2 Months Out - Need Food Ideas
RNY on 07/31/12
I do alot of deli ham & cheese rollups. Pinto's & cheese. Cut up apples or banana's with peanut butter. I use those multi grain w/flax seed flatout bread thingies & spread peanut butter on it with a little grape jelly & roll it up. Cheese string. Homemade Veg. beef soup. Just some of the things I eat.

Someone posted a site suggestion (not sure who it was, but I LOVE you). Check out www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com
I was just going through her site and found an enormous list of homemade protein ice creams...more flavors than baskin Robbins for sure! She has a ton of recipes that I've started listing for when I start eating again.
I had pretty much settled myself on the no more ice cream thing, then found her list...I told my husband I'm making these! I'll be in HEAVEEEEN...he said "What, you're not in heaven with me??" I said of coarse I am (since I really do have the best husband in the WORLD), but if I can be in heaven with you AND a bowl of ice cream, damn straight I will!! :D

Here are ideas that I hope help.
Wendy's Chili with cheese
Ham and Cheese Omelet with Salsa
Ham and cheese roll-ups with spicy mustard
Coco Lights topped with tuna, sf jam and peanut butter, or ham salad
Oatmeal with sugar free maple syrup and mashed banana
Meatballs in sauce, with melted provolone cheese and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese
Slow cooked (crock pot) beef or chicken stew

All the above are great.
Also I used a lot of cottage cheese and baked or broiled fish. Fish was the easiest protein on my system probably because it was soft.
For snacks I was using the string mozzarella sticks, deli slices of meat and cheese, and mini-crab cakes....I used to find frozen ones that were high in protein and were delicious!

I have a new obsession:
Banana Protein Muffins:
Banana Protein Muffins:
Ingredients
3/4 cup | Ripe banana (about 1 large banana) |
3/4 cup | Egg whites |
1/2 cup | Plain low fat greek yogurt (I used plain Chobani yogurt) |
3/4 cup | Oats (use gluten free if sensitive to gluten) |
2 scoops | Vanilla protein powder (I used Designer Whey™, or you could use any flavor you would like!) |
1/4 cup | Baking stevia OR 1/2 cup sweetener of choice that measures like sugar 1 |
1 tsp | Baking powder |
1 tsp | Baking soda |
1/2 tsp | Cinnamon Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray, or line with silicone or foil liners, (spray liners if using). 2Place all of the ingredients in a blender, (or food processor), and blend until mixture is smooth. 33. Divide mixture evenly between 12 muffin tins. 4Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. (Note: be sure to use either silicone or foil liners with the paper insert removed because they will stick, as does any muffin made with oats rather than flour!) |
