Day 1 of soft foods stage. Had my mom's Caldo de Pollo without any of the rice, corn or potatoes aka the good stuff but luckily the flavor was still there!

I've never been so happy to eat carrots 🥲

This is my ideal type of soup!!!

snack (or second dinner? lol)

im on an oatmeal love-fest these days after having it for the first time in YEARS last week!

another first: eating raw bananas. i've had banana bread, cooked banana Desserts, but i haven't had an actual as-is banana since before surgery four years ago.

verdict: its kinda filling and im afraid the amount i ate, combined with the brown sugar i added to the oatmeal, may be enough to send me on a minor dumping episode shortly. oh well.

331 calories for the bowl, i ate pretty much all the oatmeal, and about 1/2 the banana.

given the way im feeling now, bananas are off the menu again.

Looks good! I eat bananas once every few months. But when I do it usually all in the same week (because no one else wants bananas all of a sudden)

I had a spaghetti squash I needed to use so we just came up with something and it was DELICIOUS! Looks gross but was so good!

Spaghetti squash, chicken, alfredo sauce and cheese spices and hots because I like spicy

28g protein!!

I ate about 2/3 of it.

slept in this morning (very uncharacteristic of me...im am early bird thu and thru!)

...so first meal of day is coming in pretty late: homemade chicken Soup with Pasta shells, topped with crispy fried onions: 292 calories, ate it all.

This is an instance of me just guessing the calories since i was too lazy to input the recipe into MFP, and i didn't trust the cal counts of the ones already listed in their database. close enough!!

Y’all remember those pie pumpkins I bought in September as part of my groceries?

I roasted one and made it into…. A pie! 😂🤷‍♀️

I probably won’t even eat any of it but it sure smells good.

Another brunch. The "bacon" wasn't crispy enough. It was the first time I got it and I have some slices left so I'm going to give it another try tomorrow.

One of these expensive fruitcups. Sometimes I can't resist. The two I bought were 30% off because MHD.

Oooooooooooh, these look beautiful!!! 😮

I'm on-call today and while I'm feeling a little tensed (and already had an awful quarrel within the first hour of duty this morning...) I could somehow make up my mind to cook something up:

Re-heated tadiq rice from the freezer, Vivera like-chicken filet, a stew made from bottled Tomato, date tomatoes on their last leg, an aubergine, garbanzos, harissa spice, cinnamon, raisins and some Peanut Butter. The yoghurt stuff is soy skyr with a minty spice, red bell pepper and cucumber.

Lightning is bad as it's already dark and daylight makes the best pictures.

Plenty of leftovers from the stew. The second filet will be cubed and put on a salad I bought on Thursday.

meals on the weekends are often junky cuz its mr.'s turn to cook and he usually ends up ordering take out if we don't go out!

so today it was pizza and wings!

436 calories.

Ate the 3 wings & hot sauce, and 1/2 the pizza slice.

Ugh. i feel stuffed (it was the pizza crust...they ordered it extra thick)
