What were your favorite first "solid" foods?

[Dub 9,922]

And see the stuff @@Dub is posting? THAT'S how post WLS peeps should eat.

Thanks.

These are all pics of stuff I've grilled over the past year.

My grilling fun can still be had.....just going to keep it dialed in on good stuff. I will occasionally grill pizza which is freaking insanely tasty. I've got to figure out less carby crust sources. There are some recipes for low carb dough that would make it great......especially if I lay off the calorie dense cheeses and load it with the mushrooms, onions and olives that I really enjoy the most.

That was a delight to look at. What spices do you put on your broccoli? What do you use on veggies broiled in oven?

Spices.

What spices ?

I use a lot of stuff.....depends mainly on what the entree is....there are Oriental, Tex-Mex, seafoodish and other directions I'll go in.

For a straightforward all purpose rub this stuff is outstanding. Simply spray your vegetables with olive oil and dust lightly with this:

I love to add either of these to omelettes. Killer flavors....especially with jalapeño & shrooms.

Also great in eggs, on vegetables and in soup:

This is great on grilled chicken:

Yeah, girl. I've got a grill that travels somewhere out in the garage. I may show up wearing a bedsheets 'cause I truly have divested myself of most of my clothes.

I gotta be back by 6:45 am Tuesday, though. You see, I have this rather important surgical appointment to keep.

Dub...Stop, I can't take anymore pics. I want some of those wings right now, dammit!

I want some, too.

Bad.

Instead, I just had a serving of unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein.....with some Mrs Dash.

It's the first I've tried of this. Truly exceptional. I feel like I now have a secret weapon to survive the liquid phase of things.

Excellent product.

Dang..Someone here is a master barbecue chef. We should enter you into a BBQ cooking competition. Summer has been great for outdoor cooking. I'm going to miss it in the winter. I give it up people that BBQ year round...Too cold for me.

@@Babbs Ive just been so hungry lately, carbs is just so easy. Whether it be Pasta, potatoes or Beans. My dr. suggested cream of wheat once I started mushy foods. I get my necessary Proteins from eating and Isopure shakes. When do you think I can eat a little bit of brown rice? I havent had any problems chewing, swallowing or keeping things down. I feel like I can eat anything. I can finally start on salads tomorrow. It says not to eat shrimp until the following week but I snuck a few in when I ate Pho 2 weeks ago. However, I noticed I put on 2 lbs when I was eating the pasta from ramen noodles, pho, etc. Your input would be grately appreciated.

[Babbs 14,680]

Yeah, you need to stay away from the Pasta and rice and concentrate on lean meats, legumes, seafood and veggies. Pasta and rice are not giving you any nutritional value at this stage with as little room you have in your tummy.

Refried Beans, black Beans, eggs, chicken, shrimp, crab, fish and tuna are good examples of protien sources you can try as soon as you are cleared to. Those will keep you fuller longer, too. All that pasta and stuff doesn't keep you satiated like dense protien will.
