Having quick, healthy, protein-packed meals is VERY important to me. Even before I had my surgery, I knew focusing on protein was important to stay full and eat less calories. Now after my vertical sleeve gastrectomy, I strive for 70-90 grams of protein per day. When I only eat about 4 oz at a time, it can be tough without supplements, but I’ve linked some recipes I’ve found online and one of my own that focus on protein and are quick to boot!
If you have a favorite high protein dinner that’s quick, I’d love for you to link it below!
Honey Dijon Chicken and Veggies Foil Packs
Sweet Chili Rubbed Salmon Filets
20-Minute Skillet Chicken Fajitas
I haven’t had bariatric surgery, but on nights it’s just me for dinner I’ve been eating the packets of Starkist tuna. Lemon pepper and the sweet & spicy are my favorite. I eat one of those, a steam pack of veggies or a piece of fruit (peaches or strawberries usually) and a piece of toast and I’m good.
