I am sorry to hear you are struggling. It would help to know more details.

Are you pre-or post-op?

What phase/stage are you on?

What is your Protein target?

Are you tracking your food?

What exactly are you struggling with?

Meal wise, have a couple that I have made of late. Favorite by far is Crack Slaw, threw in a couple japelenos, extra siriachi, and sweetened with 3 packetts of Sweet and Low (otherwise followed directions). I love it by itself or wrapped lettuce. My daughter actually likes it as main ingrediant for either tacos or burritos. Definately low carb/high protien. The other one I like is lasagna, made with sliced eggplant. The trickis to bake the eggplant slices first, before using for layering. Tried the zuchini lasagna recipe first but didn'tt care for it, switched out with eggplant and love it.

on the weekend I will often put chicken breasts in the crock pot with salt, pepper and garlic and keep the shredded meat in the fridge. it is easy to add different types of seasoning to small amounts of the mix to get different flavors (italian with sauce if you are craving italian, greek seasoning or mexican depending on what you want)

I also do the same with a mix of ground turkey breast and ground sirloin. sometimes I portion some out, add black Beans and mexican seasoning toss on some shredded cheese and top it with a small dollop of reduced fat sour cream for a nachos flavor without the chips.

I keep several appropriate size containers on hand so I can portion this out on the weekend with different flavors for my lunch meals, so normally when I get ready for my work week I have 5 lunches ready to grab and go and they are all different.

for a snack this morning I had half a cup of reduced fat cottage cheese with 1/3 of an apple. very satisfying. if I need a snack this afternoon (I am the late person at work) I have a Power Crunch chocolate bar, because if we are here late, I am going to need some chocolate.

A rotisserie chicken makes several meals. My husband has a few slivers of smoked salmon, and I might have tuna on lettuce. We make very simple decisions in the kitchen now. One filet mignon feeds the two of us, when I find them on sale. Sometimes we have steamed cabbage and low fat turkey kielbasa. Fish is our favorite meal, saltwater such as Mahi, Grouper, Snapper, or flounder, with Old Bay seasoning, sautéed in a little EVOO.
