Hey Gina - I am pretty much sticking to eggs, tuna, refried beans w/ cheese, soup and my protein drinks. Not very adventurous I know!!!!!!! What are you eating?

Hi there! I am eating mashed potatoes, refried beans, cheese, 2-3 crackers, well done toast (read somehwere that it goes down better), mac & cheese, water, protein drinks, soups, sf jello, sf pudding, sf popsicles, egg beaters egg, really soft carrots cooked with a fine grade of honey, sugar free shortbread cookies (only tolerating 2 at a time). I tolerated a little bit of chicken, but I chewed it like bubble gum before swallowing. I tried a hard boiled egg today, huge huge mistake. I was in pain from 1PM until about 5:30PM, only relieved by coming back up. I tried to eat regular charro beans last Friday, not as much pain, but pain with foamies. I am interested in hearing what others are eating this far out. Lindy

I am eating, chili, tacos (soft shell just tried today and settled well- whle wheat) turkey lunchmeat, pureed foods still, protein drink daily, cheese, curry chicken without rice.....those are the things I have tried..although didn't always tollerate well the first time through but now seem to be fine. Chili made with Tofu....yummy and I got it from a fellow RNY friend: It is tasty and full of protein and so simple to make. Everything is already cooked so I throw it in a crockpot for a couple of hours to blend in the flavors. 1 pkg. of ground tofu (I believe the brand is St. Ives....Freddy Meyer, organic section or Trader Joes) 2 cans of Kidney beans 2 cans of dices tomatoes 1/4 cup of onion (I use dehydrated for convenience) 1 or 2 tablespoons of chili powder 1 or 2 tablespoons of cumin (ground or seeded) 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper Voila! Thats it! Use enough chili powder, cumin and pepper to your taste. The above is approx. how much I use. This makes about 8 cups @ 169 cal. per cup and 15 g. protein (I think). It also freezes very well!

- Chili of all varieties - Ham-n-cheese lunch meat - Tyson chicken (breading scraped off)- hard to chew - Pizza sauce with mozzarella cheese and turkey pepperoni diced - Scrambled eggs with cheese - Soups of all kinds - Hot dog (cut up)- did not like - Tilapia with tartar sauce- not tolerated well (maybe it was the sauce?) - SF jello, popsicles, pudding - SF 50/50 brand peanut butter & jelly (only eating a spoonful or 2 at a time) - SF cool whip (only a spoonful to curb a sweet craving) - Deviled eggs - Really crispy bacon (has to be crispy, or I cannot chew it enough) - Chicken quesadilla minus the tortilla, add sour cream That's about all I can think of.

I wish I had a little more fear... here's mine- salmon zone, snickers and met rx protein bars yogurt chili chicken nugget- only time I've felt bad- burped, had pressure and thought I was going to throw-up waffle fry snack size milky way- I know terrible!!! Carnation instant breakfast nestle low carb hot choc steak- tiny bites 1/2 Pillsbury croissant all kinds of soups Chili beef stew eggs 1 bite of pancakes soy chips- very good and have protein in them- I like BBQ tons of cheese with marinara sauce did I mention chili? and more chili ground beef tuna and chicken salad applesauce refried beans and chili I'm probly the worst on here- but I wanted to be honest... I cannot drink the protein shakes- they make me gag, I tried the isopure water and ewwwww, so that's why I went to the bars- I wasn't getting anywhere near the protein requirements... I just bought a few of those bullets- so will try one tomorrow. Good-luck- Holly

I am eating all kinds of stuff also, so please don't feel bad. cottage cheese with peaches, I rinse the peaches off although they are already low sugar. soups, all kinds chicken tuna with non fat mayo salmon steamed veggies - I just did some sliced zucchini and yellow squash with a little olive oil and lemon & herb spice, put on the grill and it was so YUMMY! cream of wheat with a little splenda, spray butter, and milk (non-fat)-my fave bfast! beans with a little cheese and avocado a little tiny bite of enchilada & chille relleno (2x) mushroom chicken from Rice King, a tiny bite cabbage from Rice King (got stuck, but I'm certain I didn't chew well enough) protein bars slim fast shake the low sugar one-it was filthy, I won't be doing that again. applesauce eggs, scrambled with pureed salsa eggs with soyrizo (really good and I'm a full on Chorizo lover!) With the eggs sometimes I use real and sometimes egg beaters hard boiled egg sf vanilla latte w/non fat milk and no whip cream from Starbucks ****d) Diet Snapple Iced Tea butternut squash soup-now I have to say that I use to like it but the one I had was so gross so I won't be trying that one again! healthy choice tomato soup - LOVE IT!! Perma-Lean shakes with banana and lactaid- I ran out I just bought the Muscle Milk light, tried i this morning and then my packers came and packed it...oops it was good though but expensive! chicken fried steak (peeled off most of the batter) mashed potatoes I have not even attempted to eat more than a 1/2 cup of anything which is fine with me, I am extremely satisfied! I was really scared at first also but then I noticed what others were having and I started trying more. I've done fine with everything (kind of scary) but even after reading others menus I want to give more things a chance. I really want a salad!!! I'm just really scared of the fresh veggies getting stuck. I also want some chili, that sounds yummy!! Adrianne
