Sleeved On 5/17...what Else Can I Eat Sooo Sick Of The Protein Shakes!



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on May 3rd. Have been living on chicken nuggets and fish sticks(only 1 or 2 at a time) since week 3. Doctor said if I can stomach it then it was fine. He said the carbs from the breading would help give me some energy. I have always been a die hard no carb person, but I have found I really need some after surgery. I have tried some Jerky too, cut it up small and chew well.

I can't stomach the shakes after surgery for some reason. I tried a few different kinds.

I was sleeved on May 14th and I am eating refried beans; eggs; yogart; canned chicken/tuna puréed; watermelon; cottage cheese; and chili. I chew very well and it's working out just fine. More importantly, now that I have started mushy foods, I think I am taking in less calories than when I was on full-liquids.

Thanks for the suggestions..so far I have tried mashed potatoes,scrambled eggs, soups and today I tried a spoon of ground beef...I tolerated all well.I am only suppose to do full liquids until I see the dr june 6th but I needed more. Hopefully I'm not "harming" my new tummy. Down 20 lbs since 5/17 so ; must not be doing to bad?

Its funny I am 8 weeks out and can eat anything but find eating such a chore I tend to stick to soft foods I have not gotten sick and everything agrees with me but I find if something is too dry like chicken I feel uncomfortable and there is nothing I am really craving so just sticking to ray food

      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.
