How does this food creation of mine sound?



Recommended Posts

I really liked canned corn and canned green peas... so I sometimes make a "salad" of the following ingredients:

canned corn

cottage cheese

ground beef, pan seared with seasonings

mix and serve

the corn can be substituted with canned green peas, also I sometimes combine both peas and corn together.

the beef can also be substituted with canned tuna fish straight from the can, or turkey, etc...

What do you guys think? Looking at the nutritional facts of the ingredients, it seems to be high in Protein, and not all that bad in carbs.

3 weeks out - 30lbs down

It sounds good but I was told to say away from corn. I'm almost six weeks out.

I miss corn so much, but I was told to stay away from it until about the 4th month when I can start eating regular salad again.

The only thing I can think of is they tell us to stay away from certain foods for 6 months becasue they are high in fat or high in sugar or carbs. This hinders weight loss and your first six months are when you will lose the most weight. I think they tell us not to drink for similar reasons. I think my surgeon just gave the sleevers the same book as RNY, Which does not make sence to me becasue we do not dump.

I pretty much got the same nutrition guidelines as the RNYs from my surgeon. I'm hoping, though, at my first month follow-up visit that he clears me for 'real' food sooner than is on my schedule.

I think I can have corn beginning month 3.

      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.
