TOFU! so yum if you cook it right. try the silky tofu in a Soup. My fav tofu dish I can't have anymore... deepfried tofu covered with sweet chilli sauce, pineapple and cucumber... nom nom nom. But don't do that.

and don't forget the humble egg. and fiiiiiiiiish

I know I do not get enough Protein in my food, and since surgery I am not a big meat eater anymore. I just drink my Protein Shake @ 50 grams of protein per shake. I usually have a yogurt and cottage cheese daily so I get about 80 grams daily.

Weird how every surgeon is different.. Mine wants me to drink one Protein Drink a day.. 2 if I can.. And do that forever! I still get a good bit of protein from eating

Sorry kristy, I never saw this- silky tofu is really soft cream like tofu. You can use it like cream. Some people add it to pudding, Soups for a creamy base or some Desserts. It helps boost your Protein and is flavorless.

My surgeon said the same thing. I try to get as much as I can in, then if it isn't enough come night time I have half of a Protein Bar.

Dairy products and cheese are good sources of protein, Beans, soy products. I'm really tired of meat also.
