Now that I am able to eat normal foods does anyone have any food recipes or tips I can use on nutrition? Old habits are hard to break. I really dnt know how to eat healthy or what to look for.

    Since it sounds like you are still just a month or two post surgery, you still need to work on lean protein first. Chicken, turkey, lean beef (98 or 93%), and pork are all good options. After that go for veggies - fresh if possible, if not then frozen.

    I don't suggest pan-frying anything in tons of oil. Some is okay, but you'll be better of roasting, grilling, or using a slow cooker on your meat. Less fat from oil that way.

    This is a great time of year to start eating healthier as farmers markets are open. I highly suggest you take advantage of one if you live near one. Fresh greens, asparagus and strawberries should be in season.

    Two websites that my wife and I love are Iowa Girl Eats, and Skinnytaste. We use at least one of their recipes weekly.

    Grill a steak. Tons of protein, and keeps you satisfied for half the day.
