What Were You Eating And How Much? I Need Help



Recommended Posts

Hello Guys,

I'm 3 weeks yesterday and on pureed/blended foods. I am lost. I was cleared to have some at 2 weeks out because I was not able to get my drinks in, so he told me to try it. It worked ok but now I feel like I'm empty all the time. Here is my routine:

Wake up 5-Pepcid

11 oz of Protein by 11 (30 gr)

2oz of tuna blended or egg salad blended by 1 (takes about 30 min or more)

11 oz of protein by 4ish (30 gr)

2 oz of tuna blended or egg salad blended by 6 ish (takes about 30 min or more)

8 oz of protein by 9ish (15 gr)

And I getting about 45-50 oz of Water a day.

Should I up the 2oz or am i just missing something. I does not feel like acid, and its not like hard hunger pains, its just empty. I am very tired because he above is only about 400-500 calories a day and I'm walking several miles a day (3-4).

Help!!!

Myabe you need a few carbs? not sure what your diet is allowed at that stage since every doc is different, but when i have too low carbs i feel empty and lightheaded. on the puree stage i would have some potatoe Soup just a few oz every few days. made me feel better.

Lack of carbs very possible I was a diabetic before the sleeve and they told me to get at least 50gm of carbs because It was easier for me to go into a ketosis metabolic state the nut. said to use juice 1/2 strength mix with Water I kept that by me all time to get in my water and carbs and I felt like I was getting a treat. Good luck in a couple more weeks it will feel like a walk in the park!

Good thought because I'm getting less than 19 every day and less than 10 sugars. I'll try a little potato Soup it's on my list just not my fav. Thanks Guys.

      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.
