Any ideas to take/eat for Memorial Day cookouts?

This will be my first time going to a cookout since my surgery, other than Easter.  Was wondering if there is a good thing to take for me to eat.  I am 2 months out.  My SIL is having brats, dogs and burgers.  Which I think I can eat part of a burger. Since I seem to tolerate that and ground turkey good so far.  All the other foods we kinda have I won't be able to have, baked beans, pasta salad, taco dip, etc.

thanks and have a great holiday weekend!

Try shrimp on a skewer. You should be able to eat a few of those.

I'm taking deviled eggs to the cookout I'm going to.  I was struggling with going to a cook out as most people have not really seen me since  the surgery.  But a reminder that it is not about the food it's about people and being with family and building or rebuilding relationships and now I'm looking forward to it.   Have a great weekend!! 

Eat part of a hamburger with no bun and deviled eggs are a great thing for you to bring.  Just enjoy being with people and try not to focus on the food.  You'll probably only be able to eat a few bites here and there and be done.  It's an adjustment for sure. 

Thanks, I had forgotten about deviled eggs, I will attempt to make them!!  Them and a plain burger no bun, with a little less sugar ketchup will be on the menu for me.

I would think you could eat a little baked beans, unless they have a ton of sugar in them - even if they have some sugar, just a spoonful shouldn't be too bad.  Or you could make some baked beans without a lot of sugar.

I'm not sure what's on your meal plan at this point.  Can you eat salad yet?  What about fruit? Bariatricfood.com has a recipe for cheesy mashed cauliflower that might be good for a cookout.

You could make a Greek yogurt cheesecake dessert to take.  Mix sugar free cheesecake pudding mix and a little splenda with plain Greek yogurt and top it with no sugar added cherry pie filling.  Or you could make protein ice cream.

YOU ARE A GODSEND!  GOTTA TRY SOME OF YOUR RECIPES!  I WAS JUST ZONKED OUT WITH PLAIN; YOU GAVE ME SOME VARIETY THAT I HADN'T THOUGHT OF.  I JUST LOVE THIS SITE...WITH ALL YOU WONDERFUL GALS!  THANKS AGAIN!

Never thought about baked beans, my SIL makes them for every cookout. I can eat iceberg lettuce.  Only have had a little on tacos, since I try to get my protein in first, since I was low in it in my blood work last time.  That mashed cauliflower sounds great and that Greek yogurt too.  How much yogurt do you use for it?  I boiled up some eggs today, we'll see how they peel, if I make deviled eggs, or have egg salad..ha ha. Thanks

That Greek yogurt cheesecake dessert sounds really good, how much yogurt do you mix it with.  I take it you make the pudding and then mix the yogurt in?  Yes, I can eat ice berg lettuce right now and seedless cukes. and I can eat soft fruit with no peels or skins.

I use 32 ounces of plain Greek yogurt and one package of sugar free pudding mix.  No, I don't make the pudding.  I just put the powdered mix in the Greek yogurt and stir it up well.
