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 DID YOU GET TURKEY PEPPERONI?

I get it at Harris Teeter or Food Lion, but I think most grocery stores have it. Look where the bags of pizza pepperoni are, Hormel makes turkey pepperoni. It has been a great treat. I toast it in the toaster oven. Crispy, salty, and all protein.

Aside from those who are on their liquid diets, I feel like I am eating so limited/restricted compared to others who are on on the pureed foods stage like me. For one I am scared to try new foods. I've gotten sick a couple of times already once from eating eggs and once from eating pureed (canned) split pea soup.

My instruction packet says that by now I should be eating some soft foods but when I contacted my surgeon the other day she still wanted me on mushy/pureed foods. I'm glad I have an appointment With her next Friday.

I'm scared to try new foods but at the same time I miss eating and I am left feeling hungry only on pureed foods.

Today I had 4 ounces of 2% cottage cheese for breakfast, 2 ounces of chicken broth & one 8z. carton of Muscle Milk for lunch and I may have 4 Oz lentils or chick peas for dinner.

Not enough protein!

I'm going back through the forums getting so ideas, can't wait to try the buffalo chicken cupcakes! I feel sometimes Im not eating the right things.. But I was told if I can tolerate it (like bread or pasta) to eat it.. I can't eat very much at all.. but I eat alot of string cheese and try to eat my protein before anything else that I make for dinner. I think I'm going to start getting sliced deli meat to eat with my cheese because I'm struggling getting my protein in. My hair is falling out as a result of it.. so hopefully I can get this all figured out, I had surgery 10/31/12-- so its not like I'm a newbie at this, just some days are better than others. I eat alot of crackers, and cashews and try to eat a protein bar once a day, but I'm getting tired of those! I don't like the drinks either. When I want something sweet, I eat teddy grahams. I appreciate you all posting ideas, I'm going to try the morningstar sausage and boca burgers. Thanks again!

Are you drinking protein shakes?

Tonight I'm making Philly cheesesteak-style sloppy joes. It's ground turkey with peppers and onions and melted provolone on top on a whole wheat roll (for hubby, no roll for me)

Here's the recipe: http://www.emilybite...-joes.html#more

Brunswick stew.

Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Roasted pork tenderloin with roasted vegetables

Do you roast cumin seeds then grind them?

Do you roast cumin seeds then grind them?

Yes. I roast them in the oven before I grind them. I love cumin and this makes it rich and warm and toasty.

I found Kashi made a pizza 15 grams of protein a slice. Now I could I only eat a small sliver but it was good. I've been wanting pizza so I satisfied my craving healthier. Problem is super thirsty afterwards

I also threw a tomato in there. It's delicious. I wish I had enough room for a second serving lol
