My Lunch: A Pictorial Attempt To Show You Life Will Be Normal

  • Popular Post

If you consider eating Indian food normal that is :)

So if you're worrying you won't be able to eat or enjoy your food or be normal? Here's what I made for lunch today. Brown rice for the kids, ground beef curry, cucumber/tomato/Greek yogurt salad, palak paneer (spinach. with a homemade cheese). Apart from the rice, all good for us sleevers to eat.

I sometimes see people thinking they won't enjoy food, or that they can only have baked chicken and steamed vegetables. SO not true. I make Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, Greek etc all the time.

What is true however, is that my two kids (23 and 13) and my husband and I all ate--and we finished about a fourth of the food you see here :)

Feel free to post pics of what you're enjoying today that is sleeve friendly.

Whew! I tried habanero hot sauce on my eggs this week at 3.5 weeks out. My sleeve was okay with it, but my colon was not! :). Let's just say I won't need any Miralax this week. Haha!

Hahahaha you poor creature, I've never had the issue of hot food giving the other end a toasting. Lucky me I guess :P

First time adding to this thread! I am six and a half weeks out, cleared for all food by my surgeon. Sometimes I feel like I eat more than many people this far out are capable of. Depends on what it is, some proteins are much easier than others!

So glad you added to it! Don't worry about what others can eat. Just focus on not eating too much for your sleeve and you'll be just fine. Maybe you are just a fast healer, nothing wrong with that.

Just love indian foods and afraid I won't be able to eat spivey foods again. I love spicy foods.

We haven't stopped with spicy food at all. My husband can eat a little less spice than before but not significant. You may be just fine with it

Baked ham (60 grams), steamed broccoli (about 1/3 cup florets and stems), one baby bel cheese shredded

Mistysj, That looks amazing!! I had baked broccoli with dinner tonight! :) I find baked tastes so much better to me now a days. Baked with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Plus there a little crispy too! yumm

My dinner tonight. Hubby & I went to Gringos Mexican Restaurant and shared this. It's combo fajitas with 4 shrimp brochettes. I put mine on the little bread plate but wasn't even able to eat all of that.

Sigh this is my favorite plate from gringos the Veracruz. I used to go very other Friday. I'm a week out so I'm no where near to eat this. Eventually I know I will taste it again =)

Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boat

attachicon.gifDSC02888.JPG

wow what a great idea! Love it. I'll have to try it.

I make taco meat and then put it in a small casserole dish with refried Beans on top with cheese, and then melt the cheese in the oven and we eat it with salsa, guacamole and sour cream. I love that but this will be a nice add.

OMG that looks like heaven!! I love me some sea food all the time :)

However I think the shrimp might have made me swell some. I had puffy eyes this morning. But I'm not sure tho. I'll have to try shrimp again next week and see if it happens again.

Oh and my almost 3 year old ate a whole zucchini boat to himself. That must mean something!!! lol
