What are we eating?

Since breakfast and lunch seem to be the most repetitive meals for most of us, I thought I would start a post to see what everyone has eaten today. Maybe we can get some good ideas, and I know it will help me. I'll start: Breakfast - 1/2 cup low-fat pineapple cottage cheese 1 small banana Vitamuffin (100 cal. fat-free bran muffin) Lunch - 2 tuna tacos (tuna, cole slaw mix, salsa, light mayo all mixed up) and wrapped in a soft taco 20 grapes I've also had 32 oz of decaf tea; 8 oz of water; 16 oz of decaf coffee. Hope to get some new ideas. God Bless, Kathy Bilodeau Lap RNY 12/3/03 -92 lbs.

Oops - I almost forgot. I also had a handful of peanuts for a snack. Kathy

Great idea, Kathy! For breakfast I had 1/2 honey wheat english muffin with low-fat peanut butter (wicked thin). Great One DD coffee, black (can't give up the caffeine). Lunch Boston Market...1/4 dark (I took off the skin), with butternut squash and mac & cheese. This will make 2-3 lunches for me. I'll have a snack later, either some watermelon or honeydew.

Hi Kathy, I think that is wonderful idea and it will help me as Pre-op to get some ideas what post op eat. I am sure that will help youand us to keep food track . WE are here to support and help you SMILE Happy July 4th !!! Kathy K

Hi Kathy, hmmm.....lol now my secrets will be out!!! . So here goes: Breakfast 1/2 cup 1% Cottage Cheese 1 spoonful of regular sour cream lots of garlic salt 3 small pieces of pre-cooked bacon Snack 1/3- 1/2 cup salted mixed nuts Didn't really measure Lunch 1/2 bag of Atkin's Crunchers 2 Kosher Dill Spears 1/3 cup of eggplant parmasean 5 oz of salmon 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries 32 oz of water and 15 oz of Crystal Lite Iced Tea... That's it so far. I pretty much have the same thing everyday for breakfast but the rest of the day varies. It used to be more routine than it is now. Linda

I just have to tell you all that since I posted what I ate today, I have been sooooo distressed!! I just want to and I can't. Oh well it has been 3 hours and it isn't getting better . Linda

Why are you distressed? I wanted this to help us not make us feel bad. Hope you are feeling better! God Bless, Kathy Bilodeau

Kathy, I was physically distressed, not mentally! . Something was just sitting there for hours and hours. I guess I ate too much or something and I haven't felt like that in months. Linda

Hi! I had one cheesy scrambled egg and three pieces of turkey bacon for breakfast. One large DD Iced Coffee, I can't give up the caffeine either For lunch I had three Wendy's chicken strips with honey mustard for dipping. I have been drinking water all day and have had over 64 oz. already. I will have a snack later of cheese and nuts about 2 oz. of cheese and a handful of mixed nuts and then a protein bar for the car ride home and a sensible dinner. Yesterday I got in about 1200 calories and 90-100 grams of protein. My surgeon suggested I up my protein. I also went to the gym and worked out for about 45 minutes last night and try to do that at least 3 times a week. Darlene 309/235/???

Hi everybody!! Well, since I am on pureed, mine is not very exciting. For breakfast I had 2 ounces of Low-fat pineapple cottage cheese, and a 3 ounce cup of unsweetened applesauce, and half of a string cheese stick. For lunch I had 2 ounces of pureed chicken salad with low fat mayo, 2 ounces of spicy refried beans with a tsp. of fat-free sour cream on top,and the other half of the string cheese stick. Tomorrow I can start eggs! Yeah! And only 2 more weeks on pureed. Enjoy your day, it's a beautiful one. Anne
