Here was my diet stuff
I pigged out on everything I coudnt have before the diet, especially dairy.
Breakfast: I hate oatmeal but I did make a batch in the crockpot from a recipe that was on the budget board here. Only used the steel cut oats as they cook better they say. I think I used Silver Palate. Only thing that helped me was putting pure maple syrup on it and pecans. I also cooked it with the apples and cinnamon. Just heated it up when I wanted some more.
I usually just ate a banana.
Lunch - Usually salad with a grilled chicken breast or I alternated that with what Micayla said about the lunch in foil, or I made some stew and used that too. Also did a lid type soup. At the end I was so sick of salad the last few days I think I just had peanut butter and vegetables. You need to mix it up and put it in the refrig, since its natural the oil will seperate etc.
Dinner - Here is where I mixed it up. I always went with color on the plate and not the same stuff etc, so
Meats: Chicken,beef or pork, only fresh
Starches - Basmati rice, I just made a bowl to use during the week
Fresh sweet potatoes, red potatoes, just pulled off the skins after cooking.
No Yolk Egg noodles
Birdseye Steamfresh NON SAUCED vegetables are fine. Alot of store brands use salt, so they are a no go. You must read all labels before purchasing.
Snacks - all nuts, walnut,pecans, and almonds, you can pop popcorn in the microwave in a brown bag. I think es gave me that one from posting here and I bought mini packs of raisins, craisins etc, just to feel like I was special.
Unsalted matzoh, I live in NY, very easy to get here.
By the end of the second week I was tired of cooking 2 seperate meals for my family. I would have my dh and the 3ds eat by themselves in the kitchen. I would usually eat myself before. I didnt want to feel like I was missing out on stuff.
I also bought gingerale in those little bottles, like a "treat" for me and then the sorbet. I think edys brand has raspberry and hagen
das has mango and peach? l also I got martinellis PURE apple juice, expensive.
I didnt cook but if I did some stuff on the lid I would like the homemade aplesauce and banana bread. I know the lid says cocoa powder but I was not allowed to have that, see my drs. own rules etc. Chrstine donated her wacky cake recipe to the lid cookbook so if you can make it thank her!
I made a stew with onions, vegs. etc. That was l lbs. of stew meat, so you have to divide the meat for 4 meals, only 4 ounces each. Some diets will let you have 6 ounces.
I also had to only have distilled water too. sigh.
I made a chicken breast with orange marmalade on top, basmati rice and birdseye steamfresh sugar snap peas, close to chinese as I could get etc.
Mock spaghetti stuff - no yolk egg noodles, a hamburger pattie and onion,tomatoes and peppers. I know some diets say you can have pasta but mine said only very little so I just stuck with the no yolk.
If you are going hypo you might want to cook some stuff now. Ask Micayla, she went that route the lst time. I would makel soup and applesauce now etc. freeze it. My dh is not a cook and I didnt want to ask people from my church because I had them do meals twice for me, once after the tt and then when I had the bowel obstruction before the rai. So I got through it, ptl. You will too, Hang in there. I am sure it seems pretty overwhelming, but its really doable.
As Micayla said, Trader Joes might have stuff, you have to read the labels.
luvmarypoppins!
I will have the RAI in about 4 weeks and depending on how much I will be given, I may just go home or stay 1 night in the hospital. I am not looking forward to the next 4 weeks. 
I've had Hashimoto's for the last six years and been on levoxyl all that time. I have swung from hyper to hypo and back so much so that I feel like a human yo-yo. I hate it!
