Just Got My Staples Out! Reccomendations?



Recommended Posts

Well, I just got my staples out and I'm down 25 pounds since pre-op diet..so 3 weeks ago! I'm stoked. I got all my lab work back and not a single note was off. The dr. was thrilled to tell me that every level, every test, everything was perfect. I'm just plan old overweight! NOT FOR LONG THOUGH! Anyways, I'm now into full liquids. Any good Soups anyone can reccomend, or shakes that taste good and go down easy? Thanks so much!

Soup - do you live near a Granite City? They have a beer & cheese Soup that's killer. :)

As for what you can get anywhere - all Soups kinda taste the same to me. But you can whiz it all up into a full liquid. Lots of people enjoy bean & bacon. I did some cream of onion. I made a fish chowder with cod, whizzed it up (not hard because the fish pretty much boils into non-existence) and froze it out into portions. Whatever soup you like, you can make fit into a full liquid.< /p>

I've said this before, but here's what you don't do: go buy a Chipotle bol and whiz it up because your logic tells you that it will taste the same as chewing it!

shakes are really a personal thing. MOst people, over time, find "their" shake. I can tell you what I think is the best, and the next person can tell you it's nasty. So probably if you haven't foind one you like at this point, I'd suggest going to the generic store like Target or Walmart and buying whatever in on their shelf, because whatever it is - it has enough mass market/generac appeal to be stockable. If nothing else, that's a starting point.

^ of those generic market appeal ones, I think the EAS Carb Advantedge ones in "Strawberry" or "strawberry cream" or whatever it is are the best, but they blow if they get room temperature. Get them really, really cold.

I edited 7 tupos and then decided it's just not worth it. Typos are the asking price of my advice. ;)

      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.
