I don't know about quinoa, but I would be interested in knowing what you are eating at this stage.

 My favorite at the moment is scrambled eggs with feta.  Sometime with the veggie sausage, but it is quicker without.  Had pot roast last night with crock pot sweet potato and turnip (less than .5 ounce though of the non protein).  Went out to eat for the first time at a place called Stir Crazy- asian fare that has been Americanized.  I ate the inside of two potstickers (able to mash with a fork) and seared Tofu from the daugher and husband's plate of Pad Thai.  Delicious and loved saving the cost of a meal for me!  The Tofu was so good that I am going to look up how to prepare it, as one container would be protein for multiple meals.  Tried a mango/silken tofu blend and that was nasty.  Still do greek yogurt with protein powder, but I am happy to have added in the eggs for some variation in the morning.  Tonight is going to be fish.  Again prepared so that mashing with a fork is possible.  I found that using the blender to puree is a bit of a bummer, so I am gravitating toward food that is fork mashing friendly, and that is working quite nicely.  At some point this weekend I am going to do some Chili.  

I think the best part is that I feel like I can eat food that I like :)  I make intelligent choices as far as making sure protein is there without a lot of carb, but I am content with the diet.  Looking forward to soft foods in a week, as it will make lunches and breakfast that much easier to add in a few more go to items.  I will add in immediately low fat mozerrla sticks and veggie sausage (links, not patties- found that I like those better).  

Realized that once I started eating and using less shakes that my protein is down a bit.  I have supplemented with 2 Isopure plus' a day- an easy 30 grams of protein and I need the fluid.

I have been getting my minimum liquids in and more, but got a call from the hospital saying my uric acid is up and to increase fluids.  Sigh.  Hope I can avoid blowing out the gall bladder!

What have you been eating?

 Ahh... perfect post ya'll, thank you.  I too can have cream of whea****ery oatmeal,  etc.  

I cannot have seeds though and I was not thinking of quinoa as a seed!  I will wait, thanks!!
