What did you eat today?

I would like to start this and all who will respond thanks. I am having a hard time with what to try. I am scared of everything. I am now eating mashed potatoes with lots of gravy, I have discoved the diabetic form of ensure and that is a great source of protein. I water it down with milk to add more protein. I ate 3 saltines in milk and that was good. I love the broth from soups and veggies. I am just wondering what you are eating at the point you are at in your wls life. Jane Starting out at a size 30-32 dress, I felt good in my 26 yesterday for mother's day. Just a little WOW moment.

Jane, What I eat NOW, Is very different from "What I ate Then!" Are you just now on "mechanical Soft foods?" I would suggest cutting down/out the Empty Carbs, or "Low- Nutrient Carbs" Such as Mashed Potatoes, Saltines and such. Some of my favorites early on were- Fat Free, Re-Fried Beans with a slice of Low-fat or plain cheese. Cottage Cheese with pepper, or something to spice it up. Soft Scrambled Eggs, with cheese. (If you add a tablespoon of water per egg, they will stay "Easy on the pouch.") Low-Fat and or Sugar Free Yogurt, of all types. Just my suggestions. Check the list from the Doctor to see what they suggest. Best Wishes- Dx

Hey Jane, I'm not sure what all you can eat but I ate homemade cheese quesidillas on wheat tortillas. I used the low fat cheese and I loved them. I ate alot of eggs and cheese and crackers. Hope it helps a little. Becky

Breakfast: 1 coffee shake Lunch: 3 bites of crab cake and about 5 potaters (made me very sick- think it was the grease in the crab cake) Supper: 1 Cheese Krystal (without bottom bread) Yall I have found myself addicted to Krystal burgers. I need some serious fussing happening here to get me away from them. I have eaten a Krystal everyday for the past 4 days.

Did you hear yourself? "A Krystal everyday for the past 4 days"...Let me repeat that "A Krystal...." That's "A Krystal", not a bag of 10 Krystals, but "A Krystal". That's not bad, especially since you are ditching part of the bun!!! So ease up on yourself! I tried a Krystal. Got so very sick!!! Send directions and times, etc. Smoochies Arlies

Try some cup-a-soup with milk and fat-free cheese in the tomato or just milk in the cream of chicken or broccoli and cheese. I confess that I put crackers (4 in mine, but I am 4 months out). I also eat baked potato with cheese, soft cooked broccoli, and ranch dressing. As you go along, you will find some "old standards" for yourself that always make your tummy happy - in my case if I am having a hard time, baked potato w/cheese or cup-a-soup helps, but I usually eat at least one cup-a-soup per day..... Breakfast: 1 tomato cup-a-soup with skim milk & cheese and 3 cheese crackers (Tom's Nabs) Lunch: 1 string cheese, 1 cube cheddar cheese Supper: 3 bites of salad, and three bites of a drummet with the crust pulled off......(This all came up....I KNEW i should've left that chicken alone.) 2nd Supper: Rest of salad (before the first supper, the salad was 1/2 a small cereal bowl.) and 1/2 inch slice of ham and cheese rollup with lettuce and cream cheese. Snacks: 1 sugar-free popsicle and 2 cups popcorn (Not at the same time.) You are doing great!!! Smoochies Arlies
