So I'm losing interest in food, but luckily will be on solids. What do/did you guys eat during this stage? Breakfast lunch and dinner. I really have been craving salads but sadly can't have them yet[emoji20] Any and all suggestions welcomed!

I ate chicken with salsa or hummus to make it more moist. Meatballs or meatloaf with low sugar tomato sauce. Chili. Also cheese slices, pork loin cooked in a crockpot, turkey with low fat gravy. Yogurt with small fruit pieces. Soft scrambled eggs.

Start with very small pieces and chew very, very well.

I guess solids is such a mystery to me because my surgeons office skips purée food stage, so most of everything you're describing are things I've been eating. I guess I'm just bored with eating it, and am losing interest which leads to me not eating. My NUT doesn't want me to do this because this is how I gained weight with eating a lot once a day and keeping my body in starvation mode. Definitely not trying to back track.

Well, I continued to drink a protein shake for breakfast and lunch, with dinner being either a salad or lean meat on a bed of greens. I did that for almost a year and lost over 100 lbs the first 4 or 5 months and a total of 170 the first year.

That sounds like something I'd want to do, but My NUT wants me to work on getting 5 meals in, maybe I can talk to her about that. Thanks for the input!

I would love to do that too, but I burned myself out on Premier protein drinks, and I have such a low tolerance for the taste of protein powders or any of the pre-made protein drinks that I tend to gag and almost vomit with 99% of them.

Same here, the only one I can tolerate is genepro, and even that is beginning to make me gag. That's why I can't wait to be able to try some protein bars.

Here is a typical day for me. I eat the same thing every day (I'm the kind of person who can do that). I eat 7 times per day, about 2 hours apart (this allows me to get my water in and allow the 30 minutes before eating and the 30 minutes after eating):

Meal 1: 1 scrambled egg with 2 oz chicken breast

Meal 2: 4 oz cottage cheese with 1 T sugar-free strawberry preserves

Meal 3: 1 string cheese, 2 oz salmon, and 5 ParmCrisps

Meal 4: 3 oz chicken breast with 1 oz green beans

Meal 5: 2 oz hamburger steak (90% lean) with 1 oz green beans

Meal 6: 3 oz salmon with 1 oz green beans

Meal 7: 4 oz cottage cheese with 1 T sugar-free strawberry preserves

I do 8-10 ounces of milk with a serving of genepro each morning instead of a shake. It's not too sweet.

Thanks for this! I can definitely work with some of these foods, and at this point I've lost interest in food and don't mind eating the same thing
