How is everyone doing with your daily meals? I sometimes don't know what I might eat from day to day, but I do find that it makes things easier when you do plan out your daily meals (it aint easy but I'm working on it ).

I am having the worst days trying to find things to eat no one said it would be this hard.... please help ur me on a typical morning lunch and dinner i eat rrefried Beans and fish but getting tired of that .......

[CoolBreeze 154]

This was my problem as well. Especially trying to find something that would give me the Protein I needed with the taste I wanted (and desired). So much of the foods are exellent sources of Protein but are lacking in the taste department.

Here are some resources I found - and I found them right here from VST members. Check them out.

Footnote... You will have to pic-n-choose because the recipes can be for different stages and it will depend on what stage you're in. Enjoy!

That's because (and I have the book) much of it is not for our surgery.

There are only a few books that are specific to us. But things are changing...
