Topic: RE: Protein

I too had issues with the shakes after surgery. At one of my support group meetings they suggested Genpro. Amazon sells it. 30 grams protein per scoop and I mix with crystal light. That I can handle. 3 months out for me now and I still can't do the shakes. Good luck. Your post was back in December, so you probably have found something before now.

Topic: RE: Pizza

I use pork rinds for pizza. 1/4 cup crushed with 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Add one egg and italian seasonings and some garlic. I use parchment paper on a pizza pan and spread it out very thin. It may be sticky. If you barely wet your hands, it makes it easier. I cook it at 350 for 10 minutes. Then I take it off the paper and cook on just the pizza pan for about 5 more minutes(I like a crunchy base). Then I get it out and add cheese and my toppings. You put it in under broil for about 3ish minutes. Make sure you watch it close or it could burn. I take it out, cut it up and dip it in pizza sauce. 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.

Topic: RE: Eggplant Parmesan Rollatini

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.

Topic: RE: Eggplant Parmesan Rollatini

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
  • 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!
