Yes I'm struggling with my Protein and I think thats the problem but I just order my Protein shakes to get my 60-80g

I wake up and drink Water I find it if you workout you'll reach your 64oz I have a 32oz water bottle and I drink 2 of those so if I start drinkin my Water at 8a.m I'll finish that bottle around 12pm the reason being is because you can't eat and drink at the same time then the second bottle I drink my fav drink which is crystal light but I make popsicles so there you have it I drink my first 32oz and I eat my second 32oz (popsicles lol) but I get more than 64oz because I drink a lot of water

I hope so but my NUT also said to invest in a crockpot to soften the meats oh I also eat fish but just the inside I don't eat the breading

That's the phase I'm on... I'm eating fruit (no skin) tuna, chicken salad (light miracle whip) 2 chopped boiled eggs, scrambled egg for Breakfast (just 1) low fat yogurt.... I haven't tried lean ground beef or turkey yet but I'm getting there tho

All I can say is when you have to cough grab you a soft pillow and hold it to your stomach I'm not saying you won't feel pain you just won't feel as much pain Good luck

Love my instant pot! I make everything and anything in it and you can literally throw away your slow cooker.
Some of my favorites:
Mexican chicken Taco meat
Beef Stew
Beef barley Soup
Stuffed peppers
Meatballs
Corned beef
Brisket
Pulled pork
Loaded baked potato Soup
Shrimp corn chowder
My family was here for thanksgiving and on Friday they wanted some of my famous loaded baked potato soup so i had to oblige but this time i used my instant pot.
It took me longer to chop all the veggies and brown off the bacon than it did to make the soup in the instant pot. And because i browned the bacon in there, that smoky flavor went through the whole soup it was delicious.
Most meals take less than 15 minutes once the pot comes up to full pressure which takes about 10. You just have to remember to add some liquid which helps with the steam.
I will never make stuffed pepper in the oven again. I use 85% ground beef, a sautéed onion which i do on sauté in the pot ahead of time, a handful of minute rice (i have used brown rice), an egg, salt and pepper and about 1/4 cup of bread crumbs. I mix all that up in a bowl and stuff my peppers. I set them on the bottom of the instant pot, pour over a can of Tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of chicken stock. I set it manually for 15 minutes and then do an instant release. The peppers are cooked perfectly and that green pepper flavor makes its way through the meat. It is absolutely simple and delicious.
When i make chicken taco meat, i sauté an onion with the sauté setting, then i rub 2 or 3 chicken breasts with taco seasoning. I make my own from cumin, chili power, garlic & onion salt and a small amount of salt and pepper. I chop a poblano pepper into a small dice and one clove of garlic. Throw it all in the pot with a small can of tomato sauce and 1/2 cup chicken stock. I set it on manual for 15 minutes, do an instant release. Then i shred the chicken and put it back in the pot. Honestly, i could eat that chicken with a fork right out of the pot. Sometime i make it into enchiladas or a chicken taco salad. But truthfully you could eat it just the way it is.
I also leverage the heck out of pinterest for instant pot ideas. You can make rice and bake potatoes for your family in minutes but my favorite dishes are usually meats. I want to try a recipe for Barbacoa mexican beef. For what ever reason i like spicy foods right now.
I hope you have a blast with it! I love mine......incidentally you may want to buy a couple of back up seals. Keep one for making Desserts and the other for savory foods. No matter what you do to clean them, they always smell like whatever you last cooked.
I think i use my pot 2 to 3 times or more per week and i dont cook everyday.

I had ordered premier high protein it's 30g of protein in 11oz carton

Thats not bad I'll have to look into that

Ooh yes at times I questioned myself as to if I made the right decision but I did because I feel better and I see a big difference and so does everyone else now I just got to get back to working out more

Wow that was fast I had gastric bypass and was in the hospital for 2 days

Best of luck and congrats... plz keep us posted

Oh another thing I had found it hard to get my 64oz of liquid by just sipping but u gotta do it.... make sure you get your 60-80g of protein... thats something I'm struggling with now but I just ordered me some Protein Shakes

It was painful...I didn't want to eat and barely wanted to drink I was constipated for a whole week I kept calling the surgery flr telling them the problem they kept telling all kinds of things to buy (so be careful with pain meds because that is what going to cause your constipation) if you have a recliner sleep in it that will be your best friend

Don't feel bad I had my gastric bypass Oct 27th and I only lost 11lbs
