I went to my 4 week post-op nutritionist meeting and that went very well. I actually was able to tell her about a blog she didn't know about! She had never heard of The World According to Eggface. For those of you that do not know, Michelle is the author and had gastric bypass (same as me) eight years ago and has had excellent success. She has always loved to cook and posts all of her food and recipes on her blog. She is very detailed- down to the brand of ingredient at times. Naturally I love that! I love knowing what other people are using. The nutritionist was excited to see this blog and wrote down some of the recipes to try herself! She said she would be mentioning it to others patients as well.
New foods I have been able to eat this week: thinly sliced deli turkey, low fat cheese, grilled tilapia, turkey hot dogs (I did have to cut the skin off because it wouldn't digest as easily). I am looking forward to making lentils tomorrow for our Sunday dinner. Tomorrow night will be the first night in a while I have been eating the same thing everyone else in my house will be eating. Exciting!! I will be on this stage of eating for another month or so. My stomach and body still need time to heal. Basically though, I can eat lean meats, cooked veggies, greek yogurt: high protein, low fat foods. When I start cooking more I will be posting some of the things and recipes I find. There is a yummy spaghetti squash turkey bacon breakfast casserole I am wanting to try for easy school breakfasts. Yes....I said school....I start teacher workdays on Monday the 18th and kids come Monday the 25th.
So what do you think? Can you tell a difference? Is there anything you are wanting to know that I am not writing about? Let me know so I can make sure to include it in my weekly posts. :-)
Again, thanks for all the encouragement and support from everyone. I am feeling great!
I can definitely tell in your face!
