protein PROTEIN protein

As WLS post-ops, PROTEIN is drilled into our heads from Day 1. I (Jennifer) still shoot for 60-70g of protein each day, and Richard shoots for 70-80g/day. Some days we have to get creative with the foods we eat, and I've definitely been experimenting in the kitchen a lot more these days with tons of recipes from blogs like www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com.

These are a few of my favorite protein packed go-to's:


Pork Rinds. {we don't eat them all the time, but it's a nice crunchy salty snack}


Laughing Cow Wedges. {spread on some cucumber slices... oh yum}


Nuts. {not for the early post-ops but I enjoy them for a snack - be careful of high fat nuts}


Sushi. {my absolute favorite is the Ron Roll from Red Bowl - cream cheese, crab & cucumber. I could eat it every day and be happy}


Wendy's Chili. {tried & true and still just as yummy as that 5th day out of the hospital}


Tuna Salad. {I eat this about every day on some cucumber and tomato slices. It's packed with protein and I know it will always settle well}
