The Feed Bag!!

Lisa - Sorry about the cheese!  It may have been too greasy after being on the pizza. Um.........doesn't look like you're getting a bunch of protein in.  Unless you're adding protein powder to your oatmeal or pudding?   Just being a concerned Tia! Tia

I did add a bit of protein powder to the oatmeal.  Thanks for being concerned.  I'm trying to push the protein.  I just can't get a lot of food down and my meals are usually just a couple of bites of one thing.  I have a great plan to get all this protein down, fish, tuna, egg, etc and then my stomach doesn't like it.   I'm working on it. 

Okay, just checking!!!  Actually, to me, 2 bites of something with protein is better than 4 bites of something without.  Even at 3 years post-op, I try to make that my main focus. It'll get easier, I promise.  Just keep at it! Tia

I struggled some this weekend. I kept thinking about food. I gave in sometimes. It was not necessarily that what I ate was bad. It just was not scheduled. Also, no more Cool Whip Free for me! Anyway, I am back on track today. I found some individual containers of Chi-Chi's salsa in the store. This is perfect to take to work to put over fish! It is so convenient. Yes, I know it may be a little more expensive this way, but it works for me!  So far today, Kaski w/Skim; Diet Hot Choc (It's cold in the office), and tilapia w/Salsa. Debbie

Debbie - I know it's hard, it's often hard for me, too, even after all this time.  Ooooh, I LOVE salsa - I often say it's my favorite lube.  I put it on and in everything!!! My latest fave though is the fresh salsa sold in the produce dept. - love it!!!!  And I LOVE tilapia - sounds yum! Tia

Okay... yesterday:  B- SF oatmeal; S- 4 crackers and a slice of cheese; L: 3oz broiled crab cake, 1/4 baked potato, 1/2 c green beans, one wonderful Hush Puppy!; D - 2oz of Libbey's canned corned beef. ALL OF MY FLUIDS!!!!!!!!  Yeah!  I ahve discovered that hot decaf drinks work better for me right now!  All my vits and meds.  Today so far: egg mcMuffin with 1/4 of the muffin; 1/2 c yogurt w/ 4 strawberries and 10 peanut butter pretzels.  Getting ready to eat lunch in a few.  I have already had all of my fluids!  (Still can't believe that!) All my vits and meds are done too!  Deb
