Bored with food! So I went to surfing the net. I dont know much about pintrest but the last couple of days I have found a lot of healthy Protein recipes on Pintrest.

So for those of you in search for some recipes you may want to try there. I googled "pintrest high protein meals" "pintrest low fat meals," ect. Just thought some may want to knw. Have a great night.

Also try searching WLS or weight loss surgery boards. I have found many recipes on there, you may have to tweak them a bit to make them sleeve friendly. Lots of Soups are good meals for us too. Quinoa is a great Protein to add to soups or make a sweet morning Cereal. Lots of options, you can always change a recipe and add things we can eat and leave out what we can't.

You can also just cook it and serve it as a side dish. I make mine with chicken broth for a side. You can also just cook it in Water, sweeten it and add cinnamon and a splash of milk for a Breakfast cereal. I add Unjury unflavored Protein to it for extra protein.

I would treat it like Barley or rice, it would be fine in any soup recipe that calls for Them. I think it would work fine for the enchilada soup, I think adding at the beginning would be ok or you can cook it separately and ladle your soup over it in the bowl. It cooks pretty quickly. I have made casseroles with it by adding low fat cream soup and chicken meat, topping it with some cheese and baking for about 25-30 minutes. My husband eats it too and he likes it. There is a recipe on Pinterest for quinoa broccoli casserole, which is made Like the broccoli rice casserole recipes with a cheese sauce.

There is a great recipe for quinoa and black Beans. I add a bit of textured veggie protien to up the protien content. It is great.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
