Ok I am on mushies and I really don't know what to eat. I have a list with a few suggestions but well. Ok maybe it is more that I am afraid to eat. I am scared of eating the wrong thing or to much. I don't want to get sick or hurt my stomache. Am I crazy or just normal? What did you eat early out that didn't bug your new tummy. I know it might not be the same for me but just curious. Oh and yes I measure everything.

I also didn't want to get sick or hurt my stomach, so was afraid to try new things. I could eat a scrambled egg, if I cooked it with 1/2 of a babybel cheese round. Also fat free refried beans with some melted cheese and salsa. Baked fish is really easy on the tummy, as is tuna fish. I made some ground turkey mini meatloaves in my cupcake pan, and they are the perfect size and easy to pop into the microwave from the freezer. The first time that I tried chicken, it came up. The second time I tried chicken, it came up. I waited 2 weeks, and the third time I tried chicken, it came up. No more chicken for me!

If you haven't already, check out eggface's website (google it), she has some really good recipies. You will have to figure out the carbs, protein and calories for yourself, but I just love her website. I'm almost 8 weeks out, and am trying to eat my protein, but find it very difficult to get it all in along with my water, so I drink at least one protein drink a day.

Best of luck to you!

I liked applesauce (and started adding unflavored protein powder to it when I got some). 

Refried beans tasted delicious but were hell on my calorie count!

Also try skinnytaste.com. Great recipes and she tells you how many calories and how much protein are in all recipes. Those mini turkey meatloaves are soooo good!! Good luck! Oh... and sugar free popsicles are your best friend right now lol!
