What to eat for Easter dinner
Going to my moms for dinner today..I will have a little bit of ham, a T of mashed potatoes and carrots or broccoli. I will be 4 weeks tomorrow. We then will go to my SIL house afterwards.. Taking a protein shake and some yogurt, just in case.. This will be the first real test, they are celebrating our neices b-day today..no one on my husbands side of the family knows I had surgery. There will be lots of good fattening food, but I will play with my grandson. They all know on my side.
Any other ideas? What's everyone else going to have.
Well I am close to 15 months out and 112 lbs. lost but still very cautious. I will have a tiny slice of ham (haven't had ham yet all this time) a Tablespoon or two of broccoli rice casserole, 1/2 deviled egg and salad. We are having strawberry short cake for desert. Sugar free angel food cake, sugar free cool whip and sliced strawberries. I will just have some sliced strawberries. And iced tea ... No wine. For breakfast this morning I had protein coffee, 1/2 cup eggbeaters and some fruit. I will have a protein shake mid afternoon then Easter dinner about 6:00. That should do it for a good day. I rarely get traditionally hungry. It is just an empty feeling and if I don't eat I do get lightheaded. Plenty of warning though. Maybe some skinny pop as a late snack. I will see when I get there if I want popcorn ... Just 1 cup.
We had our Easter dinner yesterday. Lucky for me, I did all the cooking! I am only just over a week out of surgery, but I was still able to eat a few things from my week 2 diet list. I had a deviled egg (fat free), about 1T of mashed potatoes (fat & lactose free), and about 1T of green bean casserole (just because it looked so yummy). Actually that is what I had on my plate, I only ate about 1/2 of that or maybe a little more. No problems, no nausea. That was around lunchtime. I had water for breakfast, LOL. Then later that evening I had about a half of one of those individual sugar-free applesauce cups. That was my Easter! And lots of water.
Today, I think I am going to make french toast for my husband for brunch. I am going to try a piece with some sugar free syrup. I have heard bread is hard to tolerate, but this will be soaked in egg and soft, so I am hoping it works.

Very proud of myself. I had a small piece of ham, about 1T of scalloped pot. 1 piece of cooked broccoli and carrot. When everyone was eating dessert, I went and did the dishes. At mySIL house I had a little bit of ham and turkey. Took a bite of lamb and find not like it, Aldo one bite of deviled egg.
