Protein find



Recommended Posts

Just thought I'd share. I was at Trader Joes today and found mahi mahi burgers. 1g card and 14g Protein. Haven't tried them yet but sounds good!

Salmon burgers are also an excellent source. The Trident Seafoods brand has 20g of Protein per patty. costco sells them, at least in Seattle they do. Super easy to prepare!

Salmon burgers sound interesting. How do you prepare/serve them with?

I'm not a fan of salmon - it's too fishy for me. But the Mahi Mahi burgers were awesome! I think I might try making different kinds on my own so I can control the ingredients.

Now that it's too cold to grill I just cook them in a skillet with some Pam or EVOO. I put them on the grill in the summer.

You just fry them up. They are frozen just like the turkey burgers they sell at costco. My son makes a regular burger with them (Bun and the fixings) I eat just the patty and dip it in mustard (I'm weird) :P They are tasty and moist.

I know salmon can be a real fishy flavor - which isn't my favorite - what abt mahi mahi? Is the fishy flavor more subtle?

Mahi mahi is more mild than salmon. I might try making some with cod for my kids. They aren't big fans of fish so we shall see. Could maybe even try shrimp burgers.

Found a Protein Bar at Walmart that depending on what flavor you get has between 19-21 grams of Protein. It's called life choice, high protein bar. The nutritionist at the surgeons office was impressed with how good it actually was. Took one of my bars to share with others.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
