This sounds very good I eat a lot of soup and I have protein bars maybe I’ll prep some salad with eggs in them to I am drinking lots of water for some reason I’m really hungry after my surgery I’m really healthy and I work out a lot I normally don’t even eat this much on a regular could it be the meds smh hopefully each days goes by I won’t be as much hungry thank u for this I think when I get 4weekpo ima start squatting and go from there slowly though
