Food Talk: When were you able to??

Monday will be two weeks for me, too. I am still drinking protein shakes and eating liquids, such as soups, yogurt,...  I can have soft food next week. Tonight my family went out to eat for my daughter's birthday. I ordered grilled salmon just to see if I could tolerate it. I picked out tender peices and mashed them, then chewed and chewed. I ate about two table spoons of the salmon and stopped.  I tolerated it well and just enjoyed the fellowship. I did not miss the food, and drank my protein wane I got home. 

I try to follow the plan from the Dr. and Nut.  Protein is first, and I have to work at getting enough of it. 

I don't see those items on my diet plan, ever. 

I wish you well, though.

You are planning to never ever eat pizza, deli meat, or noodles, ever again?

I had pizza toppings 3 weeks out in soft food stage no crust til 6 mo. Out, and now only have a small square cut of thin crust or half thin if it's cut in a wedge.

Deli meat didn't agree with me til 3 mo out, still can't eat roast beef my fave. I was allowed to eat it at reg food stage.

Mac and cheese haven't had it and won't probably ever. Pasta I eat very limited like 10 spaghetti noodles in a half cup of meat sauce with cheese. No other noodles and I use the plus ones that
have protein in them.

I only had 1/4 cup potatoes 3 times before they were allowed on my plan at 6 months and one of those times was thanksgiving.

Tonight I had 4 oz skirt steak with garlic on it yummy! for dinner no sides,because no room after the steak and I had carbs at lunch.

I am just 5 weeks out.  I have been eating a slice of deli meat for a couple weeks rolled up with cheese.  

For supper, I had 2 oz of chili with some cheese on top.  

I cannot answer anything but what I had for dinner. I had 2 TbSP of refried beans with Parmesan cheese melted on it, and a dash of light sour cream.


It was amazing.

I had part of a turkey burger with cheese but no bun and about 10 sweet potato fries. I needed some carbs because I walked a 5 k today. I had surgery about 8 months ago and have had only 2 tiny bites of pasta just this week. By the way it felt like a sponge in my pouch so I will be staying away from that! Your focus needs to be protein if you want to get to goal and stay there.

I would suggest staying away from the mac and noodles till your at your goal then only a few bites after your protein.  pasta in general sits heavy in my pouch so I dont eat it. 

Deli meats are great for easy meals.  I like to make a roll up with light cream cheese and dill pickle.

I have had pizza a few times since surgery.  I eat the toppings off, throw away the bottom and give the crust to DS.

 

I had half a lg buger patty with cheese, mayo, mustard and pickle slices for dinner last night. 
I can eat what I make for my family now at 7 mths post op.  I have some of the meat and some veggie, usually skip the startch but not always.
