What is your favorite meal ?

Just as the title reads, im curious to know what your favorite meal is as a post op. I am trying to gather some ideas. Thanks

I have to pick just one favorite?

Well, lately I've been eating a lot of pinto beans with some diced onion and peppers and salsa, topped with shredded cheddar.  That's yummy.

I love Greek yogurt, with a little Splenda and some sugar free cheesecake pudding mix stirred in, then topped with no sugar added cherry pie filling and a crumbled up graham cracker.  Tastes just like cherry cheesecake.

I guess those would be my two current favorites.

Hmmm! I guess it depends on how far post-op we're talking. My favorite meal for the first year post-op was black bean soup. Now (7 years post-op), my favorite meal is a 4 oz portion of salmon coated with a little olive oil and Paul Prudhomme's Salmon Magic Seasoning. I cook it on my George Foreman grill. Takes less than 5 minutes.

Crab legs.

It takes work to crack them and get the meat - so it slows down the meal, which is great.

It is a great soft protein.

I don't need butter or anything!

 

I LOVE crab legs!  It's the only meal I can finish because there's really not that much meat and you have to work for it :)

I also love a good omelet for lunch, and shrimp or any seafood for dinner :)

 

This was my favorite pre-surgery food and I expect to love it after surgery, too! :) I am a baby sea otter, I can rip a dungeness crab apart without a single tool! :)

My husband loves filet mignon and caesar salad.

I would have to say the pintos & cheese too. I have ate a LOT of pintos & cheese post op. Not very exciting but it's warm & it feels me up for a while.

To be honest, I don't have a favorite anymore.  Although I think something sounds very good to me, when I actually eat it I find that my taste buds have changed and I don't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.  Pea soup is something I eat a fair amount of, and string cheese.  I still eat protein bars every week day, and I drink sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast every morning.  Those both taste good, although sometimes the protein bars are too sweet.  I like the Atkins bars.  Your dietician will probably tell you not to eat too many of those - mine said no more than four a week, but I eat five a week and I don't think they hurt me.  They're an easy way to get protein and not too much to eat at one time.

shrimp, with a little bit of ****tail sauce

lobster :)  (one lasts a LONG time these days!)

sashimi!!!  yum.

Meatloaf and broiled fish (like tilapia).  I am also a big salad and soup fan (tomato and french onion are my favs).
