Bored with food! So I went to surfing the net. I dont know much about pintrest but the last couple of days I have found a lot of healthy Protein recipes on Pintrest.

So for those of you in search for some recipes you may want to try there. I googled "pintrest high protein meals" "pintrest low fat meals," ect. Just thought some may want to knw. Have a great night.

Also try searching WLS or weight loss surgery boards. I have found many recipes on there, you may have to tweak them a bit to make them sleeve friendly. Lots of Soups are good meals for us too. Quinoa is a great Protein to add to soups or make a sweet morning Cereal. Lots of options, you can always change a recipe and add things we can eat and leave out what we can't.

You can also just cook it and serve it as a side dish. I make mine with chicken broth for a side. You can also just cook it in Water, sweeten it and add cinnamon and a splash of milk for a Breakfast cereal. I add Unjury unflavored Protein to it for extra protein.

I would treat it like Barley or rice, it would be fine in any soup recipe that calls for Them. I think it would work fine for the enchilada soup, I think adding at the beginning would be ok or you can cook it separately and ladle your soup over it in the bowl. It cooks pretty quickly. I have made casseroles with it by adding low fat cream soup and chicken meat, topping it with some cheese and baking for about 25-30 minutes. My husband eats it too and he likes it. There is a recipe on Pinterest for quinoa broccoli casserole, which is made Like the broccoli rice casserole recipes with a cheese sauce.

There is a great recipe for quinoa and black Beans. I add a bit of textured veggie protien to up the protien content. It is great.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
