Best high protuen foods to eat



Recommended Posts

To dry fry' date=' I cut up my tofu and slow fry it with no oil or butter on a non stick griddle or you can use a cast Iron pan. I fry it on a lower heat to get the moisture out and crisp it up.

Tofu isn't really high in carbs, I buy mine at trader joes...

Also after you dry fry it you can do different things with it...like marinade in anything (it is tasteless so will soak up any flavor) and stir fry with veggies

I like it marinaded sometimes but I will also eat it just straight from the fridge cold after dry frying it

Korean tofu Soup is a good way to eat tofu. My favorite is silken tofu with chopped green onion tops, grated fresh ginger, and ponzu drizzled on it. It is low carb, low cal, and soft. I hope when I am sleeved I will be able to tolerate it bcuz its one of my favorite foods.

I actually eat turkey jerky because its a lot less fat. Only .5 per serving and bags I buy (Jack Links) have 3 servings so even if I ate the whole bag which would take me all darn day, its only 1.5 fat. It does have more sodium then other foods but I do not have high blood pressure, drink cup after cup of green tea all day long and dont add salt to any other food so I justify it that way to myself lol.

Jack Links makes 100-calorie bags of Jerky. I buy them in bulk at BJs. 17 or 18g of Protein per bag and keeps me from having to stare at a large open bag. Yeah, it's high in sodium, but such is life. :) I started eating it as soon as I was released to solid - solid food. Just chew thoroughly.

I was making some today and though of you! I saw another poster talked about silken tofu..

That is good for Soups and such but has a real watery consistency you want extra firm for dry frying and such..

Wow cool- what's it taste like, like that??

I'm scared to eat! I'm 2 days shy of being 3 weeks out but I'm still doing liquids only with a yogurt sometimes and blackbeans with laughing cow cheese

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
