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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
