What Are You Guying Eating At 2 Months



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 months out on June 27. I'm running out if ideas of what to eat next. Do u guys have a website or something that I can refer to as far as what to eat at what stage? For example when can I eat peanuts, lettuce, etc. All I've been eating us like Beans, lentils, baby shrimps n I've tried imitation crab with clamato. Any ideas would help. Thanks

Eat yogurts, sf pudding, sf jellos, Soups, go to emilybites and check out her lasagna cupcakes, etc. She has some really tasty stuff you can use for your self. My family loves them too. ;)

At two months out, I can have whatever I want. In fact, tonight I made steak for fathers day and ate about 3 oz of it. Its the first red meat I have had since surgery. No problems here.

Really steak? I thought that's was til like 3 months. Thanks for tips. I make lots of food for my daughter n niece like hot dogs but I miss it myself. All I have is juices, n Protein Shakes and it can get boring.

ANYTHING I WANT. Much smaller amounts, and healthier ingredients when I can.... but I am a food lover and I will always be. I enjoy variation and quality not quantity. Open yourself up a bit.... you have to live with this sleeve for the rest of your life. If you get too tired of the mundane you may find yourself rebelling in a very bad way later. That's just my rational. Try the healthier versions of foods you loved before.

Im 3 months out and I can eat anthing. I eat every 2 hours. So I could eat a whole stake thruout the day. Then eat a fish the next day and a whole chicken breast the next. I also eat yoplait greek yogurt and drink Water with a wedge of yellow lemon. pretzels for salty treats and sugar free chocolate for sweets. Just concentrat on your Protein and Water intake.

I'm almost 2 months out and I eat pretty good variety. I always focus on Protein first, but I still stay away from beef. They told me for one year, but I might try it out by 6 months!!

I am loving turkey. They have ground turkey already seasoned for tacos!!

Yum

I'm irritated that my diet is so restrictive, but many others have the green light for so many foods my NUT says are off limits! What gives?

Almost 2 months and realised that I can eat almost anything.

Noticed that I had a pre-op habit of drinking Water while eating, and also noticed that I am unable to eat and drink at the same time post-op.

I just get heartburn and heaps of acid reflux (not sure if their the same thing) if I were to eat and drink together. Actually I also get acid reflux even when I'm not eating... but that's a separate issue all together.

So ... as long as I remind myself not to drink while I eat .... almost anything goes down well.... just in smaller portions. Also learnt to put my utensils down while chewing, cos it takes longer to chew now... and hold the utensils makes me wanna put more food in my mouth. Once I'm done, I take small sips of Water. Water after the meal still produces the bloated feeling, but it's a habit I'm trying to break or at least cut down.

it all really depends on your pre op and how your surgeon performed your surgery. what does your suture line require. Some suture lines are stronger than others therefore diets vary.

      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.
