Need Some Help



Recommended Posts

I hate to admit it but I have been living on eggs and hamburger because they are so quick and easy to fix.

As a school teacher with all the benchmark testing and data plus parent contacts plus lesson plans plus grading... I work at least 12 hour days. I come home exhausted and just want to eat my dinner and relax or go to my belly dance class. I need some tasty EASY quick recipes. Any one have any favorites?

These are not recipes per say, but I buy baked frozen meatballs (Rosina Italian Style) and heat them up with my favorite Tomato Pasta sauce & grated cheese on top. You can make some Pasta if you have to make dinner for someone else.

- Caprese salad-(slice(s) of fresh mozzarella, slice(s) of tomato, fresh or dried basil, balsamic vinegar, a tiny bit of olive oil, ground black pepper.

-I haven't made this yet, but I plan on googling some easy crockpot recipe that includes chicken tenderloin & a jar of Pasta Sauce or red pepper sauce or cacciatore sauce...you get the picture.

I make deviled eggs with splenda and keep them in the fridge for a snack. Crock pot cooking can be pretty easy with only a couple of ingredients to through in it when you get home its ready for you. There is also always tuna salad and chicken salad, Oh and rotisserie chicken at the grocery store with a bag of salad and you got dinner. And there are some really good garlic butter and herb fish fillets in the frozen food section that are very very good. I like them a lot but can get a little expensive.

Viola, If you have a Sav A Lot near you, they have some great deals on individual servings of fish. I paid about a dollar each for tilapia filets a couple of weeks ago. They are single-serving, so I can just put one in a pan with some lemon and italian dressing and they cook in minutes. Great when I'm hungry and have had a long day! :)

      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.
