Eating Too Much At 5 Weeks Out?



Recommended Posts

I ate 2 hard boiled eggs in 30 minutes today. Is that too much at this point? Are hard boiled eggs a good idea for every day?

Thanks!

Egg whites are great everyday. They are the purest form of Protein you can get.

i could barely fit an egg in at that time, however my doc said that he can only change the width of the sleeve, not the length.....so, everyone is going to be able to fit a different amount. eggs are deffinatly a great sourse of Protein, and it is real protein instead of the fake shake stuff...good luck :)

Protein is protein... no matter what the source. The egg is in it's natural form if that's what you meant.

my nutritionist and many other doctors have told me that when you are eating actual food that contains protein it is better then shakes or vitamins...supplements and other ways of getting in protein.....not dissing Protein Shakes, or other forms, just saying it is better for you to receive the stuff from real foods (according to my nut and doctors)....that being said, it does make it easier to get it in when you have a scoop and measure out how much you are getting.

I like to make protein pancakes with the stuff.....I add 1 egg to pancake mix, then 1 scoop of whey protein (banana flavor) and 1%milk instead of water....then cook the same as regular pancakes.....I can only fit one small size pancake in at a time, however that one pancake has over 20 grams of protein. :)

      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.
