It's normal to want to have "one bite" when you have to fix dinner for the family. Be sure that you have your Protein and sip on it while preparing their meal. Ask that they do the serving, clean up & put left overs away.
You are already doing a lot by cooking so soon after surgery! Reread your information you got from doctor. Remember how you felt when you were desperate at your weight that made this decision a reality. Be easy on yourself. It takes a while to adjust. You will get to eat again. This is just temporary. Baby steps. I make 100% whey Protein shakes. Freeze chopped banana. Blend on ice setting with 1/2 c non fat milk, then ad a little crushed ice to it. Some shaking or stirring inbetween. STIR in non fat low sugar yogurt and Protein powder. Finally blend on smoothie setting. Yeap, share with kids that is mines new Breakfast. Even hubby drinking it. I hated cooking breakfast. Now I am the best breakfast maker
Egg flower Soup...dr. said ok. You can buy or make it is quick. Low sodium organic chicken broth. Mix 1 egg, stir into boiling broth stirring only in ONE direction for 1 minute. Eat like that or add small amount of PLAIN protein mix once off burner. In the resturants they ad corn starch, I don't.
Good job posting!
