Recipe Ideas .... (2wks Post-Op)

I had surgery (RNY) on July 30th, I am having a hard time trying to figure out what to eat? I know that I can either be on liquids still, purees, and some soft foods. If anyone has any ideas, I would be happy to hear all suggestions! Thanks.

I had surgery on July 28th. My Mom made me loster quishe ( I know I totally spelled that wrong) 1 egg beaten thoroughly 1 8 OZ. pack of trans ocean lobster classic chunk style mix together divide into three parts place is cupcake bowls (spray with Pam) top with small amount of non-fat or low-fat white cheese bake for 20 min, at 350 degrees It sounds a little wierd but it is hella good, just make sure to chew thoroughly. On cupcake size is a serving. I hope that helps a little!! Joanie

My NUT. suggested chili and I've been really loving it! It's high in protein and usually has vegetable servings as well. If you're not a cook (I know I'm not...) there are some packaged types that are yummy. I've also been told that Wendy's chili is good for WLS people, but I haven't tried that yet. Good luck!

Susan, I've been loving Chili, too! But my NUT said it has to be Chili no beans.... at least for now while I'm still so fresh out of surgery (7/30/08). I also love refried beans with some low fat cheese sprinkled on top and either crackers or a small corn Tortilla. YUMMY!

Thanks for all the great Ideas! 

How do you guys feel about the frozen entrees like smart ones and the lean cuisines?  I had been really doing an awful job at eating healthily especially for lunch at work, and a friend noticed that I do not eat much veggies.  So I went to the grocery store to see what I could eat, I picked up some laughing cow light cheeses and a Smart One (salisbury steak with chopped asparagus).  Beleive me I know about the sodium contents, and I only ate like 1/3 of the portion size.

What is your thinking on the "healthy" frozen meals?  What do you suggest for lunch at work?


FYI; my main problem for my weight gain is fast food, I am very iterally addicted to it!  Pls. No fast food suggestions for now at least.
