Maintenance phase snacks and other protein ideas



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I was sleeved Dec. 7th so far I'm down 50 lbs. Kinda getting bored with the same old Protein song and dance of cheese, chicken,yogurt looking for other ideas like nuts (what kinds,how many oz.)and any other snack or meal ideas. So far I've not had any problems keeping things down or pains (fingers crossed) so all ideas welcome :) Thanks

@@Kindle,

Great list! I am intrigued by the cottage cheese/ muscle milk idea. I will have to look that one up.

Don't know that there's anything to look up since I made it up..... I did a lot of experimenting with Protein powders early on. I basically just stir the cake batter Protein Powder in the cottage cheese and maybe add a splash of milk if it's too thick. Sorry, I don't measure stuff so I can't give you an exact recipe. I've sprinkled crumbled graham crackers on top for a super yummy treat, but that may be too many carbs for someone that tracks.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
