please share with me your game plan in getting in protein. any recipes you care to share? two great finds ,friendship brand protein percent cot cheese...1/2cup 16 g p over the hill brand milk 11 g p per cup.

Love the tofu recipe sue! dee...that is one heck of an allergy. the dairy/nuts/fish/soy/aspartame/gluten/waffles/wheat allergies folks at least get warning labels. Not sure if going vegan will help, but the Skinny b***h ladies have a really good vegan cookbook. Not many recipes online, though. http://www.skinnybitch.net/recipes.html

b***h isn't a bad word!! dang it.

Great thread--thanks PotterGirl!

...my list is so long it would take up a page! Have you guys tried yuba? Here is a recipe for yuba "ribs" which could pass for jerkey if cooked a little longer... made it with korean bbq sauce (too salty for me) then a Peanut Butter sauce...yum... I think sweet chili sauce will be next.... yuba is the skin from the soy milk making process, you can get it diferent ways, but this recipe uses the dry stick form... Im going to get some more today! Its good chopped up in a stir fry, with rice, on a sandwich....

I'm just transitioning to soft foods and today made a really good version of "The Biggest Loser" pancake: 1/4 cup of low-fat cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of instant oatmeal, and 1 to 1.5 egg whites (I used Just Whites in a carton). Blended it all in my vitamix. Very tasty!! I did the egg whites in the blender first to give them some volume. Ate with some SF Carey's maple syrup.

I haven't had that, but when I was in Montreal on vacation, I went to a well-known restaurant in Chinatown and they had the best sweet and sour tofu--it was made with the tofu "skin." I wonder if I could recreate a low-carb version....

Yes...you skin....hard it..i was in Montreal two years ago....where do you live?

so i use Swype on mykindle and it out key words...Lol..just so you guys don't think i speak up Like i type..

I have problems with dairy after my sleeve. I have been looking into a Vegan food plan. Posted Vegan topic no replys. It is hard to get Protein without dairy. I am on a new journey of clean eating. Getting off the artifical sweeteners.I do not eat very much processed food and never eat fast food (never did). Keep us posted on your progress..

Vegan sources of protein that I've liked have been:

Chia seeds

Quinoa

Vegan protein powders (blanking on the names, sorry!)

Tofu

Gimme Lean vegan sausage is really good, too!

There are also vegan Peanut Butter powders out there (Just Great Stuff brand) and I add that stuff to everything. SO GOOD! That and avocado are my saving graces.
