Help with cooking food choices for self and family



Recommended Posts

I have progressed to solids and have a sample menu from my nut. I was just wondering what some of you cook that you can eat and your family can eat.

I try to prepare things that are easily deconstructed for myself. I have two young kids, so everything is pretty kid friendly as well. This week's menu (I'm almost 8 weeks out):

Mon: French dip sandwiches, cut up veggies and new potatoes. I had two slices of deli roast beef rolled up with two thin slices of provolone and dipped them in a little of the au jus

Tue: Pasta with marinara and meatballs. I'll have a few of the meatballs in the sauce

Wed: Shoyu (basically a sweet soy marinade) chicken with stir fry veggies and rice. I'll have a couple ounces of chicken and a few bites of the veggies

Last week I made an enchilada bake with no tortillas (chicken, Beans, sauce, green onions, spinach, cheese). The kids had blue corn chips and ate their like nachos, where I just topped mine with a little greek yogurt.

I hope that is helpful!

. Your enchilada bake without tortillas sounds delish. Thanks for sharing

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
