4 skinless boneless chicken breast

1/4 cup soy sauce (light)

1 small piece ginger

3 to 4 pinches sea salt

1 hour before

In a tupperware bowl - sprinkle salt and soy sauce over chicken. Cut the ginger into small slices (they don't have to be to small) and place over chicken. Cover and put in the fridge. (I usually do this in the morning before I leave for work, and when I come home its all ready to be cooked)

When ready to cook discard ginger and soy sauce mixture and grill chicken on a grill pan (Tefal makes a nice one it has little ridges on it, looks like a regular fry pan but has ridges to grill the meat) or on a grill, or bake in the oven.

Goes well with a ginger salad and white rice.

Serves 4

4 boneless skinless chicken breast

1 can ready made spaghetti sauce (low fat low salt)

1 cut shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

3 to 4 pinches sea salt

Salt the chicken. In a separate bowl mix spaghetti sauce with Parmesan cheese. Use a glass baking bowl and put the chicken in mixed with the spaghetti sauce. Bake at 400 - 420 in the over 20 to 30 min. Remove and sprinkle on mozzarella. Leave in another 5 min and then remove.

Boil some plain spaghetti with this (add a bit of sea salt to the boiling water) and there is usually some sauce left on the chicken pan that you can spoon over the spaghetti.

Serves 4

4 medium beef steaks (or 1 per person eating) thin cuts

2 to 3 pinces of sea salt (or meat tenderizer)

1 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce.

Put steaks in a Pyrex dish and pierce several times with a fork. Add salt and pepper and douse with sauce.

Bake in the oven at 400º for 30 min.

It usually leaves a nice aujuice sauce so the meat is tender and not dry. Don't over bake! Sauce can be spooned over rice or Pasta or potatoes.

(you could also vary this by using ginger and soy sauce instead of worcestershire sauce for an Asian flair)

By accident I overheated my corn tortilla. I broke off a piece and voilla! a baked tortilla chip.

1 Corn Tortilla (Mission lo fat)

Microwave on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't overbrown.

Allow to cool and break into "baked" tortilla chips

Spray with no cal butter spray and season to taste before microwaving if you like.

Made a great "cracker" for my mexican salad (lettuce, 1/4 C refried Beans, 1 T lite sour cream, pinch of shredded cheese and salsa). I think I found a new lunch:hungry: :hungry:

Where have I been? I'll bet lots of people know this trick!!!

I was on one of these threads and I can't remember wich one but they suggested a book called:

Before & After: Living & Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery

By: Susan Maria Leach

You can buy it on line in many different places. But after doing some online research I found some of her recipes online.

If you go to the address listed above you will find them.

Just thought I'd pass it on.

These are yummy cheesy pancakes with bits of onion. Tastes a lot like a potatoe pancake but healthier. These are addicting, in a good way. Good way to get more Protein in.

1 small onion diced finely

1 teaspoon butter - softened

1 egg

1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese

2 tablespoons flour

salt & pepper (to your liking)

non-stick cooking spray

In a bowl, beat the egg; blend in the onion, butter, cottage cheese, flour and salt and pepper. Mix well. Heat a non-stick skillet and spray with non-stick cooking spray. place 4 one-tablespoon scoops of batter in pan, spreading into rounds with spoon. (The original recipe calls for four 1/4 cup scoops but I found them too big and they wouldn't set for me) Cook over medium heat until set, flip and cook until lightly browned. Good served with a dab of low-fat sour cream.

Original recipe of 1/4 cup scoops makes 6 five-inch pancakes that serves 2 and each serving has 135 calories, 6g fat, 4g carbs, 10g Protein

:hungry:

Hi Everyone....I was excited to see there is a book out there called before and after bariatric surgery. I just ordered it and can't wait to read it! I also went to the website which was so informative.Thanks for sharing this information Ubermom1! If anyone has any good ideas how to get over a plateau please write me and let me know! I had to cut down my exercise to almost nothing since end of July and feeling the effects from it. I just started again exercising but still have a long ways to go from what I was doing. Need a jumpstart to get my metabolism going again. Look forward to any suggestions!

Thanks for listening!

Wishing everyone a continued happy and healthy journey!

Here are several ideas for homemade dressings. Buy a packet of Good Seasons Italian or any flavor packet with one of their mixing cruets. Where the recipe says to put Water to the water, instead put oil to the water line and where it says to put oil to the oil line put water. In other words just switch the amounts for the water and oil. It is very tasty and cuts most of the calories. Also, you can get the Ranch dressing packets from Hidden Valley and use non-fat or low fat mayo and non-fat or 1 % milk. These are much better tasting than the low-fat bottled products. You can also make low-fat French dressing by adding a little ketchup to low-fat or non-fat mayo. If you add a little sweet pick;e relish you have thousand island dressing. Hope this helps.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
