Cottage cheese witn crackers

Tuna salad today w/crackers, but egg salad, moist chicken and yogurt are good choices for me too, or some type of refried beans with salsa and melted cheese, I used to eat that frequently while losing weight.

tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad with some low-fat wheat thins and some sliced cucumbers

I also buy the frozen meatballs and throw them in the crockpot with some bbq sauce and then eat a few of those with some veggie

I went to the Olive Garden today for lunch it was yummy and I was a good girl :o)

I did not eat a single bread stick even though they looked yummy lol.

I had a nice small salad to start off with waited 25 min and then had 3 pieces of steak , 3 pieces of chicken which was grilled and then I had grilled veggies.

It was delish !!

Songbird I love to get them Purdue perfect portion single chicken breasts those come in so handy.  Sometimes I cook it in Italian dressing, sometimes BBQ sauce and last night I cooked it in a little white wine that was yummy.

Its the perfect portion , I will eat that maybe some cottage cheese with it and some veggies . Makes a nice lunch.

Also I dont stay away from the breads like alot of the girls do on here .  I buy that Low Carb mission soft taco tortilla shell. Its low in carbs, and very high in fiber and some protein .  It has like 13 grams of fiber in it .

I like to take that two stea**** , green peppers, mushrooms, onions and some Swiss cheese and make me a Philly cheese steak out of it .

Refried beans, with melted cheese, salsa, and sour cream that is yummy also .

 sometimes I make Quesadillas with refried beans, cheese and salsa.  I use my low carb high fiber tortilla.  I make them when I am going to be doing my Zumba for a hour then a 30 min of strength training I need them carbs that day.   That is not a every day meal . I eat this maybe every couple of weeks .

 

Stuck-stuck?  Or stuck in a rut stuck?  

I had tex mex chicken wtih roasted red peppers from a recipe that I adapted from Cooking Light.  

I used to eat it with white rice, but now I just have the chicken and sauce (red peppers, red onions, cumin, cilantro, garlic) with a serving of grated Monterey Jack cheese.  I don't miss the rice.

The dense protein in this keeps me fuller than something like a Lean Cuisine.  I wish I could do things like tuna salad, but damn, I'd be gnawing my arm off after about an hour due to hunger.

Good luck coming up with variety--maybe turkey meatballs might be a good alternate.  I do that sometimes if I don't have time to prepare a meal to portion out for several days.  It's a lazy and easy go to meal.

There are some good bariatric surgery cookbooks and blogs out there with lots of ideas.

stuck- stuck. I must not be chewing well enough.

 Sorry, misread, thought you meant stuck in a rut. You should be able to eat moist meats, it may well be as you say, more chewing needed!
