Food Choices

Happy New Year to everyone!

Ok you guys, I really need help on making better food choices. I saw the dietician but she wasn't too helpful to me. Maybe because she hasn't went through the surgery herself. Can you guys tell me some safe foods that will work?

I've been lucky so far that I can eat anything and haven't been stuck. If you're worried about that, tofu, lentils and Beans are a nice choice- they're easy to chew up well and provide protien. I also like to bake white meat chicken with some sort of sauce to keep it moist. eggs are also good if you can eat them- I have them scrambled, boiled and fried. As far as veggies, cucumbers, bell peppers and carrots (diced really small) have been easy to eat.

My nutrientist suggest 4-5 ounces of lean Protein with the following guidelines:

Less than 7 grams of fat

Less the n 7 grams of carbs

21 grams of Protein or more

Limited greens if necessary

That makes choices very limited.

Breakfast: eggs, lean meat ommlettes, greek yogurt, smoked salmon, cheese

Lunch: Lean protein: thin and trim coldcuts http://www.thinntrim.com/catalog/product_detail.cfm?component=2&category=2&group=5

steak, etc

dinner : same as lunch : fish / steak / chicken / tofu
