Post Weight Loss Surgery Menus: A day in my pouch

A day in my pouch is a series of blog posts (I try and post them every few days) to show what a typical daily menu looks like in my post weight loss surgery world...

Breakfast: It was a gray, rainy morning and I was tempted not to go out but it's Farmer's Market morning. I had to get my supplies for the week and I am proudly the Mayor of the market on Foursquare and I have to defend my reign. Glad I did. This was my reward...


I brought them home and made Greek Yogurt and Berry Breakfast Parfaits. I make a few in plastic cups and cover with plastic wrap so I have a quick grab and go breakfast or easy snacks during the week. If there's good stuff like this in the fridge ready and waiting, there is no reason to reach for not so good choices.


I took this one with me when I took off on errands. It actually turned out to be quite a nice day. The sky was beautiful, big dark rain clouds mixed with patches of blue. I was watching for a rainbow. No luck.

Lunch: Got home and made Lentil Lettuce Tacos with leftover Lentil Burgers. Butter Lettuce "shell", reheated Lentil Burger 1/2 per taco, a few sauteed Mushrooms, and a dollop of Greek Yogurt (seasoned with salt, pepper, & oregano). These were so good.


Dinner: Quickie Chicken Parmesan - I nuked those Hillshire Farms Fully Cooked Garlic & Herb Grilled Chicken Breasts. Placed them on a foiled lined baking sheet.


Topped them with a spoon of Marinara, shredded Mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan and Oregano and broiled them till the cheese was all melty and sauce was hot. Super easy, tons of protein and very little cleanup.


I served them with some sliced Cucumber, sprinkle of Oregano, and a dollop of plain Greek Yogurt.

Snacks: Oodles of coffee (with Sugar Free Vanilla Torani Syrup & a splash of Vanilla Soy), some Krave Lemon Garlic Turkey Jerky (love this), and a Celebrate Vitamins Vanilla Cake Batter ENS Protein Shake.
