what do you eat?

azcat · February 10, 2008

Can someone who is 4-6 months post surgery, please give me an idea of what you eat every day. Just a typical Breakfast, lunch, dinner. I don't even care that much about the quantity, just what kind of stuff can you eat? Can you still make tacos for you family and have one? Just wondering if I will be eating totally differnt things than what I serve my family.

Here is a typical day:

B- eggs and fruit (apples or strawberries) or 1 egg and refried Beans and salsa, or 1 cup greek yogurt (20 g Protein in one container!and NO fat!)with fruit.

L-sliced turkey lunch meat and salad w/lots of veggies or chicken and hummus with cucumbers.

D-turkey burger w/no bun, vegetable (salad or a cooked one), or some other form of chicken and another vegetable!! (I do a lot of turkey burgers from Rachel Ray recipes- she has a zillion variations on turkey burgers so you get a lot of variety) or I go Mexican and have ground turkey, refried beans and shredded lettuce and tomatoes - a tostada without the tortilla - I use the greek yogurt as sour cream!!

I am not real restricted, so as I get tighter the turkey burger will shrink, I'm sure but this gives you the idea.
