I know this is an old post, but I drink ProtiDiet hot cocoa protein mix. Its amazing!
Old thread, but had to chime in. Cholula is my all time favorite. We go through a big Costco bottle every few weeks in my house. It's a pretty mild hot sauce but fantastic on just about anything.
I mix feta cheese, a half box of frozen spinach (all the liquid squeezed out of it) salt, pepper and an egg to 1 lb of turkey breast. Delicious!!! I also make home made tzatziki sauce to spoon over it. That's made with plain greek yogurt, a half cucumber, lemon juice, salt & pepper.
We got 12 individual rollatinis out of this recipe. I would eat 2 of them for dinner, so that would only be 6 servings. I am in maintenance, earlier on I would probably only have eaten one of those pieces, so 12 servings.
How many servings do you get out of this? Curious as 8 servings weigh in at 355 calories, 19g protein, 18g carbs.

I've made this several times pre-op. So good. Personally, I also like to add high quality no sugar added bacon. I cook the bacon about halfway, then I add it between the cheese and the eggplant. So good and a little extra protein. Makes a little smokier tasting too!
Holy cow, this was amazing! Here is the ingredient list if you're debating rather to click on the link:
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large eggplants (about 3 pounds total), sliced lengthwise (about 16 slices total)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1½ cups marinara sauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 15-ounce container ricotta
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 cups grated mozzarella (8 ounces)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan (1½ ounces)
So delicious! I've been making a ton of new recipes over the last year or so post-op, and this is one of my favorites to date. I know everyone loves the Eggface ricotta cheese bake (for good reason), and this is a very similar flavor, so give it a shot!

I have found that looking for healthier alternatives of pasta the easiest way to curb my cravings! . I just search for healthy alternatives of pasta on google!! Especially pesto gnocchi, so after a quick search online I found pesto kabocha gnocchi, had to google again to find out what this was, FYI fancy name for pumpkin.
Apparently homemade kabocha gnocchi is much healthier than regular potato! Took me a while to master, making it but I am a pro now, it literally takes me 25 minutes from getting home to having a delish pesto gnocchi on the table!
Another favorite pasta alternative is black bean spaghetti, its 92% black beans and water, its soooo yummy!
Hi I was also looking for something for after surgery and stumbled across this cookbook. it has 40+ Bariatric-Friendly Pressure Cooker Chicken, Beef, Pork, Fish and Seafood Recipes for Post-Weight Loss Surgery. I hope it helps.

I grill them all (12 in a box from BJ's). I refreeze 6 and the other 6 I use for the week and dip into mild pace salsa. It's an easy make-ahead for the week.
