Pictures of last 2 dinners

[mparkersmith 72]

A few weeks ago right after surgery, I wondered what a meal would look like when the time came. Well, here are some photos of my last 2 dinners for curious pre-oppers! My husband made me:

Teeny chicken Taco

1.5 oz of moist dark meat chicken

Small circle cut out of a whole wheat tortilla (about 1/4 of whole)

Thin slices of avocado (maybe an 1/8th of a small one)

A few cubes of Roma Tomato

A little splash of green salsa

Sausage w/ Peppers and Onions

1.3 oz organic chicken apple sausage

.5 oz sautéed onions

.5 oz sautéed peppers

Pretty nice eating real food! Put it on a small saucer, pair it with a small salad fork, and ta-da! dinner is served!

What's everyone else having for dinner?

Tonight I had a meatball with sauce and melted mozzarella! Yummmm

How is a tortilla sitting for you? I'm not allowed any kind of break product till like 8months to a year according to my dietician.

What a cute teeny taco! I use tiny ramekins the size of my cat's food bowls for teeny lentil Soup & chili (doctored with said sliced avocado, shredded cheddar and a teeny dollop of plain FF Greek yogurt). So how does your tummy do with the teeny tortilla? I still can't keep any kind of bread down. Not even a teeny bite.

JessicaAnn, this was the first time I tried tortilla, but no problems. The only other bread items I've tried were a couple of Water crackers, and 2 Triscuits. No problems with any of these, but I am trying to limit this kind of stuff to 2-3 times a week.

Great idea! How far out are you?

[mparkersmith 72]

Yazzy, actually, 22 lbs of that was pre-op, so 24 lbs. down in the 6 weeks since surgery. Which is pretty great! But 46 lbs. in 6 weeks would've been spectacular!!! Haha

So nice to see someone is eating real food. So, you are 6 wks Post-Op - I am 2 wks tomorrow and I can barely get 2 tbsp of pureed food down right now. But, I do get hungy in a couple of hours. So, I am thinking lots of little tiny meals. Thanks for the pics.
