The Feed Bag

So................what's everyone eating?  I need to get to TJ's and stock up on yogurt and strawberries - they had the MOST awesome fresh berries - HUGE!!  I can just imagine them dipped in chocolate, but I'll be good!! Yesterday, I had: All my fluids, all my vits B - Greek yogurt with berries and cereal L - Fiesta chicken salad and Triscuits S - Handful of trail mix D - Fresco soft taco from Taco Bell - supposed to be lower in fat than a regular  I don't even wanna think about this weekend - K's bday - homemade ice cream cake, etc.  UGH!!  Yes, I'll have some, but my brother is taking the rest home!!!! Your turn!!! Tia

The same old stuff so far, I am ok to start incorporating the next level soft foods, I just can't tell the difference between soft and pureed!   B - cream of wheat  Lunch- Peach Dannon Yogurt - Snack Three  peanut butter crackers - Dinner- Tomato soup w/  mini saltines  Snack - Protein Pudding  Liquid Vitamin  Calcium.   This weekend I going to try some soft small fruit chunks with my cottage cheese, something to look forward to.  Have a great day!!!!  

Hey Terri - I agree on the liquid vitamins!!  Don't worry, they'll be a thing of the past soon!! Um, IS there any difference between soft and pureed?  Doesn't seem so to me, but there aren't any initials behind my name, either!!! If you feel up to coming to lunch on Sunday, they have a good cream of crab soup that I'm sure will fill you up after 2-3 spoonfuls!!! Tia

I had my vits and fluids. B - protien bar S - SF FF latte L - 1/2 turkey and cheese sandwich S - watermelon D - 3/4 WW chicken and cheese quesadilla, 1 spoonful of refried  beans S - SF oatmeal cookie. Big eating day for me.  I swear it is from the steroid injections.  I was also awake for 22+ hours so all that food was spread out over a long time.

Even if it wasn't spread out over 22 hours, it still looks okay to me!!  If your appetite is increasing, it could definitely be the steroids.   Take care, Tia

Since I am now running on Sunday in 1004 weather, I am fluid dumping today big time. So Fluids all day, no where with out a bottle in hand and vitamins. B - I just had peanut butter. L - Protein shake S - Nuts D - That is still up in the air, maybe some beans from Taco Bell, Damn it Tia! So I am going to drink, drink, drink, oh and drink

Alright, maybe it's the fact that you're still recovering, personally, I think it's the crack you ate last week - LOOK at the temp, Kristen!!!  Where the hell are you running?  The Sahara???  1004 degrees - bwa-haa-haa!!!!   Yeah, I know, I've been on a hot/spicy kick lately.  Trust me, I've been trying to avoid Nacho Mama's in Canton, but I'm hearing their black bean soup and fish tacos calling my name!!! Sorry - hey, the beans are protein!!!!  Top with Greek yogurt like sour cream!!! Tia

No it is these damn contacts, I can't see a damn thing.  Going now to the eye doctor.

My pre-op diet for yesterday:

B- none

L-- 2 low-fat hot dogs, 1 whole wheat roll, mustard

D-- Turkey burger on whole wheat roll, NSA fruit cup, garden salad w/ low-fat mayo

S-- caramel rice cake, fudgesicle

Hey Brandi - Looks good!  How's it working for you?  Trust me, developing good habits now will make things easier post-op. Hugs, Tia
