What's for dinner tonight?

[TN_girl21 1]

Grilled chicken marinated in lemon pepper. Probably green Beans or peas and maybe some mashed potatoes (since I am feeding my husband and his cousin, and they both love potatoes).

Tonight we're having some leftover brisket that my DH smoked this weekend. I trimmed the fat off of about 3oz and stuck mine in the oven with some low-carb BBQ Sauce to get tenderized. Veggies will be either some steamed broccoli or some stir-fry squash, onions & bok choy.

TOMORROW though.. will be kinda special. I'm planning to make my turkey meatloaf that uses both ground turkey & ground turkey sausage and bake it inside a pumpkin shell.

I very rarely fix potatoes, corn, rice or anything like that. I don't want high glycemic carbs, they tend to increase hunger. If other family members want those.. they can fix it themselves (we're all adults.. no little ones here).

Hope this helps.

WOW! I'm still in full-liquid phase. I can't imagine ever being able to eat the things some of you are mentioning. Give us newbies some hope!

WELLLLL I was supposed to have some pot roast that my hubs was putting in the crock pot, but when i called him at 3:30 to make sure this was done, the pot roast hadn't come out of the freezer! GOOD GRIEF!

So looks like i'll be heading to the grocery store and buying a rotisserie chicken from the deli! However, these chickens they have prepared are my friend when I dont feel like cooking. I'll utilize the leftovers into chicken salad, add veggies/broth and turn it into Soup, or on top of salad.< /p>

I made Orange chicken from a recipe that I found on http://www.bariatriceating.com and it was absolutely wonderful! And so easy to make!

I made a salad for both of us and a side of wild rice for my husband. We agreed, this one's a new favorite. :thumbup:

I'm with you (liquid phase), I can't wait to chew something.

Mushie phase after my fill so I am having a baked potato with fat free sour cream and spray butter. Yum!!! It amkes you feel like you are shewing when you are really just having mashed potatoes. I know potatoes are considered evil on here so I try to only have them here and there. LOL:tongue:

[WrenBird 11]

Hmmm. It's 10:24a.m. here so I'm not sure yet.

I try to have a salad (just 5 types of lettuce, or lettuce and cucumbers) for dinner with mustard, so I might have that and I've been able to eat mince more recently, so I might have some left over minced chicken from last night.

If I'm stuck for food ideas, I usually go to: Allrecipes.com and look for ones under 200 calories.

I think you do that too though, if I remember correctly :thumbup:

Is your family picky eaters?

I made some chicken thighs in the crockpot with apricots and curry. Served over brown rice. Yummy!

That sounds really yummo! Can u post the recipe please? I would love to make that.

[Esorami 2]

Tonight will be salmon and mashed yams. Using spray butter on the yams makes it really good.

Ditto! :thumbup:

Though I'd probably put it over broccoli instead. Rice and I don't mix.

[ssankofa73 2]

That curry chicken with apricots dish sounds GOOD! Recipe please!!

I drank a cup of tea 15 - 20 minutes before din din then I had 2 ribs and a 1/4 of a slice of cake (maybe 2 square inches big, no icing).

WOW, there are so many wonderful things you all are eating. I have not be banded yet, but everything I seem to know about eating after the band seems contrary to what some of you are eating. Rice, shrimp, Pasta. I sure hope that I will still be able to eat these things in moderation. You have encouraged me tonight that there will be life after banding.

You usually can eat a variety of different things - you just don't eat as much of it is all...But it's not like you want to eat heaps, you just feel satisfied.
