Congratulations on your 65 lbs lost! AWESOME! I'm new here. I just had my lapband surgery on 1/26/09 and so far I'm down 32 lbs! I'm not big on diet foods. I would rather just have a little of the real stuff or nothing at all, but that's just me. Feel free to modify how you see fit. I found during the puree stage that chicken didn't puree too well. Things that I found puree well were: Butternut squash, carrots, hamburger in hotdishes, hamburger with mushroom Soup and mashed potatoes just to name a few. Breakfast 1/2 c Water 1/2 c 2% milk 3 Tablespoons Malt-o-Meal 1 Tablespoon Splenda brown sugar 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter Cook until desired thickness. I cook it rather thin, then take it to work and heat it up. That way it doesn't get too thick This fills me up for the whole morning. *********** Lunch/Dinner Something else I tried (just one of many experiments) was a modified tuna casserole. I subsituted instant mashed potatoes for the Pasta. sautee in a dab of butter onions celery Add to sauteed vegies: 1 can cream of muchroom soup 1 can 2% milk 2 cans tuna drained 1 dab of butter 1 dab of mayo (makes it creamy) salt & pepper to taste 1 sm pkg of instant potatoes cook to desired thickness *************** dinner Prepackage meatballs (I buy Kirkland brand from Costco) 1 can cream of mushroom soup This is quick and easy and also purees well. Then you can add 1/2 c mashed instant potatoes or 1/4 c cooked vegie like carrots or squash and a 1/4 c potatoes.
