I saw someone asked about what we were eating on this phase, so I thought I would share. Maybe you can give me ideas too!

Breakfast examples (only 1 of these):

Egg Beaters - just 1/4 cup is all I can handle right now

1/2 package of cream of wheat w/ lactaid low fat milk

lunch (I am almost to the point where I can have 2 of these):

1/4 cup cottage cheese

1/4 cup butternut squash with butter spray

1/4 cup Tuna fish with low fat miracle whip and a touch of celery/onion powder and 1 tsp of pickle juice

1/4 cup Canned chicken with low fat miracle whip

dinner (Again it is 1-2 of these):

1/4 cup Chilean Sea Bass grilled

1/4 cup White Fish

1/4 cup Canned Chicken with Potatoe Soup mixed together with 1/2 can of lactaid milk to almost a "chicken ala King" recipe

1/4 cup butternut squash

1/4 cup Cream of Asparagus soup

Snacks:

1/4 - 1/2 of a snack cup of SF/FF Jello

1/4 - 1/2 of a snack cup of SF/FF pudding

sugar free Popcycle

Sugar Free Fudgcycle

Anyone else have any other ideas? I would love them!

Thank you, That helps a lot. Have you tried refried beans yet?

Unfortunately, I do not like refried beans. I was told to hold off on beans because they cause so much gas. They say the skins can cause problems as well.

I love refried beans and that is a great idea.

My doc said hold off on whole beans, but refried beans are fine. I haven't had any issues with them....

Here are some of the things I have tried:

Refried Beans with a touch of salsa and sprinkle of cheese, yummi! I also have had ricotta cheese with spaghetti sauce (warmed up in the microwave for 1 min). Scrambled eggs with salsa. Yogurt. Mashed potatoes. Baked potato with sour cream.

I am now allowed to add in ground beef, kidney beans, tomatoe sauce and soft cheeses. Of course, what am I planning to eat - CHILI!
