Okay.... I made it through the puree stage.. and the soft food stage.. and my doc wants me to eat high Protein now.. okay I am fine with this however I need structure... I want a plan that I can follow day by day.. I want to know what I am supposed to eat every day instead of trying to guess my way around the day. I do not eat anything that I am not supposed to be eating but I know for sure that I am not eating all that I need to. I have had one fill and I am still getting hunger pains 2 hours after eating. Very distressful... I know there is more that I can be doing ... does any one know of any web sites that offer a structured diet plan?? Next step will to see a nutrition, and it is covered under my insurance.. just wanted to try to do this on my own... any suggestions would be greatly welcomed and appreciated!!

Happy Losing to all !!

I ate pretty much the same thing everyday for Breakfast and lunch. I would switch it up every few months. My dinner depends on what I am making for the family.

breakfast- 2 egg whites, 1 oz chedder cheese. or I would do 1/2 oz cheese and have half an OroWheat thin toast with the eggs.

Now I am having a yogurt with 1/2 c Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal with a couple of strawberries chopped up.

Lunch- 2 or 3 ounces lunch meat, 1 oz sliced chedder, veggies and a few grapes.

or canned chicken with 1/2 T mayo and veggies. NOw I have been having some Lean Cuisines.

My dinner just depends. But I usually have 3 ounces Protein, veggies and 1/4 mashed potatoes or a small baked potato.

It has been easy for me because this is what I would have normally ate for the meals before. Except I do miss not having toast for breakfast now. It is prob the only thing I really miss!

Sometimes eating the same things gets boring but it is easy to plan and I know where I am at caloriewise. I also really like these carmelized onion chicken patties from costco. Add a little teriyaki and it is so good!

Anyways, all this talking about food, I am ready for lunch!
