wow -what a wonderful sounding recipe. I'm going to try your recipe! What is rotel? And is there any other spice added besides the hidden valley ranch powder? Like taco seasoning or anything? I'm a big avocado fan - so adding the avocado sealed it for me! I think I'll add some fresh cilantro too. thanks for sharing the recipe!

Rotel is diced tomatos with diced green chilis in it. Delish.

It comes in mild, medium and hot.

I am one week out from surgery and still on liquids for another week. Then soft and pureed food. It is comforting to see what you are all eating. It makes me feel more like this is something I can do too. So many people eating nuts and rice surprised me since they are on my Doc's list of problem foods. Thanks for posting!!!

I'm still on my full liquid diet. I've been having fun with the blender and chicken stock. It's amazing what you can run through it and make into a "thin soup"

B- 1/2c cottage cheese and 1 TBS bruschetta with chicken stock base to make soupy

L- 2 scoops of vanilla Protein Powder and 1/2c 1% milk

D- 1/2oz ribeye, 1/2c mac n cheese with chicken broth in the blender until creamy smooth. this made enough for lunch tomorrow!! I had a half cup of this.

s- 2scoops of chocolate Protein powder 1/2c milk slushy style

I had been just adding baby food meat to my dinners but the family had ribeyes tonight and I was curious just how fine that blender could make meat lol... It all worked out and I've had a real Soup meal that finally curbed the hunger woot...

Come on Thursday and the new mushy stage :thumbup:

San Diego Mom - I am on Kauai - my absolute most favorite island. If you're at all familiar with the island - we are staying in Princeville. I can not tell you how much I am enjoying the food. Today I didn't snack - but our dinner and dessert made up for it - couldn't believe I could eat as much as I did (shouldn't have!!!!)

TODAY:

B: 5.8 oz plain greek yogurt w/ 2/3 a papaya, 1/4 c. mango ginger granola and 2 small slices portugese sausage (grilled with a little splenda on it)

L: 3 oz teriyaki steak & chicken, 2 bites macaroni salad, 5 bites sugarloaf pineapple, 1 rambuttan, 1 chocolate chip cookie and 2 chocolate covered macadamia nuts

D: appetizer - several bites of an artichoke/mushroom piccata with a garlic butter wine sauce (dipped 2 small rounds of bread in the sauce :smile:) THEN - about 2.5-3 oz sesame crusted Mahi Mahi, and couple bites sauted veggies.

Dessert - 1/2 a serving of Jack Daniels sauteed apples over vanilla ice cream

I feel sick just writing all of it down - forced myself too though - just as I will force myself to get on the scale the moment I get back - However, I have enjoyed every minute of it and know that I would have certainly eaten more pre-band!

From my experience--I can really eat anything (well i can't get down a big fat sandwhich, but i can eat one without the top and take small bites of the bottom half). Other than that anything goes down.

Only in the last 2 months or so did i start introducing more food options (like Pasta and rice and bread). I felt (again for me) I needed to allow myself more as I approached the 1 year mark.

That being said i've learned Portion Control (well most days:lol:). Good luck--i'm sure you will find what works for you!!!

Today:

b: (it's a birthday party with all baked goodies, donuts and such). I just took a small cup of coffee and 4 crackers with 4 mini pieces of cheese (really mini) and 4 mini pieces of meat. Not a horrible choice considering what i could have had.

l: leftovers from last night's dinner at Carmines in NYC: half meatball and a little angel hair pasta.

D: going to do a lean cuisine so i keep it simple.

Gym: hour of cardio, trampoline jumps (usually about 200), crunches (usually 60) and some toning for my arms. It's so weird that i'm craving the gym!! Who am i? lol

Luluc, don't go too far away. :scared2:Drop in every once in a while to let us know how you are doing. It seems that all the "oldies" have left. Haven't seem Blooeyez in here for a long time. Has anyone heard from her?
