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!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
