What's on the menu today, RNY-ers? Please post!
Hi all,
Thanks for your participation so far in these daily diet posts. I love seeing what you're eating - it helps me to see if I am on track. It also holds me accountable. And the best is that I get ideas from all of you! So far I have noted down fajitas, ground turkey stuffed peppers, and yesterday I even bought a crockpot online to make chili. And eventually I can't wait to take plain greek yogurt, flavor it with sugar-free banana pudding, and add a few walnuts and chocolate chips! So thanks for all of the ideas!
My menu today (I am slowly making my way through leftovers so I apologize for the same menu items as yesterday :)
Time since surgery: 3 weeks, 1 day

I had a protein shake for breakfast, then a protein bar for a snack. Then I was still hungry, so I had a peach.
I think lunch is going to be leftover sloppy joes. I made them Sunday and I still have enough left for one or two more servings.
I am going to eat my corn on the cob for dinner. I was going to have it yesterday but then decided I wanted something else instead.
Snacks will be Greek yogurt and maybe some cheddar cheese.

I use Morningstar Farms soy crumbles instead of ground beef. Has the same texture. I use it in chili, too.

Beans would probably work. Something like kidney beans that don't have a strong taste would just taste like the sloppy joe sauce. But it wouldn't have the same texture.
