    I thought I would share this with those of you that need Protein drinks and different options :crying:

    ddw12 got a reaction from danielbyhalf in Italian Chicken Thighs   
    One of my favorite things when I go onto solids is my crockpot! One of my favorite recipes is skinless chicken thighs, throw into the crockpot, season with salt, pepper and what other spices you like to use, squeeze a whole bottle of Italian Dressing over the chicken. Put the crockpot in low for 8 hours. And when you get home it is done! I usually would serve with a roasted veggie!!! The meat is super tender and melts and I think it will be ok for my tummy! Of course unless my taste has changed like it has with some items! Lol

    ddw12 reacted to erp in What's your favorite go to snacks?   
    My favorite snack is carrot chips and Protein dip. Carrot chips are carrots sliced like crinkle cut potato chips, I find them next to the baby carrots in my produce dept. I make protein dip by mixing a container of low fat cottage cheese, my favorite dip mix (ranch, French onion, etc) and a little bit of milk or sour cream all in the food processor until smooth.

    I'm not quite out a month will be on the 20th. I'm in the mushie stage since Thursday but didn't try till today! I took one egg, added a touch of milk seasonings then scrambled with some cheese. Did a runny scramble, then mixed it in with a couple of spoonfuls of cottage cheese! It was sooooo good! I was able to eat about half of it! It was a great way to start off the morning!

    My surgery is Nov. 20th and that's also my 35th B-day...I'm super excited for my B-day gift!!! I'm doing pretty well on my pre-op diet although I did cheat on Saturday for my early B-day dinner. I also recommend unjury products, they are so tasty BUT my NUT does not recommend the Unjury chicken Soup because it is very HIGH in sodium...check the sodium on the soup labels because although some diets allow Soups, not all soups are good for you.
