Soft Phase Lunch:

Hi Protein mashed potatoes made with greek yogurt, mixed with finely ground turkey and cream of chicken soup/greek yogurt gravy. This totalled 1/4 cup, maybe a little less. Recipe posted in recipes Forum.

2 oz. of Broiled chicken, 2 oz. of mixed veggies, and I ate 3 bites of salad! I'm still excited, since this is the first time I've had salad since surgery! So, happy!

I had 4 mini muffins - made from eggs, sausage, green chilis and cheese.

YUMMMMM

I had tuna salad wrapped in a lettuce leaf with some cantaloupe, raspberries and walnuts! I am pre op but I felt like sharing anyways because this is something that would be nice for post op as well!!

I had 1/2 cup whole wheat spaghetti with 1 wingette. Honestly, i wanted to eat another wing, but couldnt! lol

The microwave @ the office went on the fritz... but luckily I had an taylor made asian salad mix in frig so had that w/ small can of tuna and the asian dressing. YUM! I need to MFP it to see what the cal/prot was.

Just MFP'd .. 216 cal and 20 gr port.

4oz boiled shrimp with a couple TBS cocktail sauce....and handful of salad with light balsamic vinaigrette. YUM!

3 turkey meatballs and a wedge of light laughing cow cheese.

Ham, cheese & tomato Fritada muffin.

YUM!

Salad with sliced strawberries, a little cut-up avocado, a tablespoon of blue cheese crumbles, small amount of sliced cucumber and a piece of Columbus Smoked Turkey shredded in it. Topped it all off with one tablespoon of Ken's Steakhouse Light Italian dressing.

1oz smoked salmon and 1 cherry tomatoe.

Wow I feel like I eat so much more than what everyone listed. And I feel like I eat all day long...I'm 11weeks out and down 42lbs. A little disappointed but better than nothing. Today I've had a hard boiled egg, 4oz of chicken salad with celery stalks, 4 pieces of beef Jerky, 1/2 cup of dry granola, 3 or4 pineapple chunks and I'll probably eat something else before the nights over because I just got back from Zumba and I'm always hungry after that. Am I doing too much? I've not really been sick except a couple times(eating too fast I think). Just feel like I should be eating less...

That all equals 934 calories and 60g of Protein

I'm 11 weeks out and hardly eat. I have no appetite and nothing sounds good so I'm struggling daily with what to eat. Any suggestions for people in these early stages what to eat? Meat is still too tough for me.

Work nights, so I slept through lunch, but for dinner I had two pieces of sushi and 1/4 cup of hot and sour soup..14 grams protein and 250 calories = Yummy!
