Protein after 5 weeks

[Barbara H. 9]

My Dr. lists only fish, tuna (YUCK!) and cottage cheese as Proteins at this point. Any suggestions for other proteins? liquid calories aren't allowed any longer.

I ate a lot of low-fat ricotta cheese (1/4 cup) mixed with a Splenda and a few drops of vanilla. I can’t do tuna either.

Canned salmon, white fish of any kind, salmon of any kind, canned/pouch tuna, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs (soft scrambled, soft omelets, soft boiled, soft fried), cheese (some do cheese). If you can do canned tuna, you can do canned chicken. Makes all kinds of good things!!

This isn't a forever thing...it's only for a brief window. We can withstand anything for short periods of time.

Any Beans such as refried, lentils

The Beans are a good option. I do eggs. Completely forgot about that. They said tuna is OK but no canned chicken. Have no idea why but they did specify that. I actually like canned chicken and hate tuna. Don't like anything really fishy so have gone with Haddock and cod. You are right-only for a short period and I will keep that in mind.

Oooooooh I like that ricotta cheese suggestion-sounds really good! Thanks!

Look up eggface's ricotta bake. Really easy and good. I also like to add a little pureed spinach to it for a bit of a zing.

Yay! I will try that. Love spinach!
