Ok Day 1 there was a little bit of cheating that ensued.. It was difficult, today on DAY 2 it was NOT as difficult. I can say that I did have a forkful of soup that had some corn and black beans but the rest I have been drinking water or unsweet tea, chicken broth or trying protein shakes.. I can only drink about 10 oz of a protein shake I know I NEED more protein than that..
Tomorrow starts Day 3 and I can move to soft protein, like tuna..
Day 3: Soft Proteins
Recipes for Day 3
The next three days you get to eat as much as you want as often as you want! Ahhh, but there's a catch: it has to be solid protein and you only get 15 minutes each time you sit down to eat. No drinking 30 minutes before or after meals and no drinking with your food. A dry pouch will hold your soft protein longer helping your to feel full and fed longer.
Protein Recommendations: canned fish (tuna or salmon) mixed with lemon and seasoned with salt and pepper, eggs cooked as desired seasoned with salt pepper and/or salsa, fresh soft fish (tilapia, sole, orange roughy), baked or grilled, and lightly seasoned.
This starts your program with "soft" protein. Measure your portion (1 cup volume or 4-6 ounces weight) and eat only until you feel full, not overfull. Remember, no water for 30 minutes before or after you meal, and no fluids with your meal. We are going back to the beginning and fluids will prevent you from feeling the pouch. If you need to add a moist condiment ( Miracle Whip or mayonnaise) to the canned fish I understand, but keep it to a minimum so the meat is not too moist. One reason we lose the sense of tightness in our pouch is that we eat "slider foods" - foods that are too moist and do not stay in the pouch very long, they slide right through the stoma.
From Amy: On day 3, is cottage cheese o.k. for soft protein? When I was first starting my wls diet, it included cottage cheese, but that wasn't on your list. Also, when you are doing the liquid part of the diet, can you drink chicken boullion with protein added to it?
Kaye Answers: Amy - Cottage cheese is a good protein and you can include it on Day 3. I didn't have it on the list because it is considered by some to be a slider food. To firm it up a bit you could add a chopped hard cooked egg to your cottage cheese. And yes, during the liquid phase chicken boullion with added protein is great.
Newbie Coddled Egg for One by BamaGal
Page 17 - Neighborhood Cookbook
Ingredients:
4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
Directions:
Bring water to full boil in saucepan over high heat. Add salt and stir. Carefully crack egg and add to water. Remove pan from heat. Cover and let sit for 6 minutes.
Contributor's note: Coddled eggs are what helped me get through the newbie stage. My tender pouch tolerated them much better than scrambled.
Serves 1. Per serving: 66 calories, 5 grams protein, 4 grams fat (1 saturated) and 1 gram carbohydrate.
Turkey Bacon and Egg oven Omelet by Galelynn Neal
Page 22 - Neighborhood Cookbook
Ingredients:
12 slices of turkey bacon
6 slices of fat free American cheese
8 eggs
1 cup 1% milk
cooking spray
Directions:
Cut cheese slices into halves, arrange in bottom of a lightly sprayed 9-inch pie pan. Beat together eggs and milk, in medium bowl. Add 6 slices of cooked chopped bacon. Pour egg mixture over cheese and bake in pre-heated 350F degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove omelet from oven and top with remaining 6 slices of cooked crumbled bacon. Cook for 10 minutes longer. Let omelet stand 5 minutes before cutting.
Contributor's note: I microwave my bacon to make it crispy. If you don't like turkey bacon regular will work, but watch out for extra fat content.
Serves 6. Per serving: 203 calories, 18 grams protein, 6 grams carbohydrate and 12 grams of fat (4 saturated).
Parmesan Tuna Patties by BamaGal
Page 29 - Neighborhood Cookbook
Ingredients:
1 (6 3/4-oz) can albacore tuna
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 large egg
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons ground flaxmeal
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash onion powder
1 dash salt
Directions:
Drain tuna. Blend all ingredients in a medium size bowl and form into patties. Fry in oil (I use olive oil, but you may use cooking spray) until brown on edges. Turn. Fry until done.
Contributor's Note: These are VERY GOOD and creamy! Takes away the "fishy" flavor of the tuna. Fry up extras to refrigerate for snacks or quick lunches later.
Editor's Note: Flaxmeal, made of ground flaxseed, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which appear to help lower the risk of heart disease. Flaxseed adds a mild nutty flavor to foods and should be included regularly in a healthy diet. Weight losssurgery patients should use ground flaxmeal rather than flaxseed for digestibility reasons.
Recipe serves four. Per serving: 284 calories, 32 grams protein, 15 grams fat (3 saturated) and 4 grams carbohydrate.
Baked Tilapia by Kim Stover
Page 98 - Neighborhood Cookbook
Ingredients:
2 (4-oz) tilapia filets
1 egg white
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
2 tablespoons Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, divided
2 (1-oz) slices low fat Swiss cheese
cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Rinse fish and pat dry. Beat the egg white with the Old Bay Seasoning. Coat the filet in the seasoned egg. Sprinkle half a tablespoon of breadcrumbs on one side of the filet. Lay the filet, crumb side down, on a baking sheet that has been lined with foil and coated with cooking spray. Place a slice of cheese on top of the filet and sprinkle the remaining half-tablespoon of breadcrumbs on top of the fish. Repeat with the other filet. Spray the tops of the fish with more coking spray, but be careful not to blast the bread crumbs all over with the gust of air! Bake for 20 minutes. This is one of my favorites!
Serves two. Per serving: 235 calories, 31 grams protein, 9 grams fat (5 saturated) 6 grams carbohydrate and a trace of dietary fiber.
My meal Plan looks like this for tomorrow:
Breakfast - Egg Scramble
Lunch: Baked Tilapia
Snack: Protein Shake
Dinner: Tuna
Wish me LUCK!! I hope it helps jump start some LOSS!! Getting on the treadmill later tonight to work out some STRESS
