I'll share one of my FAVORITE recipes.. (The only one I swear by..)

BUT I need you guys to respond to my Topic and help me out..

I'm 5 weeks out today.. having moderate pain from toast.. Maybe cause i'm eating too fast..

Tried the KFC bowl.. STRAIGHT horrible pain from the chicken..

So i've been stuck on soft foods..

However.. I got down Wawas Broccoli Cheddar Soup.. And 1/3-1/4 pieces of hoagies at a time..

Very Odd...

I do not eat seafood of any kind, so please no seafood recipes.. Including Tuna.

Okay my favorite recipe...

1- canned chicken (Prefer sams club 5 cans for 10)

1-2- packets of True Lime

1-Large toss of Garlic Rice Vinegar (Found at Walmart or Shoprite)

1-Tbsp mayo

Take the chicken, strain.. break up.. add mayo, lime, and then at your descretion add the vinegar..

I go around the container like 2-3 times..

It gets dry so the more the vinegar the better

GREAT ADDITION....

Just today I cut up a piece of sliced cheese..

and cut up two slices of tomato and added 1/4-1/5 of the chicken on top ate it bite by bite..

SO DELICIOUS!!!

I want some more.. but no money to buy groceries.. :'(

Thank you all for your time, and GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS! <3 :wub:

Wow, that seems a bit of an aggressive diet for 5 weeks out. At 5 weeks I was finishing up "blenderized" foods and moving into "soft foods." No chicken or meats or breads or whole or especially raw veggies or anything like that. That could be part of the problem. Your stomach may not be ready for that. Just putting that out there...

I second what Dooter said. I even progressed at what seem people said was too quickly and didn't dare eat bread until 3 months, I just had KFC for the first time two ***hts ago and it made me sick. -- that says "n i g h t s" but the new thing keeps bleeping it! ---

I think you need to slow down. At that point I was eating softer foods like: tuna, creamed Soups, canned chicken, cottage cheese, yogurts, scrambled eggs, and soft meats like pulled pork.

I'm actually doing very well with this recipe.. No pain at all.. And the taste makes me crave it.. Especially after adding the cheese n tomato I'm laying in bed wanting to cry because I have no more chicken n I'm out of money. Ugh, idk what I'm going to eat tomorrow... I pushed away from the KFC.. I seen I couldn't tolerate it. I was to I could have the following per my nutritionist...

This search on Google can help: tofu recipes ("low fat" OR "low calorie" OR healthful)

Also, you can puree tofu in the blender along with some splenda or equal + Water or milk + fruit or Protein powder - even green leafy vegetables, such as spinach!. Puree it on the highest speed (I have a VitaMix). Add a few ice cubes and puree them as well. You have a smoothee. You essentially turntofu into a liquid. This pureeing technique works with firm, medium, soft and silken textures of tofu. I do find that different brands of tofu have different flavors. My own personal favorite brand is Mori Nu. You can order cases of Mori Nu online. But other people might find other brands to be better. Tofu always has helped me lose weight in the past. I hope that this information is helpful.

I also find hummus to be excellent.
