Hi there. I'm not help - this is my first time facing them too. Only this time it feels different - i don't crave anything, things smell good, and look good, but there is no major want - only to eat things with protein in them. Wonder what the experienced people will say. Thanks for post, will be good to see everyone's answers.

I am 5wks Postop and on Regular Foods. I have already put together my plan for that day. I plan to ENJOY as many TDay Eateries that I am able to eat. For example:
Breakfast:
Protein Shake

Lunch (We usually eat around 2pm)
2oz Turkey
2oz Stuffing(LOVE stuffing so I want to eat at least 2Tbl is I can)

Dinner (Maybe around 7pm)
2oz Turkey or Other Meat we may have
1oz Potatoe Salad
1oz Collar Greens

Late Night (If I am awake and feel a tad bit hunger)
2oz of Sweet Potatoe Pie (I will make it with Splenda)

**Now I will NOT be eating any of the Fried Corn, MacNCheese, Banana Pudding, & Brocolli Casserole...but thats okay....cause the foods I am eating above are my Favorites!!! My suggestion to you is just PickNChoose those Foods that you can eat and ENJOY them! Rachel
