feedback on what I ate today

[chimboree26 24]

I agree w/Jacqui's thinking, as well. For dinner today, I had some beef stew, pureed. It has green Beans, tomatoes, corn, and cabbage in it. It tastes so good and is so filling and nourishing. I have a big pot of it and will freeze most of it...and just thaw and puree as needed!

Sure, I have a Protein drink throughout the day, but I'm not going to obsess over it. I just want to continue to eat healthfully, like I did pre-band...just w/smaller portions.

Wish you the best!

you could do lentil Soup, puree it, it's thick i could only get in about 4-6 oz but tastes sooo good feel like real food, i got sick of chicken soup after day 2! focus on Protein otherwise your hair starts to fall out!

i was told my meals. shakes should never be more than 8 oz and i should drink it within 15-20 minutes . i do 2 calcium chews a day , 2 flinstone chewables w/ Iron, and got my blood pressure meds in liquids makes life alot easier! Good luck on your journey!

Many towns like ours have a Farmers Market, full of fresh locally grown produce. I hit ours every week, and load up on fresh, usually organic, fruits and veggies. My only problem is I want them all NOW!!! I am madly putting things in the freezer, and when I did, I ran onto the stew I blended, back in my liquids/mushies stage!!! I agree, I did my best to eat healthy, but to also eat whatever the family was. I then didn't feel deprived!

Good Luck!!
