What to eat... what to eat...

Day 9 Post Op-

Trying to figure out what to eat has been a little bit of a pain. I try to eat often but it involves so much work that it hardly seems worth it. At my pre-op appointment I was 142 pounds, today I am 134. I'm losing almost a pound a day so I have to find a way to get nutrients. I'm lactose intolerant but have been able to use Lactaid Lactose Free Milk and soy products. Below are a few of the recipes I have tried. All of these are obviously blended until smooth.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake
1.5 cups Chocolate Soy Milk
1 whole banana cut up
2 table spoons peanut butter


Blueberry Banana Boost
1 cup lactose free milk
1/2 cup blueberries
1 whole banana cut up
1 scoop Ruby Reds*

Chicken Noodle Soup
1.5 cups chicken noodle soup
1/2 cup chicken stock

Beef & Vegetable Soup
1 can Progresso Beef and Vegetable soup
1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup water

Peanut Butter and Grahams
2 table spoons peanut butter
3 graham crackers broken up
1 cup lactose free milk

Caffeine and Vitamins
1 serving Pediasure
1 Starbucks Double Shot Espresso

Tropical Shake
1/2 can crushed pineapple
6 ounces mango juice
1 cup lactose free milk

Speghetti-Os
1 can speghetti-o's
1/2 cup V8
(this was disgusting)

Shepard's Pie (my husband made one)
1 cup shepard's pie
1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup water

Blueberry Italian Ice
1 cup lemon italian ice (softened)
1/4 blueberries

*Ruby Reds can be found at Newvitality.com and had loads of good stuff for you in a powder form.
