Recommended Posts

Have you thought of investing in a crockpot? There's hardly any prep time. Just toss in crock & let cook all night . Lots of recipes.< /p>

You can do Talipia fish, grilled Jennie o lean turkey burgers, tuna-tht can be made a variety of ways for diff taste, frozen meatballs-just add some sauce.. Frozen veggies are good with your meal.

I have not really looked into the crockpot at all (ive never used one). Though that does sounds like an interesting idea. But arent crockpots used for stews and casseroles?

You can use them for that. You can cook just about anything in them. You can toss some steaks, chicken, ect. Lots of recipes for the crockpot & very sleeve friendly. Ther's a few crockpot recipes in the recipe section.

There's one off the top of my head

Place chicken breast in crockpot & cover with a jar of salsa. Cook for 4-6 hours depends on the crockpot.

You can put just about any saeasoning on it. I find lots of receipes on pinterest crockpot recipes.

Crockpots are wonderful for moist, tender meat. I do the salsa chicken mentioned above. I also throw some carrots, celery and onions in the bottom of a crockpot, add a whole small roasting chicken that i have seasoned and cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hrs on low. Doesn't get browned, but it's so moist and yummy. Great for pulling off the bone and munching on or cooling down and making salads with.

I do roasts, pork chops, etc also. I bought one with a meat thermometer that cuts itself back to warm when the meat reaches temp.

crockpots are great for busy people.

A great snack food to have around (or if you're going to a party or event) is the hungry girl buffalo chicken dip recipe. I think it's somewhere in this board, I probably posted it at least once. It was one of my go-tos when I was still on purees/mushies. YUM!

I second the eggs. When I'm in a pinch ill have a quesadilla (cheese taco) and for extra Protein I throw some shrimp in there. If you have a whole foods near by their deli has an awesome selection of ready made dishes, the blackened chicken is my fav.

been making this for yearsssss. I like to use leftovers for Soup, gives it a southwest kinda flavor. Like tortilla soup (wo tortillas). add in whatever veggies you like, the left overs and some chicken stock. Let is simmer and it's a brand new meal! :)

Updates:

So I ended up following a few suggestions. The chicken and burgers from costco are wonderful. I got the ones that are already cooked and I just throw them in the microwave for a few and theyre ready to eat.

Teriyaki and Roasted Garlic chicken breasts are great! Also, the lean burgers are good too - but I tend to stick with the chicken. I also get frozen green Beans and throw them on top of whatever im microwaving and they get some of the flavor on them and arent bad.

Still havent gotten around to getting a crockpot or a foreman grill or anything of that nature, but im sure I will get around to it eventually.

      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.
