My Diet 2-wk Post Op???
My program has me on "soft textured foods" and I was just looking to post my menu and see if there are any red flags? things I could add or do differently to help weight loss...<br />
<br />
Things I am/can eat:<br />
Yogurt (low fat, no sugar added)<br />
Cottage Cheese (low fat, 1%)<br />
Shredded Cheese<br />
String Smoked Cheese<br />
Refried Beans (LF)<br />
Chicken (well chewed)<br />
Salmon<br />
Tuna w/ light mayo<br />
SF pudding<br />
SF popsicles<br />
Skim Milk<br />
SF Instant Carnation Bfast (yummers!)<br />
Eggs (sorta, had this 1x and it went ok)<br />
Mashed Potatoes (in small doses)<br />
Veggies (cooked and well chewed)<br />
Natural PB<br />
Chili with lean hamburger (pureed)<br />
Cream soups<br />
Bannanas<br />
<br />
I see my NUT for the first time this Friday and have to keep a 2-day food record so that should help. I will also be weighing myself for the FIRST time since surgery...I'm so anxious for that.<br />

I would keep the banana to a minimum if I was you. It's my favorite fruit but it doesn't always sit well and there is a bit too much sugar in them to make it a regular menu item for me
Stick to your plan and you will do great!!
And try not to worry about the scale (easier said than done, I know)...tis an evil thing most of the time ..well, it CAN be.
Out of all that's on that list I probably eat Bannanas the least! I actually hate them but good source of potassium. I ate one this AM for the first time but only 1/4 of one in my yogurt.
I am not worried so much about weight loss at this stage but don't want to slow or screw anything up either. I am a bit impatient but I've dieted in the past enough to know it takes time to see and feel results.
