Finally, real food... although it's mush for now.

So I am 2 wks post-op and started the mushy food today. A few months ago I was shopping for dinner (I miss cooking real food) and noticed something called Bacon Salt in the seasoning aisle. So last week I was buying my baby food type foods for my week 2 and remember the bacon salt for my mashed potatoes. It is fantastic! The one I found has no calories and is low in salt and gluten free. I have been sprinkling it on everything, my cream of chicken soup, baby food, and today in my refried beans. Being Hispanic I know that the only way to make authentic refried beans is to use bacon fat. Well of course that's a no-no now so the bacon salt added a great authentic flavor. Unfortunately I got full so quickly and couldn't even finish my 1/3 cup serving. So now I'm looking forward to eating the rest for dinner.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to make a bacon protein shake, lol. I am so sick of protein shakes already but I know it's a quick protein boost. I found one at Costco that has 30 grams so I have two a day and I get my required 60 grams and everything else is bonus :thumbup:
I'm going to have to get the unflavored protein powder soon because I'm sick of sweet shakes. My problem was never craving sweets but fatty foods so I would rather add protein to my foods than have to drink more candy, yuck!
And the vitamins and pills are getting tedious as well but they don't bother me when I think of how much better I will feel as I lose weight. I don't miss eating food, even when I had to smell my bf's steak cooking and watch him chew it, God how I miss chewing food... I was okay with my mashed potatoes because I figure that in my lifetime I've had more than my share of steaks, pizza, burgers, and everything else that helped me get to this size. I am fine with having to give it up for now because at this point in my life I'd rather look and feel good than have my food taste good. A lesson learned the hard way...
