Boston Market Sweet Potatoes



Recommended Posts

At this point my only concern is healing properly and having enough calories to provide energy.

Once I'm cleared to eat and work out I'll become more diligent. I'm just trying to survive right now :)

. Yes this is a time to heal.... You should be able to have enery, feel satisfied and lose all while healing. You need to start creating good habits.... I was merely pointing out that particular food was high in calories. I am sure you are following g your drs orders... Best of luck to you. :)

My team said not to worry about carbs and calories in the beggining. You still have to try and choose light and ff items but you can have carbs every now and then.

Amen ! While I am sure everyone has their own advice/opinion , I choose to leave my nutritional guidance to my surgery team, the guy I paid with the PHD ;)

You can also ask them for only the sweet potato part and not the topping which is marshmellow and brown sugar.

While I don't eat white potato very often I think to say you can never eat it again is silly. If I am being super healthy I top a potato with salsa instead of butter and sour cream. Since I normally only eat them at a restaurant (which is very rare) I do add butter since I might as well enjoy it.

I have never been to a Boston Market but now it makes sense why it was so high in calories...the topping and sugar... thanks for that info.

I actually eat white potato several times each week since rice and Pasta arent easy for me to digest for whatever reason. I do limit all starches to 1/4 c whether it be baked, mashed or boiled. And I use butter too. Just a smidge.

      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.
