I make chicken burgers. I add egg spices garlic, cream of wheat or oatmeal to bind. Then mix in raw finely chopped onion and other veggies like mushrooms and zucchini. Broil or use panini to cook. Delish.

I'm 16 months post op so I eat everything in moderation now.

Early on I followed a low carb diet. Pinterest and Instagram became my best friend for recipes.

One of my favorite go to meals in taco salad!

I craved Ginger Peach chicken.

Pound of chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces....sauteed in olive oil and salt and pepper

Add:

1/2 cup of diced green peppers

2 Tablespoons of grated fresh ginger root

2 cans of peaches in natural juice (drain most of juice and keep it in fridge or smoothies)

2 Tablespoons Splenda (or sweeten to your preference)

2 Tablespoons corn starch in 2 Cups of cold chicken broth

let this simmer until it reduces and the juice thickens.

Serve a cup of it over a quarter cup of brown rice

Great topic! I had Buffalo Brussell Sprouts yesterday << who ever heard of such a thing? And they were DELICIOUS!!! I know they had Pete's Hot Sauce, Gorgonzalo cheese, hint of lemon, haven't tried to make them at home yet, but I certainly will! Multiple recipes online.

I am 5 weeks post surgery and can't eat solids yet. My favorite Breakfast is cottage cheese mixed with a little vanilla, cinnamon and splenda atop a whole wheat raisin cinnamon toast. Mikes Killer makes a small sized loaf of different varieties whole grain breads.

I was having a difficult time starting the soft foods diet, and I have always loved Soups, so I make a pureed tomato-basil Soup (A Cooking Light recipe). To increase Protein, I add unflavored whey protein. As my body started to allow me to swallow new foods, I started adding different things to it like turkey sausage and low fat mozzarella cheese.

Shrimp and zucchini noodles with pesto. And a chicken kale salad. Mainly because those are quick and easy to make and the one with kale is just sooo filling. Lol

They're both my go to recipes. I make them more than anything else, although meatballs aren't such a bad idea either... Don't mind me I'm kinda just debating about lunch for tomorrow now lol. Breakfast is a whole different story. 🙂

I bought a rotisserie chicken, and stripped the meat off and froze it into 50g juicy portions (you get maybe 15-20 off one chicken). Most days I thaw one out and have it in a salad, like:

- olives, jalapeños, gpickles and onion sauce

- lettuce, 4 halved cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper and feta whip/mayo

- small cauliflower florets, with mayo/whole grain mustard

- cucumber cubes, feta cubes

- chipotle mayo and edamame Beans

No end to the choices really - 1/2 cup makes a tasty lunch!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
