On mushies... In San Antonio on business for four days! Help!



Recommended Posts

I am on business in one of the best cities to eat in. Because they are all business meetings, Breakfast, lunch and dinner I have to eat with my co workers. Some places are not sleeve friendly :biggrin0:, but I am managing to maintain a fairly healthy diet. This am I had a scrambled egg, lunch chicken breast and a couple of fr fries, dinner 1/4 tortilla Soup and a few bites mashed pot. Any suggestions on eating out during this phase... I'm exactly 4 weeks post op today!

See if you can get your egg poached with some cheese on the side, refried Beans with some sour cream, order a burrito and eat the inside, you can order some of the thicker Soups like broccoli/cheese or potato Soup (it's higher in carbs, but it's a good go to food early on when we eat so little), some can eat shrimp on mushies because it can be chewed down to nothing. I'm drawing a blank on anything else.

If you have any control about where you eat you may be able to do chinese and get tofu, or really soft cooked veggies. Tofu is in loads of Chinese food and is masked well so you get Protein but it wouldn't be yucky. Beef w/broccoli is also not high in carbs and if you could skip the beef portion it might be yummy. Sorry I don't have other ideas. Good luck!

lunch meats, cheese, hard boiled egg, chile relleno, the chicken in a tamale is pretty soft, oatmeal, Soups, the instead of a burrito was a good idea from tifffy, i just had that tonight. i just ate around the tortilla. Chile, ground round. use your imagination. i would try a french dip without the bread :biggrin0:)

      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.
