Looking for protein ideas...

I am still a ways out from surgery but trying to get ideas for when my day comes...
I eat very little meat, limited to ground turkey and small amounts of shredded chicken and do NOT like seafood. So, what will I use post-op for my protein intake? I have heard of using the veggie burger patties, but any other ideas?
Thanks all!

 Well, there are protein powders that you can make shakes out of as well as adding to other thing. I used a lot of unflavored whey isolate in anything I could. There is also Greek yogurt, chili, cheese, nuts, beans, cottage cheese, ricotta, milk, eggs to name a few things. There are websites like Bariatric Foodie and Eggface that have lots of different recipes.
I found that getting in at least 100 grams of protein and at least 100 oz of fluids everyday really helped me lose weight good.

 I think you can increase protein intake by taking protein shakes that are low in fat and calorie. Further, you can also include  high protein like oatmeal, pancakes, simple tuna and bean salad. In addition, you can take protein supplements also.

Oatmeal and pancakes are not usually high in protein, though they are high in carbs.

On a typical day I start with a Chobani Yogurt (16g), then over the next 2 hours I drink 2 servings of skim milk (14g). For lunch I have pureed pinto and or red beans seasoned with various seasonings like taco, fajita, guacamole. I add "natural" flavored Genisoy to the beans, and I estimate that has at least 20g of protein. I don't fret too much about dinner. But I do use EAS protein shakes on occassion. Zone protien bars are also good, but are only about 10-12g each.

As I said, that's a 'typical' day, my weekends, consist of whatever I feel like eating.

I like some Greek yogurt (fat free, unflavored) and I add a teaspoon of sugar-free jam to it.  I can't take in chicken (tried every which way, always comes back up), but I like to get lean slices of deli meat (watch the salt), and edamame too.
Or try some protein bars after a few weeks (moving into solid foods), I use the Simply Bar (gluten free, low carb/sugar, and sits good inside), but you may need to try a bit of different things to find what works for you.

You know what your food preferences and food dislikes are before surgery, BUT, as a post op, usually your tasted "changes" and your fav foods may not be tolerated at all.  Seafood is a high protein source for a diet choice, and it may be to your liking post op.  Some post ops turn into vegetarians since they have issues tolerating meat.  I really like bison burgers, but their cost doesn't allow me to have them as much as I like.  Lowest price I can find is $9.50 for 3 of the 1/3 pound patties. I cook one patty in my Sunbeam Rocket Grill, and cut the cooked bison patty in half. One slice of whole wheat toast, spread with mustard, add a little onion, half the bison patty, and I have a small burger.  So the 1 pound of bison allows me to have 6 high protein burgers that I enjoy.  Shrimp is on my diet too. Often my local Stater Brothers market has them on sale, about 40% off, or has sales "buy 1 get 1 free" several times a year.  I took my wife to see her bariatric doc after a 3 year "no see doc" basis.  Wife noted I liked shrimp, and the doc said that shrimp was a very good source of protein.  I asked doc about my protein labs, and she said my Albumin was 4.5 (scale of 4.0 to 4.8) indicating good protein intake. My wife has issues with eating enough protein, and her albumin level was a 4.0.  Quinoa or amararanth are grains high in protein, lentils offer good protein too.  You'll likely need whey isolate protein shakes to supplement protein intake for sweveral months post op.

I don't eat any meat at all.  I get about 90 grams of protein a day.  I eat dairy products, including Greek yogurt, cheese, and raw whole milk, I eat beans, I eat veggie burgers and other Morningstar Farms Meat substitutes, I use protein shakes and bars sometimes, and occasionally tofu though I'm not really a big fan of that.
