Food choices two days into mushies and travelling



Recommended Posts

I will be two days into the mushy stage when I have to go out of town this weekend.

That being said, I have no idea what to eat. I can take Protein Shakes with me, but that should be a supplement at this point I think.

I will also have a birthday party to go to - where they will most likely serve chips and sandwiches and of course birthday cake (not getting close to that one). What would you eat in a situation like that?

I know can go to restaurants and have Soups / refried Beans from taco bell stuff like that - but that seems like slider stuff and that I should be eating something else?

Help?

Recommended mushies on my post op plan are things like refried Beans, mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, creamed Soups, pureed meats, soft boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, fine egg salad, etc. As long as I don't have to chew it I can have it.

He said sliders are welcome in this phase of eating, that when I get back to solids is when I need to be concerned about sliders. This is just another phase in the healing process.

OH! Good to know!

I just don't want to do bad right off the bat, but it just seemed so limited.

Nope, you'll do fine. Don't worry too much about sliders right now and have a good time away. :smile:

      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.
