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!!

      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.
