What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Happy birthday AV!!

I went out to dinner with my husband on Sunday to celebrate finishing another year of grad school. Not ordering a drink was probably the hardest part. I had a lamb burger with feta cheese and left the bun on my plate. I brought most of it home of course, but I only ate maybe half of it before giving the rest to my husband. The old me could never have done that, so I consider it an accomplishment!

Time since surgery: 10 weeks

B: Sugar-free iced latte and 1/2 Premier Protein

L: 3.5 oz Fage Greek yogurt with 10 g hemp seed, 10 g slivered almonds, and 15 g Parmesan cheese

S: 14 g cashews and 1 ounce cheddar cheese

D: 1 slice black forest ham, 1/2 ounce Swiss cheese, and 1 egg

S: 2 savory ricotta pancakes

TOTALS: Cals: 785 Protein: 65 Carbs: 28 Fat: 49

First post-surgery was 7 days ago. I'm feeling pretty good as of yesterday. I'm now able to do pureed. I have no idea what I'm going to eat today. So far I have 1 protein shake down. Any suggestions? 

I'm down 10#'s and heading to the store today for pureed foods! Very exciting :-)

I didn't have a pureed phase, really, so maybe someone else can chime in with suggestions.  I know I did very much enjoy Eggface's ricotta bake and refried beans with a little cheese melted on top early out.  And check this out:

Welcome to the post!

thanks much!

Check out Eggface's blog... she has a baked ricotta that will cure any Italian cravings. Also, refried beans with a little cheese pureed is good.

HA!  Twinsies!

thanks much!

I was so excited for puréed! Congrats!  

Everybody's plan is different, in terms of what foods are allowed or not allowed.  I made the pot roast on Eggface's purred foods page (already linked above) and dropped 2 oz into my magic bullet small cup with some of the gravy.  Oh my God, it was heaven!  So incredibly yummy.  My family ate the entire thing and are still asking me to make it again. 

I was hesitant to whizz up meats and fish and such.  It looks less than appetizing.  But it tastes great, so go for it.  

Another option (if allowed on your plan) is tuna and light mayo, whizzed up in your blender or magic bullet. You may not want to make it any other way.  Seriously yummy.  

Good luck! 

thanks much!

I loved refried beans, pureed chili, and mashed sweet potatoes.  Good luck and congrats!!
