I like, and my sleeve tolerates, all dairy sources of Protein, plus veggie sources--beans, peas, lentils, nuts, tofu, avocado. I also really love shellfish--shrimp, crawfish, lobster (ha! had some on a cruise, not at home, that's for sure).

Well I've ate nuts I do like them! chicken, ugh my sleeve doesn't like it anymore! I'm a month and a week out and my daily intake consists of cheese , nuts Protein Shakes, milk , kidney Beans, refried beans - kashi almond flax bars - almonds that's it! I've ate tuna and tilapia a few times a week! I love salmon but can't seem to find a good place to get it where it's not dry- other than dining out! Ideas are welcome ! Thanks for ideas so far I will use some of the ideas!

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
