Okay, here's my delima: I cannot stand hamburger meat since surgery, chicken gets stuck unless it's canned and I make chicken salad, I eat a lot of fish (and I'm getting tired of it), shaved turkey or ham, cheese (low fat), cottage cheese, I may eat a half of an 8" Quesadilla with low fat cheese in it. I'm getting burned out on my meals as I eat these things every day. I was wondering how you guys get your Protein in in other ways besides meat? I went to the dr last week and had .25cc's removed, he thought I was too tight, I'm 3 months post op by the way and before he came in his nurse blessed me out over drinking Protein shakes. I only drink them occassionally like before church when I'm in a hurry and it's simple and quick but she said that the only time I should be drinking them was pre op and post op. I felt like a scolded child, guess I should have said something to the dr but didn't. He such a sweetie and great bedside manner. Anyway, off the subject, back at hand, I haven't tackled pork chops or steak, scared to as if chicken gets stuck so will that. Open for suggestions. thx

Peanut Butter

Yes, I will eat a tablespoon of peanut butter as a snack and that is good.

Hummus!

Is Peanut Butter ok? I thought it wasn't.

Hm? I've never been told that it isn't bad for me so I eat a spoon of it about twice a week if I need a snack at night. I've never tried Hummus, can you buy it?

I thought Peanut Butter was bad too. I've learned from LBT and MFP that there are many roads to the same destination and everyone has a different map. I love Peanut Butter (crunchy) and now I will try it, in moderation. Ive been snacking on cashews a little.

Yes you can. I get mine at trader joes but a lot of stores carry it in the deli department. It's just puréed chickpeas and other seasoning really yummy and high in Protein.
