Paranoid :( And What Mushy Food Can I Eat?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery july 2nd and is put in a liquid diet for a month.....soo far so great! I lost 7 kilos and always drinking protien and hydrated!

BUT I will be starting mushy food in 4 days and I am worried as I don't want to put on weight.... I am paranoid I feel if I eat I will put back the 7 kilos....:( will I???? Am really nervous ....

Also what mushy food is low fat and filling other than eggs, porridge, cottage cheese and yoghurt? What else can I eat? Any ideas guys?

Thanks :)

Anything that can be put in the blender and pureed can be considered a mushy...I used moist meats mixed with light Mayonnaise ( dark meat chicken, dark meat turkey, tuna, eggs, and shrimp), and fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries, honey dew melon and cantaloupe).

You likely won't be able to reach your daily Protein goal with the Proteins you eat, so during this phase I continued to have 1 Protein shake a day.

Try not to become obsessed with your scale...you may gain a pound. That's just part of the adjustment and healing processes continuing, and normal. Throughout your weight loss journey, you will have a slight fluctuation in your weight; this is normal, can be attributed to many factors, and don't allow it to discourage you.

Congratulations on your progress!

      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.
