What to eat? Pls help!



Recommended Posts

Zucchini, eggplant, avocado, celery, RAW carrots, baked fish, baked chicken, lettauce, raw cabbage, squash, green peppers, non-fat yogurt, milk. That is what I ate for three weeks. Zero shakes. You can make a decent snack out of celery stalks in a dip of plain yogurt with tons of dill and onion in it.

No sugar, fats, potatoes, rice, cooked carrots, misc. tubers, corn, starch, cheese or yogurts with fruit on the bottom.

My preop diet consisted of two Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and a Lean Cuisine for dinner. I didn't start it until 1-1/2 weeks before surgery and lost 10 pounds. It was doable for me and it was nice to have the different Lean Cuisines to pick from--they even have some pizzas!

I have not started my pre op diet yet, I don't start until the 28th, but I was looking it over to be sure to pick up the stuff I needed when I shop over the next two weeks.

4 protien shakes using Unjury, can add one more serving of the "food" items if one shake is prepared with Water rather than skim milk.

Breakfast 1 pkg cream of wheat and 1 protien shakemade with skim milk

Morning snack 1/2 cup sugar free pudding

lunch 1 smooth sugar free yogurt and 1 protien shake with skim milk

afternoon snack 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

dinner 1/2 cup lowfat cream Soup and 1 shake with skim milk

before bed 1 shake with skim milk

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
