Don't know what to cook? Spanish, Thai, Jamaican, Lebanese, American or Indian?



Recommended Posts

For once, I got organized, made a mental list, went to costco and shopped with recipes in mind. SO not me, but it's worked out well. This week, I'll be posting the following recipes. In parentheses are what I bought at Costco for each recipe. I also tried to make smaller portions because I'm still cooking for an army, and we're having too many leftovers. So I defrosted one package of chicken thighs, and used them for two recipes here.

I'm also going to try to be better at posting nutritional labels for the food. All are high Protein and low carb.

  • Spanish smoky proscuitto wrapped shrimp (Frozen shrimp in blue bag, and proscuitto di cittero)
  • Thai Chicken curry in the crockpot (chicken thighs. These come in a package of 6. I used half a package--2 thighs for this)
  • Jamaican chicken curry (chicken thighs. These come in a package of 6. I used half a package--2 thighs for this)
  • Lebanese Kafta Kabab with ground beef.
  • American Hake with lemon pepper and butter (Hake loins. Individually frozen making them very sleeve-friendly. Big bottle of lemon pepper seasoning. Huge! Might try to find someone who wants half)
  • Indian whole "roast" chicken in a crockpot with garam masala (whole chicken)

I will NOT be posting my inedible attempt at a chicken enchilada casserole. Sigh. I will try this one again. It looked beautiful and tasted...not beautiful.

      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.
