Your Healthy Go-To Food

[mnbsleeve 87]

Like MNB said, I've started going towards healthier, lighter foods but because I don't wanted feel awful and nauseous. I can't tolerate fried food at all anymore and sugar....in very very small quantities. Like MNB said, I'll have up to three very small bites of a dessert and then I'm done, otherwise I know I'll feel awful. And those are the fruity Desserts. I don't even try the over the top decadent ones because I know that one bite and I'm done.

My go-to for a little sweetness is kettlecorn. They have a couple different kinds in the grocery store. Two small handfuls satisfy me, don't overfill my sleeve and don't make me feel bad at all. But after that, I'm satisfied and don't need to eat the whole bag, which is great!

Yes! Just a little sweet seems to go a long way! (Bless this sleeve! )

I loved those salads too, with all the delicious veggies, so now when i want a salad ill save it for dinner. Then ill have a 30 Protein shake or shot for Breakfast, then another for lunch, then pig out on my salad for dinner without worrying i didnt get enough Protein.< /p>

Great idea! Especially if you know you are going out to eat!

Awesome idea! I love my salads and this gives me a way to make sure I can still eat a nice salad! Thanks!

Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. I'm addicted to the stuff now. Also, I always only sort of liked fruit. Now I cannot get enough.

Cottage cheese and Beans pre op I hated, now I love it! Didn't ever think I would either.

chicken is always my go-to. I like beef too, and can tolerate it pretty well, but my sleeve LOVES chicken! I have experimented with lots of different ways to cook it so it doesn't get boring. I got burned out on cottage cheese and greek yogurt after my first couple months post-op so I pretty much don't eat much of either of those anymore.

At the risk of imposing, but given my husband has been so great and helped me so much since I had surgery, I wanted to help him. He entered this St. Paddy's contest on Facebook and he really wants to win the case of guinness. Would any mind going to the link

and selecting the line "So drink up and sing cheers, this we do recommend." For my part, for every sleever that votes, I'll add 2 minutes to my treadmill time!

How far post-op do you have to be to enjoy edamames. I'm on soft foods now. That was my go to snack pre-surgery and I am really excited about reintroducing these back into my diet.
