Dinner Help



Recommended Posts

Can anyone give me some advice on what to eat tonight for dinner. I'm on Stage 2, purred, but can start adding soft things in. I want a quick break from stuff Protein shakes and yogurt. I want something that is a little food like.

I'll be honest. I've been craving Mexican like, though that may not be possible.

What works besides babyfood, yogurt and cottage cheese.

Please help. Any recipes???

I made a Italian bake: cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, shredded parmesian. Mixed together put in a small baking dish, layer with a smooth jarred spagetti sauce. Baked in the oven.

Also I made egg whites in a frying pan at the very end added fat free cottage cheese with chives 1/8 cup. Makes a nice cheesy sauce for the eggs.

Sweet potato baked in the microwave. Scoop out the potato mash with fork, sprinkle with cinnamon, spritz with butter spray (maybe add some Splendra).

Canned chicken mixed with low fat laughing cow cheese (there are lots of flavors).

Some people get fat free refried Beans. I would avoid most mexican foods as they are unlikely to be soft or mushie.

why don't you try a albondigas Soup, black bean soup or pazole. Just whirl it in the blender a bit and you're set.

i was craving mexican too. i took the ff refried Beans and put a can rotel tomatoes with it. heated it up and added a bit of cheese. i have an emersion wand so i pureed it up and enjoyed the best beans of my life. it took me a couple of days to finish it off. but i enjoyed it. 1/4 cup at a time. i made some taco Soup for my family and i pureed it up also and added some Protein Powder to it and was in heaven. granted and i say again it was 1/4 cup at a time. i was full and satisfied. just be careful corn does not puree really well so i had to take it out. but i pureed everything my family ate. i have begun cooking on the light and low fat side. they dont know it and eat it up. Good luck on satisfying your cravings! :D

Hey Newbie, if you've been craving Mexican food you may be able to handle some fat free refried Beans microwaved with a little shredded light cheese on top..mmmmm can be pinto Beans or black beans, but chew them thoroughly. what do you think?

Thanks everybody. Lots of great responses. I will take them all. Boy do I need help. I'm a decent cook, but have no experience in this area at all. I'll have to re-learn everything.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
