Would anyone be able to share some of the foods they eat during a day so I can start stocking the pantry!

Thanks!

I just started my puree diet and having a difficult time getting in my Protein. Tonight I opened a can of black Beans drained them and then smashed them as they cooked on the stove. Top it with a lil cheese. It was so good and didn't feel like I was eating baby food.

Let me just add some things I eat

I am 3.5 months out and have been released to eat almost everything except salad and steak.

Eggs, cream of wheat, Greek nonfat yogurt, all kinds of cheese, low sodium lunch meat, potato, avocado, humus, chicken, Pork roast, cooked fresh veggies, sugar free pudding, almond milk, inspire protein, quest protein bars, cauliflower rice, tofu. Almost anything my sleeve will tolerate. My favorite treat is 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein and a sugar free Crush orange packet blended with ice it tastes like an orange dream Popsicle!

3.5 months out here:

My surgeon has emphasized that my meals should be 1/2 cup in volume. Steak, chicken and fish are what he quotes as my best choices.

I use pinterest, they have tons of great ideas!! my favorite is the crab crake!

My recommendation - Protein

dairy case: String cheese, Cottage cheese, Nonfat greek yogurt, laughing cow cheese.

Grocery: Tuna,, Avocado, Jerky,

Deli counter- rTurkey lunch meat, chicken, steak, ham and fish-I get whatever is already cooked in the deli section.

Shrimp -i buy the kits for shrimpcocktail.

Freezer - grilled fish (gortons) , frozen meatballs (turkey or beef)

Hope this helps.

Why Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt has a lot more protein than regular yogurt. In fact, many of the things we think of as yogurt aren't really yogurt and don't even say yogurt on the container (Yoplait Light). Check the label for protein, fat, and sugar and you'll be surprised at the differences.
