hey all!

I'm 9 weeks post op and really wanna change my food up a little bit. I pretty much eat the same stuff everyday. Chicken, fish, protein shakes, veggies, turkey and cheese. What are your favorite recipes or foods now and if you have any pics please post!?

Hi!

I've been eating some of the same stuff too and have been trying to switch it up. As of now my nutritionist told me to stick with dishes that have sauce so that any protein I consume goes down easier.

Here are a few dishes I've been making:

Estofado de Pollo (Chicken Stew): I've been making a Peruvian version of chicken stew. I add potatoes when I make it for my family but you can make it without if you're watching the carbs. I just eat the chicken even though it tastes best with rice. Ive been making it with skinless chicken thighs or breast.

Ceviche Peruano: This is my quick go to! Its just raw cod fish with lime juice (the lime juice "cooks" the cod), a few seasonings, and red onions. Its a super refreshing dish. Im sure you could try the mexican version too.

Pollo al Sillao (Soy Sauce Chicken): Same as the stew I just eat the chicken but I always use skinless chicken thigh for this one instead of breast. The dish contains scallions, bell peppers, soy sauce, ginger and some seasonings. Its really easy to make.

Seco: Not sure how to translate the name in English but this is pretty much a stew lol. Don't be alarmed by the green color, the base of the stew is made of cilantro that's been liquefied in the blender. Its best made with beef or lamb but I've been making it with chicken. I usually eat it with navy beans like in the picture.

Lomo Saltado de Pollo: This is basically a chicken stir fry with onions and tomatoes. Its another one of my quick go to's. Very juicy and delicious. The original is made with fries mixed in but I do it without since I'm also watching carbs and staying away from fried foods.

Here are a few other dishes that I want to try once I'm cleared to eat raw veggies:

• Taco Salad
• Greek Salad with grilled chicken
• Ground chicken lettuce wraps.

If you want the recipe to any of those dishes let me know and Ill post it You can find all the ingredients to them at any supermarket.

Oh and I forgot to mention, I never tried the chicken wraps before but I stumbled on the recipe online from a cook I follow on FB. She even makes a sweet chili sauce for them. Im looking forward to trying it, they look delicious!
