Tired Of Fish

[granddiva 6]

My sleeve was done on April 16th. I'm now on mushy foods. I can't stomach another piece of fish of any kind. I was thinking of eating some Chili I was told that Wendy's chili is healthy. Should I try it my sleeve is three weeks old?

Maybe the juice and Beans, but I would not do ground beef at 3 weeks out. That's one of the hardest meats to digest.

My program allowed deli meats at 3 weeks out, and soft meats (think canned). Yes, tuna is one of them, but there's also ham, chicken, the "potted meat products" like Underwood stuff, etc. Are you allowed any of that? I'm kind of a food snob, but I love canned Hormel ham with some miracle whip - "ham salad." It's the only form of ham I ever eat, and the only time I ever eat miracle whip. But for some reason I love the two together.

You also don't have to eat meat, if nothing is sounding good or allowed on your plan.

Around 4 weeks I made some fish chowder (cod) and lived on that for a few days, but if you're fished out, that's not much help.

You're probably eating so little that limiting yourself to nothing but purely "healthy" may not be your best option this early on. I'm using reasonably good judgment but I'm catering to my palate at the same time. My doctor supported my reasoning and feels that taking in a reasonable amount of calories should be as important a goal as eating healthy. Don;t get me wrong, I'm not shoving chocolate down my throat at every opportunity (or at all), I'm just eating what I please in greatly reduced quantities. I'm probably not taking in more than 500 calories in food (with another 260 in Protein drinks) daily. Don;t abuse your sleeve, tho, by eating too much or eating foods that are too hard to process.

I was eating it at about 4 weeks out

I do tire of the same foods consistently. So now I mix it up. I do eat alot of chicken. LOL

Thanks guys! I was having a really hard time. I'm trying my best to do the right thing. Don't want to cause any complications.

I can have wendy's chili on puree phase at 2 wks. They just said blend it more. Hope this helps.

WoW. I think, sometimes my surgery was done in the Land of Oz. I'm 5 weeks out and not allowed to have anything that isn't completely blended and pureed to a smooth consistency. And I need to still be eating this way for another 3-4 weeks. Post op weeks 9-13 I'm allowed to add fish, cottage cheese, cheese and Beans.

When I see posts about what people can eat at weeks 2, 3, 4, etc.; it sure makes me want to go against doctor's orders. I can honestly say that I'm sick of Protein drinks, and creamed Soups. But I remind myself that just like we are not here to compare our weight loss to each other to validate (or frustrate) ourselves, what we eat should also not be driven by what other people do or don't eat. Just be careful!

Is it odd that I'm actually eating a Wendy's chili while reading this? No joke! Once you're at the state of tolerating it, Wendy's chili is grand. High in Protein, high in Fiber, and low in fat.

My NUT told me to stay away from wendys chilli because of the high sodium content. A small chilli is almost 1,000 mg of sodium.

I can't keep track of every frikin thing sheesh :-D I will worry about sodium when I get more weight.

Wendy's chili is yum. Full of flavor and Protein. And if I'm really feelin frisky I throw in a cracker hahaha

[Mr_Worm 129]

if you are doing the required Water intake, the sodium will be removed from the body. I've been doing the no carb diet since being sleeved and taking in TONS of sodium. My blood work last week came back fine on sodium levels. This is another reason why water is key. Flushing out the bad!

Stay on track with what your doctor says! It's the safest way to go!
