How do you make your chicken salad?  And the black-eye pea salad sounds good, what's in it?

Wow...are you looking great!!! What a difference from when I saw you in the hospital. Just about everything I cook I use the "fly by the seat of your pants" approach, so I never measure. Here's the best I can tell you: about 2 cups chopped cooked chicken -left over from one of those store bought roasters 1/2 carton (8 oz) plain yogurt 1/2 cup low fat mayo lots of chopped celery maybe a 1/4 cup chopped peanuts 1 TBS curry powder, salt and pepper juice of 1/4 lemon Mix it all up and you're ready to go. Of course it tastes better when it's had time for the flavors to blend Black eyed pea salad 1 can black eyed peas drained 1/4 cup each chopped onion and bell pepper 1/4- 1/2  cup apple cider vinegar ( you want to cover the peas and veggies) a couple good shots of hot sauce like tabasco or chalula . Let it stand in the fridge over night, or make it in the morning if you're serving it with dinner. Keeps for quite awhile and is a great high protein/high fiber snack

today I started the 2 week pre-op liquid diet I have had 4 of the 5 shakes and 2 sf popsicles and some beef broth ummmmm Im hungry. I want crunchy! nutti

Gosh, I feel really really bad today, after reading all of ya'lls intake.  Been on the road alllll day long, so it has been difficult.  So, here goes-- B  2 slices bacon S  What was that?? Air L  Meat from a Mc.D's double cheeseburger, pressed down to get all possible grease out S Again, what was that?? D  Ordered 3 tacos, tossed the shells, added salsa and low fat sour cream, (thank God the restaurant had it) and ate alot of it.  Left prolly half, but got in some good protein, and I asked, they use ground chuck for meat S  2 pieces SF Vanilla Caramel Lots of tea, water, and Crystal Lite, not sure of amounts, but at least 44 oz of tea and 32 oz of crystal lite. Got my Vitamins allllll in, Multi's, Calcium, and B-12 Tomorrow is another day, and Im determined to do better. Hugs, Rhonda

I tried to get in another protein drink but forgot to take it with me to watch the basketball game (oldest son is at team camp this week - fun!)

ok....my turn.....

B- water ( I know I am supposed to eat but I just can't do it yet. It hurts if I eat early in the morning. I have never been a breakfast person so this is the hardest thing for me. However, give me breakfast at night any day of the week!!  ) S- haven't started that yet!! L- cream of broccoil soup (blenderized)- about 4 tsps.      sugar free strawberry jello- 3 tsps.      water S- none yet!! D- same as lunch Can't stand to waste that leftover soup so dinner will be the same as lunch for a while. I'm getting the hang of this whole process. Just need a little time!!   Karen
