I had a small sweet potato, with a tablespoon of i cant believe its butter,

And i boiled a boneless skinless chicken breast. With salt and pepper, curry, garlic powder and some soul food seasoning. After it cooked i put a tablespoon of BBQ sauce to the side so the bites of chicken wouldnt be to dry,

All was good, filled up quick even tho i was slow eating

Where do you buy the boca burger?

Grocery stores sell em in the freezer section

Hmm. I noticed a lot of people say they can't have lettuce or salads. I am almost three weeks out and my nutritionist said I could work them into my diet at the beginning of week three. I had my first salad yesterday and just dipped it in the dressing and I tolerated it just fine! Granted I could not eat very much at all oh and I had my surgery on the 24th of January.

The problem with lettuce is little nutritional value. Eat your protein first your veggies second and salad last. ..it does fill your pouch and does bother a lot of people.

I eat salad all the time. Can't eat much but I tolerate it fine.

I had 3 baby back ribs tonight. Great on protein, but probably too much fat. Tolerated fine. It was a good treat, but probably not the best idea to eat regularly.

Tonight I had 1/2 cup of spaghetti squash with 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce, 2oz grilled chicken and 1/4 cup of mozzarella

Ground turkey meatloaf with ketchup to keep moist.

Kinda of topic but oh well. Does anyone feel more full with water than food. I can only do 2 sips of water but I can sit and eat about 3 ounces of beans or food. I do take my time but I just cant drink anymore for about 30 minutes if I do it comes back up and I cant hold it sorry TMI but Im kinda worried that seems odd or at least I haven't heard of this happening to anyone Im 3 wks out I can't get all my water in. It takes me half a day to drink just a bottle of 16.9 ounces

I had1/2 cup of turkey chilli with beans.

You ladies are brave!! I still haven't had anything crunchy like chips or crackers or any kind of starchy thing. I think they may be my triggers any way so don't miss them lol I did but some seaweed chips for next week and some edamame I'm going to roast- one more day on soft foods! But honestly, I don't think my eating will change much for the next few months. I mostly eat a shake for breakfast, an ounce of shaved deli meat and slice of reduced fat cheese for lunch, same for snack... And well usually the same for dinner lol I don't see how I could get my 60g of protein and 60 oz of water in if I ate anything else lol Any advice?? I'm a month out tomorrow. I'd love to have one or two crackers or a whole wheat tortilla one day lol also how much fat/ day does your doc advise? I eat a lot of cheese lol even if it's reduce fat it's not fat free

I am a little over a month out...I have my crackers and cheese....with tuna. What I do is mix the tuna with fat free miracle whip...and this might sound gross to some...but I mix in a little bit of mustard. It's delicious! I have 1/4 cup of that on 2 Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers..which are huge (60 cal..1.5g fat..2 sugars..1g protein)..and 1 wedge of Laughing Cow Light French Onion cheese (35 cal..1.5g fat...1 sugar..2g protein)...I got this idea from another poster..sorry forgot who, but thank you! This makes a great meal for me..

How many weeks out are you? You can eat chocolate without dumping? I'm so scared to try that...

I experience this all the time!! I've noticed a significant improvement in how much I'm able to eat, but I still struggle daily with getting in more than 32oz water. Weird, isn't it??

Ya I get really full off of water. It takes me FOREVER to drink a bottle of water. It may seem weird but I drink more if I put it in a glass.

I'm 7 months out. I didn't try chocolate or sweets of any kind until I was 5 months out and the. It was just a bite. And there is very littleof it that I eat. One square of dove dark chocolate has 4 grams of sugar and I eat it at the end of the meal so that it won't go straight through me. It's a rare treat for me but I've discovered that it keeps me from eating sugar free pudding or sugar free ice cream, etc. that I hear that others eat to get their sweet fix and that one piece of dark chocolate is less calories. I am certainly not advocating that anyone else eat chocolate but for me, it's a small indulgence that's under the 10 grams of sugar that my nut recommends and I'm choosing the path of moderation long term.
