What's for dinner?



Recommended Posts

I'm still on puréed foods, so my meals are rather uninteresting! However, if you have Pinterest, feel free to check out my board of Healthy Chow for some ideas! Hope it helps!

Sweet and sour turkey meatloaf. 258 calories per 1/4 serving and 23 grams of Protein. Easy to make and tastes great! It also freezes well. Here is the recipe: 1 lb of ground turkey (I use 93/7), 1/4 cup sugar free apricot jam, 1/4 cup Heinz chili sauce (like ketchup but has more flavor), 1/2 t minced garlic, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2 T dehydrated onion. Mix jam, chili sauce and garlic in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs, turkey and onions. Mix well. Form into loaf in a pan spayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cook at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. It is Yummy!

I wanted to do either tamale pie or turkey chili in the crock pot but they both take 10 hours. I figured this out at 2pm today... So I think I'm going to make lasagna cupcakes! I haven't made them before but I see them all over the place.

I threw in two small boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the crockpot with a jar of medium salsa. Shredded it and I am enjoying the deliciousness as we speak! Try it if you haven't already. It is soooo tender and juicy and very healthy! This will be probably four more meals for me ;)

I had them in the crockpot for almost 7 hours, but they were done after about 5 hours. I just let them soak in the salsa juices for the additional 2 hours. I had it on high for 2 hours, then switched to low for the remaining time. It is very tasty.

What is the 1/4 serving? 1/4 of the whole meatloaf? May try to adapt this to muffin tins since it's just me.

I made what I call Thai Bastard chicken soup:

carrot, red bell pepper, crimini mushrooms, shredded white meat chicken, swansons Thai Ginger broth, coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce and cilantro. Makes a huge pot (8 quarts), MORE than enough for dinner for 8 plus leftovers to freeze. About 270 calories per (12 oz) serving, which is about 2 times more than I can eat, so really only about 135 calories per serving, but you can also cut calories way down by cutting out the coconut milk or cutting the amount used in half. I mix 1 scoop of unflavored Protein powder with mine to keep the Protein up, but for the family, I serve as is.

Yes 1/4 of the meatloaf is one serving. It freezes so well in individual bags that I cook a meatloaf, divide it into 4 portions and package individually.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
