Awesome Portable Protein Source



Recommended Posts

This past week my nutritionist gave me an awesome tip on how to get Protein in. I have been having trouble meeting the minimum requirement AND getting in all my Water. She suggested that I try dried edamame (soy beans). She said salted was fine or even one serving a day can be with dried fruit. Just 1/4 of a cup gives you 14 grams of protein & only 2 grams of net carbs. It is the easiest protein to bring out & about too. 1/4 cup in a ziploc bag fits in even a tiny purse. It is also great if you are missing foods that are salty and crunchy. It really helped me to meet my nutritional goals for the week. Just thought that I would pass it along! :)

these are real good, I buy them at www.Nuts.com / http://www.nuts.com/...d-unsalted.html

they're way better than peanuts, loaded with protien. Just waiting that they be ok for post op diet which it seems this week I just now get a bag. They also sell fresh edamame un roasted bagged at area grocers, unsure that I can roast them I can how ever saute them, steam or add to recipe but haven't ventured so far, just love the roasted snack.< /p>

You can also but a large bag at Sam's club that has several individual bags inside. You just pop in the microwave and let them heat up and then eat. they even come with little salt packets if you want to salt them. Ive been eating them for years in place of popcorn when we do movie night at home.

      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.
