I am going to my weight loss support group meeting in a couple of weeks and we are having a potluck.  I am unsure what to make because we have many people that have had different surgeries.  I haven't had surgery yet so I am still unsure what everyone can eat and what they can't.  Does anyone have any good ideas for something that is easy to make??

We had a tailgate party at work yesterday and I brought a crockpot full of chili.  Three kinds of canned beans, cooked ground beef, tomato sauce and chili powder.  Easy, good and full of protein.

A cheese tray with several different types of cheeses would probably go over well.
