Saw my surgeon today and he said I was glowing! Gotta love that man's bedside manner. Anyhoo what's really important is I told him I was concerned about my super slow weight lost. Had surgery 6/15 and I'm only down 17 pounds. Well Dr. Wonderful said I'm right where he wants me to be and my weight loss is going great for 3 weeks out. Ok! I feel much better and less like a loser at losing.

By the by if anyone has a Whole Foods in their area I found the most delicious Pesto Parmesan Chicken Meatballs there. They are simply heat and eat and super tasty. Not to mention they puree very well. I'm at this food stage until next Wednesday and wondering if anyone might have some other quick easy pureed protein ideas? Now that I'm back at work I've got to keep things easy peasy!

I've just been packing 2 ounces of whatever I pureed for dinner the night before, plus 2 ounces cottage cheese, and a little bit of peanut butter just in case. I drink a protein shake on the way in that holds me until I make myself eat after being @ work for 2 hours. I actually use my lunch break to walk a mile around our campus then eat lunch close to the end of my day. Stay on top of your water when you go back! I sit all day so I have a supple of water lined up on my desk. If I were up and moving around I think it would be super easy to forget to drink,

4 of the meatballs has 10 grams of protein and only 4 carbs. I ususally puree about 4 and divide it up for two meals. I don't eat anything with them, but have added a touch of liquid from some collard greens I cooked for the "eaters" in my house. I think you could get away though without adding any liquid.

Other great things to take are shrimp salad, crab salad, or egg salad. Just make these like you would tuna salad (eggs, relish, mustard, mayo, or tartar sauce) and puree it a little. The shrimp was the yummiest and what a treat!

I hope things go well for you once you get back to work and start weaning yourself now from those afternoon naps.
