I thought I would take a few minutes and see if people might be interested in sharing their favorite hi Protein recipes.... I was getting ready to make a grocery list and thought I would get others input first… maybe if we share some recipes/ideas, you could help us all? Sometimes it's nice to try other things and check out other's input.

My new breakfast...... Odd thing is I never liked oatmeal but I seem to be doing well with it now.

One package of Quaker Protein instant oatmeal

One cup of almond milk or 1/2 cup milk & 1/2 cup of Water ( heated up)

1 1/2 scoops of vanilla Protein Powder (i've been using Chike)

1 tbsp chia seeds

Cook in microwave until it thickens- usually about 2 1/2 minutes

Additions:

I've been adding some chopped up walnuts and little blueberries just to give it a little something but I'm sure you could add whatever you'd like. Gives it some of the good fats, a bit more Protein and antioxidants.

Being that I have trouble getting my protein, this is been a successful Breakfast that I've had twice now. I'm also disabled and cooking, especially in the morning, is not easy for me at all. This is easy and healthy.

Ok... Maybe this shouldn't be my new breakfast.. I just calculated all of the numbers.... How it is 618 calories... I don't know... I thought I was doing good finding something that had a good amount of protein in it… – 40 grams...

      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.
