1st trip to the beach since surgery....



Recommended Posts

I am usually looking forward to a trip away from the house especially when it is a trip to the beach (minus getting into a suit....lol)

I am clueless as what to bring to the beach to eat & snack on.........I know plenty of fluids but anyone have any suggestions for beach friendly foods?

I was put on stage 3 today - soft mood so I am out of the pureed phase but the food seems almost similiar.......

Any ideas would be great!

As always thanks for posting!

I'm posting on here because I want to see what some of the options are. I never would even step foot on a beach and now I'm venturing out of my comfort zone. I didnt even think what I would eat.

I would take a small cooler and have an assortment of Protein rich foods in those 4 oz. glad containers (love them!)

cottage cheese

ricotta cheese w/toriani Syrup (faux cannoli filling ala eggface)

yogurt

greek yogurt w/toriani syrup flavoring

thin sliced deli meats

babybel soft cheeses

hard boiled eggs

tuna or chicken salad

and of course plenty of fluids!!! i'd say double what you might normally drink in that timeframe, you don't want to get dehydrated sitting on the beach :)

have fun!!!

      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.
