Any Ideas Of What You Guys Are Eating At 1 Month After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm 1 month yesterday and I feel like I'm eating too much. Today I tried shrimp cocktail of course only ate 2 shrimps but I did drink the tomatoe juice and avacodos, I just feel that maybe it wad too soon. Have you guys tried anything like this. Then I wonder why I only lost 22 pounds in 6 weeks. No wonder I'm stuck.

Honestly, at one month I was not thinking about solid food and at 4 months, I still hate solid meat. I was sticking to the pre-op diet because hard solid foods did not feel good going down. I also wanted to lose the maximum weight possible so I sticked with Soups and lots of protien shakes. I also made sure to exercise for at least one hour per day starting at my 2 week mark. I would recommend to get back to the basics and stay away from the solids for a while if you want to lose more. And don' t forget to crank up the intensity level while working out, you should be breathless and dripping with sweat.

I had the same thing about one month out. You didn't do anything wrong. Avocado is a good fat and shrimp is a perfect Protein. 22 pounds in 6 weeks is great. Keep rocking your sleeve!

      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.
