Recommended Posts

Hey everyone so im 4 weeks out and my sleeve was having issues with ricotta , yogurt , and some turkey deli meat. If its juicy it was ok but the deli gave us pretty dry kind. I also have an issue with the Protein shakes and I was not consuming as much as I was supposed to . According to my doc i can try ricotta, yogurt, cottage cheese, cheeses ,beans and tofu at this point. So I didnt have a chance to go to store so I ordered tofu from the chinese place and let me tell you it went down great. Tasted delicious and I actually feel like I got some Protein in. I just thought I would share with everyone since my sleeve was being a little tempramental . And for those of you who dont know if you like tofu it really just tastes like whatever sauce you put on it . Oh and weird bc i never liked cool whip but I tried fat free cool whip kept it in the freezer and a little teaspoon is a yummmmo treat and does not bother my sleeve.

Good to know!~ I'm also terrible with Protein. I'm 4 weeks out, too and drank the shake only once.

My doc also told me to eat alot of tofu. I live in Korea so it's really hard to find ricotta or greek yogurt.

:(

      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.
