Weeks 2-4 Post-op Recipes ?



Recommended Posts

I am due to have my surgery June 3rd :smile2:, and I am trying to get grocery shopping out of the way for a few weeks. I am not sure how soon I'll be feeling well enough to fight the Walmart crowd for groceries. lol. So, I came to this thread for help from yhall experienced bandsters!

I got a menu from my doctor, but it doesnt give a lot of ideas for the mushy pureed foods. Mainly things like: Yogurt (bc i dont drink milk), grits, oatmeal, tuna, meatloaf (all pureed of course). But i can only handle so much of that.

What are some yummy post op recipes that I can try weeks 2 through 4?

PS- I REALLY love chicken and potatoes :thumbup:

Any Ideas I would really appreicate... 3 more days!!! :ohmy:

Check out http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f82/mushies-stage-recipes-17637/index9.html , there are tons there!

I am allowed potatoes and i have made them every which way possible. lol I also am a big chicken eater, but its not really mushy and I could never ever be hungry enough to puree my meats. The idea of it just sounds gross. But I did buy some ground chicken. Its on the softer side. I chew it till its mushed in my mouth, It might not be allowed but its actually really soft!

My nutritionist from my surgeon's office suggested crock pot chicken which I LOVE. I also added some chicken broth that was just sitting in frig from pre op diet. Even my husband loved it and it went down very well. Oh and I used skinless boneless thighs....

Also, I'm a huge cottage cheese fan and tuna fan...and there are tuna envelopes that are perfect to put in purse. Hope this helps! :-)

Mmm... I took a pound of ground turkey browned it in a pan with some chopped onion... added a can of fat free refried Beans and some salsa and taco seasoning. It was delicious!

I also used the can of refried Beans and added a can of black beans with a little chicken broth to make a Soup. After the black beans simmered in the Soup I mashed them a bit. I added some hot salsa to that, too.

Another thing I did was ... I took part skim ricotta cheese. Topped with with some marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese and put it over some well done spaghetti squash. Oh.. so satisfying. Or julienne some yellow and green squash into long ribbons and saute' that and put the ricotta/marinara mixture over that.

I also took a pound of super lump crabmeat. .. added 4 tablespoons of low fat mayo, a splash of worchestershire. .. and an egg and dry mustard... maybe a little chopped roasted red pepper.... and put it all in a baking dish and bake for 1/2 hour. Mmm... it's soft and delicious. That will hold you for about 4 or 5 meals.

      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.
