Day 3 Of Solid Foods



Recommended Posts

Today is day 3 of solids, so on my first day of solid food I had eggs, I know this is something that I maybe could have had on soft foods but I'm either scared or nervous of getting too full or throwing up!!! Well today my fam and I were running around and they got hungry I wanted to wait and come home to eat but just as the non lap band needers that they are they want to go out and eat. So they decided on pei Wei and I love me some Asian food so without major hesitation I agreed to take them since they have been hostage to my preop diets and now it's week 4!! So tell me if I messed up please!!! I don't feel I did but let me tell ya what I ordered, got the orange peel chicken and brown rice!! I actually only had about 4 small pieces of chicken off the plate and after chewing for so long I felt full. I also ate a few of the veggies that came with it...... I'm down a total of 42lbs I just want to keep losing and do right!!!!

Sounds like you did great. I myself can not do rice.

Of course the sauces are high in calories but once in a blue moon it is ok. You were smart in chewing so well. If you get on the scale tomorrow and see a slight increase don't freak out. It will be Water. With Asian foods the body retains water.

Don't feel guilty. We did not do this to never enjoy food. Once in a while is not terrible. You ate it. go back to the the other foods now and move on.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
