What is everyone eating?

[browneyedgirl1981 32]

I'm about 10 weeks out, and I'm still eating lots of greek yogurt, chicken breast, and Protein bars, and a daily Protein shake. I have eaten nuts a few times but they don't seem to sit well with me. I've also tried salads, and that was a terrible mistake.

I'm SO tired of the SAME things every day. I do not like any kind of fish/seafood, so chicken it is, I guess. Even though I can eat more, I'm still not getting in the required amount of Protein. I'm seriously struggling and need any advice or suggestions you may have!

At ten weeks I was eating ground red meat, including beef, pork, bison, elk, etc. Also lots of turkey. Non-meat options such as cottage cheese, eggs, tofu, and refried Beans. Good luck to you!

I'm 7 weeks postop. I can pretty much eat anything except tough meats.

This is what a normal day looks like for me:

Breakfast - Syntrax Peanut Butter Protein shake

snack - Dannon Light & Fit strawberry yogurt

lunch - Scrambled egg, Protein pancake, or some kind of protein from a restaurant

Snack - Mozzarella cheese stick with pizza dipping sauce

dinner - Whatever I cook for the family. Last night it was taco cups (flour tortilla in a cupcake tin, fat free refried Beans, with ground meat and a little cheese...baked). I was able to eat about 1 to 1-1/2 of them.

I haven't been eating enough veggies, so i plan to talk to my NUT about it and tweak my eating plan.

Thanks for your replies! And the taco cups sound delish!

I enjoy steak. salad is OK but I consintrate or the vegtables not the lettuce. There are many things one can add to Greek yogart. I just tried Kellogs brand. Its tasty. There are a million ways to make eggs. I take eggs to work quite often. Standard is 2 eggs add one wedge of a flavored laughing cow cheese and I will shave in a very small amout of spanish cherizo for favor. 1.5 minutes in the microwave and Breakfast is served. If I were you I would start working on eating seafood. It is great when propery prepared.

I made chilaqiiles for dinner

Take 1 rotisserie chicken and shred it (leftovers work great). About 1 cup more than enough

Take 4 flour tortillas. Toast them in a pan (no oil). Brown hen just a little

Rip them apart

Place 1 tablespoon oil Ina pan

Add ripped tortillas

Then add your shredded chicken

Then add about a cup of tomatillo salsa (I made my own)

Then sauté for a few minutes

Add two egas scrambled. I used whites so 4 whites

Sauté and stir until eggs are Cooked through

Serve

Family enjoyed the dinner and I of course took this mixture on my plate and removed tortilla, puréed it with a little more tomatillo salsa. Yummy!

I am cooking recipes for the family using ingredients I can eat and just purée my version

Thanks! I tried turkey pepperoni last night in my spaghetti sauce and it's wonderful!

I'm a week away from being 6 months out. Lately I've been eating nothing but chicken, turkey, fruits and vegetables! Been trying not to snack or eat any kind of breads/pastas. So far it's working out!

I know you said you don't like seafood but try shrimp with old bay seasoning. I don't like seafood but the shrimp goes down so easy and feels good in my sleeve and packs a lot of protien
