I'm stuck on ideas for dinner ideas. I'm three months out and running out of good ideas! I'm basically free to have any food (but I of course focus on protein), I just don't know what to make!! HELP!

I've been reading a blog, as well as facebook page, of a woman who had WLS several years ago. She has wonderful recipes and meal ideas.

I can't wait to try some of the recipes as I progress to "regular" foods!
The pizzas and casseroles all look so yummy!

Hit up BariatricFoodie in addition to Eggface's site. I make everything. For example, I make spaghetti for my family and eat the sauce while they eat the sauce, the pasta, and the garlic bread.

Some simple things to do: Roast a chicken. Cook a meatloaf ( I still use a little bit of breadcrumbs because I don't eat a lot). Make homemade chili.

The sky is the limit.

I fight badgers with spoons.

I've become a huge fan of steak (once your plan allows it - mine did then). I find the simpler, the better for me b/c I can focus on the protein and my family can still enjoy the side dishes.

They are my favorite. The petite cut ones cuz they are 4 oz to start with. I don't cook them as long as I used to - medium or medium well now instead of well done - and that helps keep it from getting too dried out and easier to eat, even reheated as leftovers. Mmmm...now I want me some steak! :)

Steak, a cheeseburger without the bun (I cut up onions and throw some bacon bits in there, too), fish, shrimp, lean pork chops, cube steaks, I do pepper steak once in a while, chili, crockpot chicken, salsa & black beans. I use a George Foreman grill for a lot of my meats and love it! It's quick and easy. Play with seasonings to change things up. There's a lot of options out there!
