August 6, 201213 yr This search on Google can help: tofu recipes ("low fat" OR "low calorie" OR healthful) Also, you can puree tofu in the blender along with some splenda or equal + Water or milk + fruit or Protein powder - even green leafy vegetables, such as spinach!. Puree it on the highest speed (I have a VitaMix). Add a few ice cubes and puree them as well. You have a smoothee. You essentially turntofu into a liquid. This pureeing technique works with firm, medium, soft and silken textures of tofu. I do find that different brands of tofu have different flavors. My own personal favorite brand is Mori Nu. You can order cases of Mori Nu online. But other people might find other brands to be better. Tofu always has helped me lose weight in the past. I hope that this information is helpful.
August 6, 201213 yr Trying to find new forms of Protein ! Any ideas? Tried turkey bacon ughh didn't like it! I need ideas I use unflavored protein from GNC. I mix it with applesauce. I got to have the applesauce ice cold. It has 21 grams of Proteins per scoop. I can't do vanilla, etc. "GOD IS WORKING ON YOUR BEHALF ,SO Keep having faith."<br />Your Sleeve Buddy <br />Zeta<br />
August 6, 201213 yr I have found I really enjoy eating cottage cheese, fish steamed with a little tarter sauce on it, cheese sticks, I love dried edamame, greek yogurt (some brands are nasty), Click ..
August 6, 201213 yr Have you tried hummus, I absolutely love it, it is a good snack and has Protein in it. I also eat a lot of cheese, nuts, chicken and a Protein shake every morning. Sent from my iPad using VST
August 6, 201213 yr Peanut butter on an apple, Hummus with some crackers. Cheese with grapes. These are things m NUT suggested. Basically pair protein with any carbs. I had asked for ideas of protein that wasn't meat. I have been eating this combos for the last week and lost almost 2 lbs this week. I was super nervous because it was new things but as long as that scale is going down and I am satisfied.... I'm good with it! Check our The South Beach books. SOOOOO many ideas!!!!
August 10, 201213 yr Hummus can be a great substitute for mayonnaise on low-carb bread for sandwiches. There is hummus at Trader Joe's (I do not have a financial interest in Trader Joe's or any hummus company) with and without tahini. There also are many flavors.
August 10, 201213 yr Well I've ate nuts I do like them! Chicken' date=' ugh my sleeve doesn't like it anymore!

Thanks for ideas so far I will use some of the ideas![/quote'] We buy our Salmon at costco if you have one by you. It's amazing! Grilled with lemon pepper and fresh lemon slices. My husband also picked up some protein pancake mix at a Vitamin store. I figure that will be a good once in a while source of protein also.
August 10, 201213 yr I dump two scoops of Protein powder into my coffee or use ready mixed Muscle Milk as creamer. It starts my day off right. I make a lot of the recipes from this site: http://bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com/p/favorite-recipes.html She has great ideas for increasing protein. When I was eating a lot of sliced deli meat, I found that experimenting with different types of meat really helped. I would wrap a piece of salami around a piece of ham made a big difference.
