Some Recipes for people unable to get protein and would like to try something new....



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am post-op RNY 2/7/18 and determined to get my Protein in so I have tried to be creative for Phase 1 of my full-liquid diet. This is just me wanting to share for anyone wanting to try it out. I am not a fan of the Protein Shakes. I have yet to make Decaf with protein premier.

#1- Protein Creamy Jell-O

8oz vanilla Premier Protein shake

8oz Fairlife Milk

4oz Water

2.5 tbsp of plain gelatine

Warm 4oz of water and mix jell-o packs add to the milks and divide into 2oz cups. Let sit in fridge for 1 hour.

Mixture makes 12 x 2oz cups. Each one should total to about 2.9 grams of protein per 2oz cup. They are good. Remember to mix really well in water before adding to cold milk. You don’t want any lumps. I am not the best at typing up recipes so I apologize.

#2 Protein broth

16oz Sams Choice Vegan Protein Broth (9 grams per serving Protein)

4 oz Cream of chicken ( 2 grams per serving Protein)

4 oz Chicken Broth (2 grams per serving Protein)

Heat all in small sauce pot or microwave. I prefer in a sauce pot. Per 2oz portion it is 2.2 grams of protein.

It may not seem like a lot, but Protein adds up and taste better warm or in texture vs liquid all the time. Good luck to everyone. Again, I am just placing down a couple of things I tried today and it seemed to help. Just my experience to yours. Also reminder low sodium and low fat items. Good luck!!!! If anyone else has other recipes, shoot them over. I would love to try new stuff!!

This sounds great! I make it with flavored sf Jello. Cuz you know, better living through chemistry!

I also :780_sparkling_heart: the creamy Protein Soups made not only with the cream of chicken, but also with cream of mushroom, and creamy poblano soups. Be sure to strain them though! Also with Tomato Soup it's a killer, too! I've also added unflavored to V-8, season it a little, then warm it. Tastes a little like Tomato Soup.

I also mix some Protein Powder with sf jello and either cottage cheese and blend it up til smooth, then thin it down, or add Greek yogurt so it's more like a jello salad. Mom used to make that when we were little using either sour cream or cream cheese. It was lovely. You can also use ricotta instead and not have to blend it.

Yum writing down some of this. Yes omg I don’t want to stick to the bland stuff I love flavors and texture. Plus makes each day fun when you wake up and feel chef life haha. Thanks!

You can also us cottage cheese with sugar free strawberry jelly mix well. It kind of taste like a strawberry cheesecake. We also make what my kids call Pony Puck, don't let the name scare you off it is very good. You take a large SF Jello (any favor you like) we use Strawberry. Add SF Fat Free Cool whip and a small container of cottage cheese add mandarin oranges drained mix well. It is so good!!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
