Here's my favorite Mexican recipe.

I started eating this when I was released to the Soft Foods Stage/Puree Stage.

And just pureed it in my food processor.

I lived on this concoction for months post-op. :-)

I am a bit farther down the road than you. My surgery was in May, that being said, I do enjoy refried Beans with a little cheese, love fat free cottage cheese with a little Tomato sauce over steamed eggplant finished with a bit of low fat mozzarella or sprinkle of parmesan. I can do veggies now so have been loving spinach and mushrooms in eggs like little baby quiches. Do enjoy a nice tuna salad too. Have been loving squash and zucchini too. I do eat chicken, fish and turkey too, but am embracing veggies now. I will get some of my recipes with directions together and shoot them over to you tomorrow.

I don't know what you would call it but form a slice of ham into a cup in a muffin tin, add an egg into it an top with some cheese, bake until egg is cooked

Here is my favorite recipe!

White Bean chicken Chili

48oz jar great northern Beans

16 oz jar of salsa (any brand you prefer) I like Paul Neumans mild chunky salsa

16 oz canned chicken white meat

1 package low fat cheddar or, colbyjack, or 4 cheese Mexican.

2 tablespoons cumin

Mix all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on high for 2-3 hours.

Yields about 10- 1 cup servings.

26 grams Protein per serving

I puréed this for that stage of the post op diet. Great food for soft or regular stage! A fellow sleever brought this to the chili cook off at work and it won! It is now a family favorite!!!

I like seafood. I don't like Beans or mexican food or a lot of what most people post as bariatric meals. So I end up eating really clean, lol. I just have a lot of baked fish, and crab cakes.

This weekend I am going to experiment with making shrimp and grits with cauliflower instead of grits. If it works out well. I'll post it.

This is a really good site with low carb and gluten free recipes. http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
