Foods that I'm loving right now...



Recommended Posts

Here are some foods that I'm really enjoying right now. What are some that are working for you?

Breakfast:

- 1/2 C Cottage cheese with Splenda and Cinnamon

Lunch:

- Oscar Meyer 98% Fat Free hot dogs (cooked in the microwave is fine)

- salad with grilled shrimp, candied pecans, fruit, goat cheese

- Turkey sandwich (no bread, use lettuce as the 'wrap') with light mayo, cucumbers, caramelized onions, cheese

Dinner:

- 4 oz chicken (cooked in Pam), put 1/2 T bacon crumbles and 2 T 2% cheese and broil until melted

- Portabella mushroom with some Protein (crumbled turkey sausage is great), Pasta sauce and 2% cheese baked for about 20 minutes

- Hormell, individually wrapped pork chops seasoned and cooked in Pam

- Sauteed summer squash, zucchini, onions and mushrooms, topped with filet and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Snacks:

- Turkey Pepperoni with sliced up string cheese - bake for a few minutes until the cheese is melted

- Mix and melt 1 Laughing Cow Cheese with pineapple Salsa, spread on Turkey and roll up

- Pita Crisps (just came out, Keebler) with Sharp Cheddar Alouette Cheese

- Cucumbers with salmon cream cheese or Alouette Cheese, sprinkled with candied pecans

Your turn! :-)

Current favs are any kind of breakfast meats and eggs, crab cakes, tuna salad, mini quiches, regular quiches, hearty Soups as some examples.

Do you eat regular bacon and regular sausage?

I also love the cottage cheese with cinnamon! It's so good! I also like turkey sausage and egg whites, and usually will eat that for lunch or something on a whole wheat wrap. Really good!

Dole makes cinnamon apple cups that come with granola to sprinkle on the top. These are my favorite food when I'm craving something sweet. It's like eating a little cup of apple pie.

I really love Laughing Cow cheese, too

Oh and peanut butter! If I'm low on Protein for the day, I'll have a spoonful. Yummy!

This week I made something similar to this - salad.html" rel="external nofollow">http://bariatricfood...cken-salad.html (buffalo chicken salad)

If I make it again, I will use chopped up chicken breast and make it more solid rather than mushy. I only had canned turkey on hand at the time. It was very good. Oh and I don't like blue cheese, so I omitted that.

Do you eat regular bacon and regular sausage?

Yeah. Just a lot less of it than I used to. I lost a lot of weight eating sausage and bacon because it's on the Atkins diet. My one concern is the fact that it's processed meat.

Great ideas you've listed here. I like how you've made things fancy with small additions. No need to eat generic or simple foods! I also really enjoy making a small salad more refined with toasted almonds, a bit of goat cheese and some cubed apple. Before my lapband, I would have left off all the little touches of fun because I'd concentrate on eating a huge salad (to fill me up) and not want to add the additional calories of the little bits on it. Now I don't have to do that.

Was in Kroger yesterday picking up some meds and was really hungry. Tried to find a snack and found an Oscar Mayer lunch meat single package. It was 2 oz serving of lean ham (and turkey and chicken as well). 50 calories 1 fat 9 Protein. Only cost a buck. Held me over till supper. Definitely going back to stock up.

Kroger has an amazing diet Decaf tea that they sell near the dairy area that is AMAZING. My doctor's office swears by the stuff and I drink it all the time.

Jimmy dean egg white breakfast sandwiches ( with blessing of my nutritionist). Have one every morning for breakfast. Love the pita crackers and flat bread crackers from keebler with homemade chicken salad for lunches. Zucchini/quinoa casserole with the plethora of fresh seasonal veggies. Marinated talapia filets from sams club. Loving the healthy food...esp when i know it leads to weight loss!

Another thing I'm loving right now is taking some fresh broccoli and putting it in a ziplock bag with some low sodium soy sauce. Seal up the bag about 95% and microwave 3:00 or until desired done ness. Makes awesome side dish.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
