I thought it might be fun to share some food finds with each other. I'm not really talking about recipes, just things we find at the market that are really tasty, high in Protein and ready to serve or easy to cook.

It might be a good idea to name the store or website etc that you found it on.

For instance, I found at Trader Joe's

Turkey meatballs

Serving size is two meatballs

100 calories

4g of fat

5g of carbs

1g of sugar carbs

2g of Fiber carbs

12g of Protein

They come fully cooked in a 1 pound frozen bag and have no artificial color or flavor and no preservatives.

And they're really delicious!

I had trouble eating two but they are a great alternative to tuna which is getting a little boring to me.

Here's a recipe that we recently discovered that is absolutely to die for! So far we've done this with rainbow trout and tilapia and both are excellent. Super simple.

Take whatever fish you prefer and put it on sheet of aluminum foil on a cookie sheet. You want the foil large enough to make a "steaming bag" by folding the top and ends. You'll want to be sure to have enough so there is open space above the fish. Add a generous amount of store bought salsa - we used the Tostito's medium spicy. Now put fresh cilantro on the top to taste (we love cilantro so we use quite a lot). Salt and pepper to taste or just add after cooking. Seal your tent on the top and one end and then add about an ounce of the cheapest beer you can find. Seal the second end and bake in the oven at 400 for about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish and how many pieces you have.

When it comes out of the oven, open the foil carefully - hot steam and you don't want all the salsa sauce to leak out. We serve it in bowls because the sauce is absolutely delicious!! Amazing!!

      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.

      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!
