On My Way... But I Still Need Structure....



Recommended Posts

Okay.... I made it through the puree stage.. and the soft food stage.. and my doc wants me to eat high Protein now.. okay I am fine with this however I need structure... I want a plan that I can follow day by day.. I want to know what I am supposed to eat every day instead of trying to guess my way around the day. I do not eat anything that I am not supposed to be eating but I know for sure that I am not eating all that I need to. I have had one fill and I am still getting hunger pains 2 hours after eating. Very distressful... I know there is more that I can be doing ... does any one know of any web sites that offer a structured diet plan?? Next step will to see a nutrition, and it is covered under my insurance.. just wanted to try to do this on my own... any suggestions would be greatly welcomed and appreciated!!

Happy Losing to all !!

I ate pretty much the same thing everyday for Breakfast and lunch. I would switch it up every few months. My dinner depends on what I am making for the family.

breakfast- 2 egg whites, 1 oz chedder cheese. or I would do 1/2 oz cheese and have half an OroWheat thin toast with the eggs.

Now I am having a yogurt with 1/2 c Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal with a couple of strawberries chopped up.

Lunch- 2 or 3 ounces lunch meat, 1 oz sliced chedder, veggies and a few grapes.

or canned chicken with 1/2 T mayo and veggies. NOw I have been having some Lean Cuisines.

My dinner just depends. But I usually have 3 ounces Protein, veggies and 1/4 mashed potatoes or a small baked potato.

It has been easy for me because this is what I would have normally ate for the meals before. Except I do miss not having toast for Breakfast now. It is prob the only thing I really miss!

Sometimes eating the same things gets boring but it is easy to plan and I know where I am at caloriewise. I also really like these carmelized onion chicken patties from costco. Add a little teriyaki and it is so good!

Anyways, all this talking about food, I am ready for lunch!

      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.
