ideas for visual/psychological adjustment to our new tiny portions



Recommended Posts

That was what I was thinking... maybe I would not focus so much on the size of the food if I had fun making it look cute. haha :)

I too have been using small dessert plates for my meals. I also use the small sizes of tupperware dishes that come in the variety sets and I bought some of the small round disposable plastic bowls (which I don't throw away).

(This link I posted has a good picture but it's for a bulk order. They can be ordered in smaller amounts if you can't find them in the store.)

These are going to be a life saver for me when I go back to work because I'll be able to pack several different meals/snacks in these little containers and fit them all in my work cooler with my drinks. I'm sure I'll get lots of comments on my small little bowls of food, but oh well, who cares!:thumbup1:

      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.
