Barb your dinner menu looks great, enjoy.

i am less than one week away from surgery.

my day will consist of opti, opti and more opti along with water, broth, decaf tea & coffee and s/f jello for dessert. In all honesty it has not been as bad as i expected.

I have made it all before and it is tasty......

Enjoy the opti....I liked not having to worry about what I was going to eat.....just think of where you will be next year at this time....feeling healthy!!

May I come to dinner please?  Everything sounds wonderful but food is just half the fun of a good party, company can make it or break it.  Have a fun evening Barb.

Nothing too exciting going on here today except for moving of things around before our contractor gets back Monday.  I'm making a few batches of quinoa granola today and a few batches of nuts and bolts.  I have to get this out of the way before he is here or my food may be full of compound dust.  I'm giving these away as part of gifts to people so would prefer to leave the dust out :)  DH is home so my back gets a break since he will do the heavy carrying.

B - protein shake

L - chili or at least I think it's chili that I took out this time, if not then it's minestrone soup, 1 oz old cheddar

S - greek yogurt with some homemade granola on it as it should be ready by then

D - orange beef stir fry

I'm having some red wine tonight so likely 13 oz since I usually share a bottle with the old man.

Barb – Your menu sounds amazing – enjoy your night. Today is my husband's Birthday.

B- Egg, ¼ c milk, two slices of multigrain melba toast

S- Danone – Silhouette Fat Free Greek Yogurt Vanilla twist, loaded with 2 scoops LeanFit Vanilla Protein

Lunch – homemade pumpkin soup (my Mother in Law made this for me) with ¼ c milk added – and two scoops of skim milk powder

S- Nordica Fat Free Cottage Cheese

D- a recipe from my Post-Op NUT book – Mexican Delight (kidney beans, refried beans, low sodium salsa and chili powder (calls for low sodium salsa will do my best to find it). Fitness Pal did not have a low sodium option to pick in the recipe calculator hence my higher sodium today.

Question – I am eating ½ c a meal and am having absolutely no issues. I am 9 days post-op. I fear stretching my pouch but I also think I will be okay as long as I measure – any feedback on that?

OT – Hate to mention in the food thread but my black stool issue no longer exists – thank you God - I was very worried!

Sounds like you are doing great. 1/2 c will not stretch your pouch. Eventually you will do up to 1 c. Glad the black stools have resolved

Thank you Pat, you're such a sweetie!

Good morning Barb. Have fun tonight. You will probably work off the calories getting ready and being hostess. I am hoping to go for a long walk this morning. Unfortunately woke up with my cold worse and progressing to my lungs. So I will see how far I get. Need to pick up some final items for Monday's work party. A Secret Santa gift and for my boss. Also need to grocery shop.

So far this is all I have planned. Will drink lots of tea and water
