Help with cooking food choices for self and family



Recommended Posts

I have progressed to solids and have a sample menu from my nut. I was just wondering what some of you cook that you can eat and your family can eat.

I try to prepare things that are easily deconstructed for myself. I have two young kids, so everything is pretty kid friendly as well. This week's menu (I'm almost 8 weeks out):

Mon: French dip sandwiches, cut up veggies and new potatoes. I had two slices of deli roast beef rolled up with two thin slices of provolone and dipped them in a little of the au jus

Tue: Pasta with marinara and meatballs. I'll have a few of the meatballs in the sauce

Wed: Shoyu (basically a sweet soy marinade) chicken with stir fry veggies and rice. I'll have a couple ounces of chicken and a few bites of the veggies

Last week I made an enchilada bake with no tortillas (chicken, Beans, sauce, green onions, spinach, cheese). The kids had blue corn chips and ate their like nachos, where I just topped mine with a little greek yogurt.

I hope that is helpful!

. Your enchilada bake without tortillas sounds delish. Thanks for sharing

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
