I'm getting so discouraged with trying to plan what I will eat each day or for lunch or dinner! This is causing me to just not eat because it's so time consuming and tedious. I buy Healthy Choice meals which are great but I get tired of picking out the Pasta and rice. I have to admit that I don't like a lot of foods and when I find the recipes online for post-op, most don't catch my fancy. I have to eat in order to keep my metabolism rate up but it's getting harder and harder. When I find something that I do like, I eat it until I can't stand it anymore. I like SIMPLE, easy to prepare meals with simple ingredients. As far as meat, I only like chicken and beef, no pork or fish. I'm not into a lot of different veggies and the ones I do like I can barely eat now due to the gas. Last week, I nibbled on some cheese crackers the whole day for 4 or 5 days because I didn't want to even think about trying to plan a decent meal. I was full and STILL had weight loss success but crackers wont' sustain me. It's TOUGH and I haven't come up a solution yet.

Thank you for you awesome ideas! I will try them for sure

Great idea!

I do not have my surgery date yet but I'm keeping a journal. I write down ideas I come across on this app. Great idea for when the time comes for me to be able to eat this type of menu.

Thanks for sharing!
