Hello!! It has been a little while since I last posted my meals. Work has been busy and so has life. I am needing to get more protein in. How are you doing it. I can't drink the shakes anymore (they make me sick, might be able to go back to them after a couple of weeks bing off of them but not now)

So hear goes today's menu: (5 months out on May 14th)

B- Hard boiled egg and egg yoke (my egg did not peel good)

L- Ham and cheese roll up

D- ??? Breakfast for supper so I don't know what I am having tonight....ideas?

S- Hoffman's pepper jack cheese

Vites- gone

Water- working on it

Exercise- Going at lunch.

I'm at day 24 (3 weeks and 3 days).

Breakfast: Malt-o-Meal (made 1/2 serving and ate 1/4 cup fixed thin; my dog enjoyed the rest!)

Snack: 1/4 c. low-fat milk with sugar-free chocolate Hershey's

Lunch: 1/4 c. split pea soup blenderized smooth (YUM)

Snack: 2 T. Greek yogurt (lemon!--YUM)

Dinner: 1/4 c. broccoli/cheese soup blenderized smooth (YUM)

Snack: 1 slice thin deli ham with 1 tsp. fat-free cream cheese (if I'm hungry--maybe not)

Haven't figured calories for all of this, but I estimate around 400-450. Definitely not hungry. Still having trouble getting in enough water!!

By the way, LOVE my Bullet blender--not affiliated with the company, but I must say it's the most useful tool in my kitchen for the stages of postop and mushies. Those little cups that come with are dishwasher safe and can go in the microwave too...plus they have storage lids. Seriously the most useful gadget ever.
