Recommended Posts

I find it a point of pride to send my husband with yummy, healthy, food to work for the few months that I am home. This is tomorrows lunch:

Ivy's Protenacious fruit Salad

Submitted by: LADYIVY79

Great lunch, high in Omega 3's.

Minutes to Prepare: 5

Number of Servings: 5

Ingredients

Cottage cheese, 1% Milkfat, 0.5 cup (not packed)

Almonds, 0.25 cup, ground

Walnuts, 0.2 cup, chopped

Grapes, 0.5 cup, seedless

Blackberries, fresh, 0.2 cup

Strawberries, fresh, 0.25 cup, halves

Cinnamon, ground, 0.5 tbsp

**Flax Seed Meal (ground flax), 2 tbsp

Tried something new yesterday so going to make the edit right here. Half a scoop of GNC Unflavored Protein Powder and 3 tblspns greek yogurt really raises the level of Protein, fills it out to 6 servings and is somehow even yummier! I served it to my son last night with a honey graham cracker and a tiny bit of Peanut Butter and he didn't want to share his "dessert"!

Directions

Mix all ingredients.

Serving Size: Five half cup servings

Number of Servings: 5

The big problem is that I am getting him used to me being home to make him this awesome stuff and then I leave for grad school and to his own devices. I am going to have to figure out how to teach him to do this :)

      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.
