What's on your menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

did them a little different this time- 7 min in iP then Natural Pressure release (not quick) for 10-15 min.

spray oilive oil, buffalo powder seasoning, and salt pepper. They were so soft and yummy

and you gave me an idea on that chili- I had leftover so I put the tomato with some turkey (no bean) with ti for lunch and some leftover spaghetti squa**** was sooo good

I am 2 weeks post op and still on full fluids - here is my plan:

breakfast: 1/2 cup greek yogurt

snack: 1/2 cup warm applesauce with cinnamon

lunch: 1/2 cup strained cream of chicken soup, 1/4 cup pudding

snack: 1/4 cup pudding

dinner: 3/4 cup of strained cream of mushroom soup

snack: 1/2 cup warm applesauce with cinnamon

exercise: 20 min walk

Congratulations on your surgery! Question...how do you feel after the applesauce? For me, that much fruit sugar was terribly hard on my new pouch. I wasn't eating fruits of any kind for several months post op and even now am cautious. I know everyone is different but I wonder if you are having any trouble? Also...how much protein is that? It looks like maybe maybe 30 grams to me unless you have some crazy magic soups with uber protein. If you are feeling any kind of tired or drained you might need to check and see if your doctor wants you to have more protein than you are getting. All the best!

I can't do apple sauce either. It makes me feel horrible and I can't eat apples either. Weird huh?

I couldn't do applesauce either, so strange.

I don't recall ever doing applesauce either... but it falls into the 'weird' consistency thing for me, and it was all I could do to eat yogurt for the protein value alone... and fruit has never held a huge appeal to me (aside from watermelon and pineapple, and I haven't had much of either one since surgery)

I haven't had even a yogurt since I got released from pureed foods

I would nix the applesauce and pudding unless it is sugarfree. Lots of sugar in applesauce. It would make me ill.

I am looking forward to going back to work. I have a job interview today!!! I don't want to work many hours I just want to get back out with people again!
