What is your Daily Menu like? for me today...wasn't very good. Here is what I had: ~pre-Breakfast~ Crystal Light Grapefruit w/unflavored whey protein mix ~Breakfast~ 1 egg 2 Canadian bacon 1/2 Toast ~Lunch~ 1 cup of homemade chicken soup w/little pasta ~Snack~ Pure Protein Bar ~Dinner~ This was very bad 4 tater tots 4 chips w/salsa (I know that good and this isn't normally what I eat) ~Snack~ I will either have a protein shake or protein bar (since I did so bad on dinner) What is your menu like??

I was busy today, and didn't get to eat much, but this is what I ate: Breakfast- protein shake Lunch- apple sauce Dinner- pureed chili Snack- more apple sauce and some cheese. I am still on pureed diet, but cheated with the cheese. Rosa

I'm glad I didn't have to do the Pureed stage, I went from 2 weeks of liquid to soft foods...I don't think I could've done the pureed... Keep up the great work... Linda

Actually it hasn't been too bad. I have had chili, beef stew, and even some frijoles negros! MMM MMM MMM. I do hope my surgeon puts me on soft foods next Friday when I see her though. I could go for some more variety! Hugs, Rosa

Ladies I envy you for being able to eat real foods!! LOL jk I am on my 5th day post-op and I've had nothing but clear liquids. So this is what I've been having since I was discharged: ~chicken or beef broth ~water with some apple juice (I'm not sure about the exact measurements just so it's not too sweet) ~tea ~sugar-free jello ~sugar-free popsicles and that's basically what I have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Oh and I tried to have something different, don't laugh, bean broth and um let's just say it didn't help the gas issue so I'm sticking to the 2 broths I can have . So this is my menu until I get cleared for creamy soups and mushy stuff. Wish me luck--it IS HARD but what helps es que la tripa no me esta gruñendo. elisa p.s. Since I am not a cook do you guys think you could share some food ideas or receipes? Maybe that could be a different thread...Thanks in advanced!
