What does your menu look like?

At (about) 2 months out what do you normally eat for breakfast lunch and dinner? I have a hard time with variety, and have a low tolerance for eating the same foods over and over again!

My diet is still boring. But if you haven't tried it, get some hot-n-sour soup mix. It's very good. The kind I get is from Kikkoman, says Chinest Style Egg Flower Soup Mix.  Hot-n-Sour is the flavor. I use two eggs and add a small amount of tofu. It really cranks up the protein. I also add a few drops of chili oil for extra heat.

I've actually been having a harder time eating solids food, not sure why. Just experiment. I'm going to try chili with melted cheese tomorrow.

I have been lucky and able to tolerate chicken and beef.  Fish is out of the question though.  Never liked it before surgery.  Tried some light fish and it went half way down and right back up..so I stay with the chicken, tender beef only,  eggs and cheese.  Then a few veggies or fruit if room.  Or I do the greek plain greek yogart with strawberries.  It has 15gm of protein.   But I agree, it seems like the same thing over and over.  Been searching on line for different recipes and found a few, but its only me eating them, and I don't care for left overs much.  So I seem to be staying with simple things such as reduced fat cheese with eggs or slice of meat; or the yogart.  Good luck with the variety.  I know exactly what you mean.

Breakfast is ALWAYS scrambled eggs with a side of sausage from Mickey D's. Sometimes if I have time, I'll do it myself, but that's only 1-2 times a week.

Lunch is usually turkey w mayo, or crab w mayo. If I go out its a turkey lunch w green beans and cole slaw. (We don't have many choices in my little town) That usually lasts 2-3 days from that one meal.

snack may be pintas n cheese with sour cream from Taco Bell or turkey n cheese roll ups.

Dinner is usually a meat w sauce and green beans. I basically stay away from starches. Still focusing on the protein.

another snack is usually one chicken nugget before bed.

I would love to hear more ideas.

Are you eating nuts?  How are they going down for you?  I'm dying to try some but scared.

I started eating nuts week 4.  I did not have a puree stage, so I went from eggs, peanut butter, yogurt  and cheese to adding nuts, fish and beans. 

Nuts were no problem... I just chew them until they are liquid in my mouth... no worries...

Blessings!

I am the same way.  I get tired of the same stuff.  Let's see, what have I been eating.  Well, I eat 5-6 meals a day (one or two of them is a protein shake).  I like a hard boiled egg chopped up with 1 Tbsp of light mayo and 1 Tsp of mustard (salt and pepper of course) smeared onto low-fat Ritz crackers (5 of them).  I got some fresh salmon and cook it with a little extra virgin olive oil over medium heat with cajun seasoning...delish!  Shrimp with ****tail sauce.  Light lunchmeat with a Babybel light cheese round (add some mustard for a twist).  The pintos and cheese from Taco Bell is good (as the above post said).  I love Wendy's chili.  Crab legs are delicious.  Meatballs are good (if you can tolerate beef, if not, try ground turkey or chicken).  Make your own lowfat crabcakes by subbing greek yogurt or light mayo for regular mayo.  I am in love with Stacy's Pita Chips in the Garden Veggie flavor.  I can eat seven of those and I smear some fat free cream cheese on them.  I bought some salmon burgers (pre made patties) that were very tasty.  I also have to second the cheese sticks and Fage greek yogurt is absolutely delicious with some strawberries and splenda.  I eat that every day now for the protein count.  That's all I can think of for now.  Hope all the replies give you something you haven't tried!!!

Take care!
