to walk a mile in the morning and walk a mile in the afternoon on the treadmil? two weeks post op just so you know and i was thinking of walking twice a day every other day

and i cant think of anything to have for breakfast, cream of wheat hurt my stomach today so i dont want that, eggs eh, i dont know what else to have for mushie stage, yogurt doesnt really fill me up, and i really dont know what to have for lunch either, i had an omlet today and it made me full but i dont want that everyday, any suggestions for breakfast and lunch? thanks

I'm still finally on soft foods, so much better.

I usually had a Protein shake made with skim milk and yogurt for breakfast. lunch was usually sugar free pudding with Protein powder. I guess I'm not much help.

have you tried oatmeal? you can add peanut butter and some protein powder to give you some of your protein for the day. Its calorie dense and will keep you fueled for hours. Try cottage cheese with a drizzle of honey, this is my favorite. Cottage cheese has plenty of protein as well. You might want to try the full fat and not the low fat or non fat versions. There is only a 20 calorie differece but you can totally taste it. Did you doctor clear you for fruits I'm guessing you can probrably have a smoothie bananas and strawberries are good together put them in the blender substitute a meal with this.

that sounds good I'll try oatmeal in the morning, I like oatmeal. I'll have cottage cheese for lunch and try some honey in it, I'm aloud to have fruit and a smoothie sounds so good and they made me full before so they'll make me even more full now and the best thing is that we have lots of bananas and strawberries can you give me a recipie of what else to put in it? Thanks (:

ok so I'm like a smothie queen lolz!!

1 banana , a couple of strawberries and fresh squeezed orange juice.

1 banana, fresh pinaple and orange juice are just two of my favorite I actually like to add a handfull of baby spinach it has a ton of phytonutrients that you need and you cant taste it.

You can try different variations with your Protein powder as well

banana Peanut Butter and chocolate protein powder are good

You can doll up your protein powder with vanilla extract, cocoa powder, instant coffee, fruit, berries are in season might want to try that as well. What flavor protein are you using so I can give you some more ideas?

I'm using vanilla (: and thanks!

If you get a chance, check out the nutrition and food sub-forum. There are some great shake recipes and they have threads that are pages long with suggestions for each stage!

oh and the walking sounds perfect.
