Great Sources of Protein

One of the things I have to change is that I have to incorporate a source of high protein at every meal. Protein is a great way to make you feel full and this is a requirement of anyone having gastric bypass surgery afterwards. So to get my mind and body ready for these big changes I have been working hard to incoporate a high protein item in every meal. Below are some fresh healthy items for getting your protein in.
