Donna,

I am also a single and while I haven't had surgery YET, looking forward to it sometime after the first of the year. Yes, you can freeze in mason jars. I use the 4 oz jars for everything!! I made sugar free jello the other day and it said there were 8 servings in the package as made - I made 11 servings in the little jars - so I saved a few calories! Yay. You can microwave the jars as long as you remove the lid and rings. One sort of yummy meal I make in mason jars (and freeze) is a meatball with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese. Not sure if that equals the amount of protein needed in a meal but works great with a salad or other side dish of veggies.

I tend to stay away from anything plastic that will go in the microwave so keep that in mind when choosing your containers.

I also make things like meat loaf in muffin cups and freeze them individually. I have not tried them in mason jars - might work but I find it just as easy to make in the muffin cups - I use a silicon muffin "pan".

Hope this helps.

If you look up the world according to eggface site, she has a lot of great recipes. Good luck.

I have been on the Supervised Weight Loss diet since 8/5.  In the beginning I ate scrambled eggs and omelets for breakfast every day.  To say the least, I got burnt out.  

I spoke to my dietitian about my breakfast problem. She gave me a recipe to to try, individual egg fritatas.  They were just okay, still tasted like egg (duh).  So I turned to my Premier Protein shakes for breakfast.  

I can't have any white carbs so cereals of any kind are out.  Does anyone have a special breakfast recipe that can lift me out of my breakfast funk?  I only have 22 days until my RNY.  I prefer not to continue drinking my PP shakes during my remaining time since I will HAVE to be on shakes after surgery.

My 1st experience of cooking and eating spaghetti squash was in August.  I made "spaghetti" with meatsauce.  It was okay.

My 2nd experencing with spaghetti squash was this Spaghetti Squash Casserole.  I was awesome!  My husband even tried it later that night as a snack.  He LOVED it.  I have prepared it for dinner (at my husband's request) 2 more times.  This dish is definitely our favorite meal.  BTW, neither of us likes squash, so we just don't discuss that this meal is made with squash...LOL!!

I am 2 months post op on the 14th

I have a low budget to buy food and I only do simple recipes.

I like chicken, turkey, tuna, hambuger, I like tacos, and asperagus etc

I eat about 1/4th of a cup maybe a little more depending on the food.

I am always running and I need something I can have on hand that I dont need a microwave for.

I do get the p3 protein packs I like them( there ok right?)

I like chocolate and after a meal I will have maybe, but not all the time a taste of it.

I am not a big cooker but I cook

My NUT says we need to be below 10g in carbs, fat, sugar and high in fiber and protein I kinda find that hard because one thing might be high and all the rest ok or something ellse is high and the rest ok... its frustrating
