Just wondering a few things



Recommended Posts

1. Is the Breakfast biscuit "Belvita" a good nutritional choice ?

2. What is the final verdict on carbonated beverages such as seltzer or mineral Water ?

The best way to know if something is a good food choice is to read the label then decide if it fits into the plan your nutritionist gave you.

As for carbonation, there is no final word on it. Some doctors allow it and others don't. When in doubt, always follow your own doctor's guidelines.

Best wishes.

My nutritionist gave me guidelines.. Protein should be 10% of total Calories... sugar under 5 grams .. also if you track your calories include everything in your total...my doc says no carbonation but some don't have a problem with it.. I drink Water, wyler's peach tea and coffee..

agree with mis and sharp

the carbo rule is what YOUR doctor advised you to do...if you want to know, def ask them...as they are the ones who gave you this tool to use correctly.

the cracker i have never heard of and had to google it..(sorry i must not get out much in the real world) but it seems not be very filling/protein wise..but if you like it go for it. it looks good to me but not as a Protein meal.

anyhow, have a great day

      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.
