Looking for some words of wisdom



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone -

Yesterday was the beginning of week 2 after having the VSG with Dr. Kelly. This is what I ate today:

- V8 fruit Explosion - Individual can

- Some Water

- 1/2 cup Tomato Soup

- 1/2/ cup brocolli Soup (strained)

- Not quite a half cup of greek yogurt

- Jello

- Not quite 1/2 cup oatmeal with milk like soup

- Some Isopure - which I loath

Am I doing ok here? I am not getting enough Protein - I know that but the Protein I have although soy based and can be made with Water, tastes not the greatest unless I put part of a frozen banana in it.

Can you give me your thoughts on my diet today? Good or not, is welcome.

Thanks SO much :-)

It took me a little while before I found a Protein drink that I liked. I have an Atkins Protein shake every morning and if I feel like I haven't gotten my daily dose so to speak I have another. They are 11oz w/15gm Protein, 2net carbs. When I was 2 weeks out it took me about an hour to finish one. :) Dark chocolate is my favorite!

I love the Premier Nutrition Protein shakes at Sam's Club or costco. They have 30 grams of Protein in 1 shake, low carb and 1 gram of sugar. They taste a lot like the Atkins shakes but have much more protein. To me, they taste like chocolate milk. I usually have 2 a day and that alone gives me 60 grams of protein. Sounds like you are doing great though, keep up the good work.

      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.
