Thanks for sharing, I think it would be fun to hear what others are having at different stages to give us ideas.

My comment would be that this is rather high in fat (cholesterol). While everyone is different, I would recommend cutting your higher fat protein (sausage & Cheese) in half and replacing that volume with some healthy veggies and fruits. -

Sorry! My last entry was a response to 'Bullwinkle'

Thank you, Lady J, for your response!!

I WAS eating vegetables instead of meats, but when I had my last fill on Tuesday, I was told to eat meats/proteins before anything else, to make a good layer of that, and THEN eat vegetables if I'm still hungry.

That's why I ate the low-fat Boca Burger and low-fat cheese.

Bullwinkle - have you tried to snack on hard boild eggs? I know some people can't do them, and I haven't even tried to yet, but I was going to give it a go for breakfast instead of my usual protein shake. I get hungry within an hour of drinking the shake...

Banded July 27th, 2007. Lost 20lbs!

I always have a Protein shake for breakfast.

kimmom - that is a great idea. i've been wondering what others are eating and trying to get new ideas. i've been eating the same way as you are - i like the ground chicken in a can ( like tuna ) and pureed carrots. also, i make alot of cream soups.
