Feeling Optimistic About Post Op Nutrition! [emoji4]

Since I have always eaten a carb heavy diet...even while I was on WW, I’ve been making a list of higher Protein foods and recipes that I like and will be able to eat after surgery. Finding some great options, including some pre prepped stuff at the grocery stores near me. (High protein packs with cubed deli meat and cheese for an occasional lunch on the go, chopped fresh fruit and veggies, trimmed lean meat etc. to make dinner prep easier, and even a packaged meal I could eat in a pinch on a busy night)  Since I will be eating less food, I’m willing to pay a little more for convenience.

One thing I definitely wanna try is mashed cauliflower to see if that could replace mashed potatoes for me.

The mashed cauliflower is great! It IS a bit of a jarring difference to be honest. What I did is slowly replaced the potatoes with the cauliflower since I tend to go into texture shock. It helped me, and honestly I love love love 1/2 potato 1/2 cauliflower mashed with a bit of garlic. Yumm.
