Can you eat potatoes on Pre-OP diet ?
texasnewf posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just wondering cause I didn't see it listed that I couldn't in my notes from my doc. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I haven't tried Cream of Wheat since I was young. I guess since that's all we had I was sick of it. They said on my 3 week Post Op diet I could have it but up till now I'd rather hammer a nail into my left toe. Until this morning. I was so bored with Popcicles, jello, broth, flavored water... that I bought some Cream of Wheat at the market. I also bought some grape sugar free jam spread by Smuckers. I added a spoonful into the cream of wheat and it was ok but not great. At this point I glanced in front of me and saw the grape Crystal Light packets and put some of that into it .. and WOW .. what a taste explosion ... it was nice to have something with texture for a change... Give it a try .. sounds weird.. but tastes GREAT ! Try whatever flavor you like .

Yes I guess if we're going to be successful with this we have to embrace BORING .. but it can be done with good food choices and flavors that will make it easier .. I for one can't wait to make some split pea soup .. one of my all time favorites..

Hi everyone, it's 1 week today since I had surgery. Overall I'm down 10 lbs, feeling great, still a little sore getting in and out of bed, putting on socks. The biggest thing I'm dealing with is the liquid diet. BORING !! I have 2 more wks on liquids. Going to be difficult. Chicken broth helps give me some flavorbut I can't wait to get on the puree stage. Just wanted to share with everyone. Hope you all are going ok, good luck !

Hi Brian, Check out this site I just found. https://bariatricbits.com/bariatricnutrition/recipes/ Also, There is a YouTube channel called "timetoshrink" that has some really good recipes. Ricotta Bake, pureed Spinach and Artichoke dip, pureed Egg salad, Sweet Potato Puree, Buffalo chicken Dip Puree, Broccoli cheese Soup Puree, Refried Beans, Cottage cheese, and Mashed Potatoes thinned out with broth or low sodium gravy. - On that channel the Buffalo chicken Dip Puree looks killer good Craig

Yes I've seen her recipies.. I can't wait to try the Buffalo chocken dip and a few more when I'm allowed in a couple weeks.

I'm trying to drink more but it's hard. I only drank about 40oz yesterday but I'm up to 50 so far today and my head feels lightheaded. Any thoughts ? Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Earlier today it was dark but now it's a dark straw color. I managed to get in another 25oz of water to bring me to 70 oz.. the most since surgery...it was getting easier to drink this evening . Especially when I was worried about dehydration... hopefully tomorrow will be better Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app
