Some Recipes for people unable to get protein and would like to try something new....



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am post-op RNY 2/7/18 and determined to get my Protein in so I have tried to be creative for Phase 1 of my full-liquid diet. This is just me wanting to share for anyone wanting to try it out. I am not a fan of the Protein Shakes. I have yet to make Decaf with protein premier.

#1- Protein Creamy Jell-O

8oz vanilla Premier Protein shake

8oz Fairlife Milk

4oz Water

2.5 tbsp of plain gelatine

Warm 4oz of water and mix jell-o packs add to the milks and divide into 2oz cups. Let sit in fridge for 1 hour.

Mixture makes 12 x 2oz cups. Each one should total to about 2.9 grams of protein per 2oz cup. They are good. Remember to mix really well in water before adding to cold milk. You don’t want any lumps. I am not the best at typing up recipes so I apologize.

#2 Protein broth

16oz Sams Choice Vegan Protein Broth (9 grams per serving Protein)

4 oz Cream of chicken ( 2 grams per serving Protein)

4 oz Chicken Broth (2 grams per serving Protein)

Heat all in small sauce pot or microwave. I prefer in a sauce pot. Per 2oz portion it is 2.2 grams of protein.

It may not seem like a lot, but Protein adds up and taste better warm or in texture vs liquid all the time. Good luck to everyone. Again, I am just placing down a couple of things I tried today and it seemed to help. Just my experience to yours. Also reminder low sodium and low fat items. Good luck!!!! If anyone else has other recipes, shoot them over. I would love to try new stuff!!

This sounds great! I make it with flavored sf Jello. Cuz you know, better living through chemistry!

I also :780_sparkling_heart: the creamy Protein Soups made not only with the cream of chicken, but also with cream of mushroom, and creamy poblano soups. Be sure to strain them though! Also with Tomato Soup it's a killer, too! I've also added unflavored to V-8, season it a little, then warm it. Tastes a little like Tomato Soup.

I also mix some Protein Powder with sf jello and either cottage cheese and blend it up til smooth, then thin it down, or add Greek yogurt so it's more like a jello salad. Mom used to make that when we were little using either sour cream or cream cheese. It was lovely. You can also use ricotta instead and not have to blend it.

You can also us cottage cheese with sugar free strawberry jelly mix well. It kind of taste like a strawberry cheesecake. We also make what my kids call Pony Puck, don't let the name scare you off it is very good. You take a large SF Jello (any favor you like) we use Strawberry. Add SF Fat Free Cool whip and a small container of cottage cheese add mandarin oranges drained mix well. It is so good!!

      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.
