awsome suggestions. I have one more to add. Just before I started my 2wk preop diet (4 wks ago) I purchased a digital pressure cooker. BEST KITCHEN GADGET I EVER BOUGHT! I made curry short ribs that literally fell apart. My point is I think its better than the slow cooker, which I have, and extremely fast. May eliminate some of that chewing you are having a problem with. My best friend had band surg and gastric sleeve and told me her saving grace is her pressure cooker. So I purchased my own. Please try it.

what's in your 3 bean salad and what dressing? I think I would like that??? thx

[donna12 742]

Oh my goodness, you guys are so awesome! I'm overwhelmed with suggestions. Yes I had a bowl of pinto Beans at Cracker Barrel this afternoon and brought half home, woohoo. I added onion and relish to it and boy was it yummy. Headed back there for a family reunion this coming Saturday and was wondering what I could eat so now I know, another bowl of beans...ha! Great Protein and Fiber. I do love beans of any kind. I do have to admit, I think I will try a small Wendy's chili soon, I know I have sworn off hamburger but it is in tiny pieces in the chili there and not much chewing other than the beans so maybe it won't gross me out too much and I always have loved their chili. I may have to eat it with a fork if it's too soupy as I want the nutritional factor of protein and not the liquid. We'll see. The part of hamburger meat I am grossed out about is chewing to oblivion and running into something hard, ew, it just turns my stomach, even the lean Laura's meat at the grocery and Taco Bell burrito with beans. Thanks again to all of you.

Green Beans, kidney beans& great northern Beans, or any bean you like doesn't really matter,chopped onion. I use Farmers Boy lite dressing or just some oil & vinegar. Cover & refrigerate over night. Mmmm I'm making myself hungry!
