Post Operation Menus? I Need Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had my lapband placed on May 29 and my first fill on July 19. I'm having trouble with the food I'm supposed to eat and I'm wondering if anyone has any post-fill menus they'd be willing to share. I'm terrible at making up menus, but I'm good at following them. :)

Thanks, Mary

Can you explain the food troubles you're having so we have a better idea of what you need?

glad I found this: I too have trouble. I was banded June 13th, I can't eat chicken. Getting bored with or tired of Tilapia, can't eat eggs of course I got stuck on eggs yesterday and posted so many of you responded that was common, thanks for letting me know and also dehydration is common factor of stuck. But would like recipes too. thx

I like to buy turkey meatballs. I get them at Walmart or target but I'm sure other places have them. I eat them plane and just cut them up into small pieces. I also found turkey sausage patties that I eat for Breakfast. Taste just like regular sausage to me but it's healthier and turkey.

I am not yet banded however I have seen on here and my nutrition class a good choice is fat free refried Beans with fat free cheese.....probably not something you would want everyday but could be good now and then!

      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.
