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

I don't get why my doctor wants me on a puree diet for four whole weeks! I know' date=' it will pass fast, but it's sooooo boring![/quote']

AGREED!!!!!

I'm running out of ideas of things to eat. I don't like seafood' date=' and I feel like I'm eating the same things over and over and that's always been a pet peeve of mine, I like variety, and when you're so limited it's hard to switch things up. I guess maybe I'm just frustrated because my husband got himself a pizza for dinner and I'm like "mmm...soft chicken....again"[/quote']

I'm so with you. I'm sick of shakes and I can't eat chicken since it doesn't sit well. I hate seafood and red meats get stuck. I ran out of ideas too. It's so hard going out to dinner, everyone's eating and enjoying their food while I get a soup and have to go super slow, so it's hard to enjoy it. I have buyers remorse and I hate to be Debbie downer. But it's true. People keep saying in time it will pass but I'm so impatient. I just want a slice of pizza!!!!!!

To my Michigan girls: Go Blue (I'm alumni sry) Been outta there 20 yrs but I feel for y'all!! Tonight was a little Greek salad w/ gyro meat. I am sooo tired of waitresses asking "was everything ok with the food?" I'm only eating about the size of an egg (Sx 1/14/13)

They make a reduced sugar ketchup. My boy friend just made a chicken meatloaf with it. So good. Also you can sub salsa and it works really good.

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' date=' 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 <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Look up on amazon simply protein chips. The chili ones are really good. Also, quest protein bars are really yum. I'll have 1/2 of one as a snack.
