Ground turkey, greek yogurt, string cheese, cottage cheese, chicken cooked in the crockpot, tuna, hard boiled eggs, avocado, turkey burger, turkey bacon, salmon, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, kale, chickpeas, watermelon, berries...

pick a Protein and pair it with a veg and or fruit. mix things up to keep it interesting.

instead of sour cream - use non fat plain greek yogurt.

be patient with introducing new foods to your new tiny tummy.

I'm full of ideas - let me know if you need any recipe ideas...I've got a ton! :)

Made these the other night and they were great. Make some taco meat using beef or turkey. You can use a taco meat spice packet, or if you have garlic power, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper, you can make you're own. I like to make my own. Brown it then add some Water and the seasonings and let it cook down. I used romaine leaves at the shells. At this point you can put whatever toppings you like on it. This time, I just put some grated cheddar, and some fresh avocado slices. Hope this helps.

I leave for work every day at early-thirty so for Breakfast most days lately I have at my desk either a string cheese and a few triscuts or a greek yogurt with pecans. Sometimes if I'm on the ball and have boiled eggs the night before I will have a boiled egg.

For lunch I pretty much always take whatever dinner leftovers I had from the night before.

Here is a dinner idea and go to this website for a ton of great recipes from a bariatric surgery patient who loves to cook!

@@Jerr_Bear - This works for non meat eaters as well. I just get BeyondMeat crumbles.

To @@JennG25 - You can really eat just about anything. Just keep it simple and make sure it's moist. eggs cooked any way you like them. Also greek yogurt really is a power house. I add a scoop of Protein powder and let it chill to a pudding consistency.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
