 2 questions---Newbies in the soft stage: What does a daily menu look like to you?

Veterans: What does a daily menu look like to you?
I so can't wait for this journey to begin and am curious how things will look down the road.
Thanks!

 Thanks everyone for the replies! It is nice to have a general idea. How does avacado sit with people post op. Like for lunch, have an avacado and maybe cheese and apple?

those things would all sit fine for me.  Keep in mind that it would be a fairly low protein lunch.  I do have a low protein meal sometimes, like a big salad, and just make up for it with a protein shake later on.

I'm a newbie,about 6 weeks out, but I'm on regular food.

As for your last question, avocados sit with me just fine, but I have to watch my portions. Too much and I'll have diarrhea. I had a 1/4 of a small avocado on a quesadilla I made last night, and it was heaven. But not more than that for me.

Typical meals:

Breakfast - I usually have an Atkins shake first thing in the morning, then go do my errands and gym.

Second breakfast - Some kind of protein, usually some greek yogurt or a hardboiled egg.

Lunch - Because I'm lazy, I'll usually just eat the meat portion out of a Lean Cuisine frozen meal, and a few bites of the veggies (I save the rest for my snack). I feed the carbs to my dog. Salisbury steak is my favorite.
Other times, I'll have leftovers from dinner the night before.

Snack - remainder of my lunch veggies, sometimes a string or babybel cheese, sometimes a protein bar or some cottage cheese.

Dinner - I eat a wide variety of things for dinner--chicken sausages, meatballs, turkey dogs, meatloaf, roast chicken or turkey and gravy, quesadillas, scrambled eggs....
I usually pair dinner with a few spoonfuls of broccoli or spinach.

And then for dessert, if I want it, I'll have a SF pudding cup or a Sweet Indulgence ice cream cone. But I find I rarely want dessert anymore.
