Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I am confused....I received a catalog from a bariatric company. I think it was BE. Not sure. I was looking at all the different products and saw that they have a bunch of ready to go meals. I thought that getting a few would be good for in a pinch or if I go to a friend's house. Anyway, Most of them were Pasta based or had rice. I was confused by this. Is pasta something we can/should work back into our eating over time? Granted I HAVE had a teeny weeny bit of Penne Ala Vodka at a party, but can't imagine making it my whole meal....

Just seemed odd that a bariatric catalog would have these items.

I agree it's odd. During the weight loss phase I have eaten very low carb. I plan on introducing "good carbs" when I am maintaining (only 4 pounds to go!). I consider 100% whole wheat Pasta a good carb.

Past is not something we cant have. It is something we shouldnt. no protien/ all carbs. I would think if you want some as a treat,have no more than half a cup. Try and get a little protien in with it. I have had it once a month, in the last 3 months. but proportionatly, It was half Pasta and half shrimp or lobster.

      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.
