Frustrated With The Foods I Can Eat....



Recommended Posts

My surgery was June 29, 2012...

My doctor said I could eat chicken and fish...

my foods consist of baked chicken,broil flounder, chilli, mashed pototoes, baked Beans, fat free pudding, carrotts and well thats about it...

I did have a hamburger cooked on the george foreman grill the size of a half-dollar...

Im a picky eater and I'm about to go nuts.... sigh...

Help!!!!!

I'm only 5 days out from surgery, so your food list looks YUMMY to me. :) Hang in there...before you know it, your list will be expanding.

Mine was June 11 and I'm not able to eat all that, I think you should slow down and keep the purée and liquid for 2 more weeks, I eat and I have not problem with what I eat. For you to have a burger I think that's tooooo soon.

Mine was the 28th and I'm able to eat that stuff now also. But it just started Thursday and I was thankful. Maybe you can try changing your chicken up or something.

You could do refried Beans (add a little avocado or salsa or plain greek yogurt). You could also do scrambled eggs.

I made a dish that was chicken breast (you'll have to shred the chicken about halfway through cooking), black Beans, 1/2 cup or so of chicken broth, Rotel tomatoes and some cumin, let it simmer for about an hour and it's really pretty yummy and full of Protein - perfect for the stages you're in.

Have you tried thinly sliced deli meats (turkey breast, chicken, roast beef, etc)? Those are included in my "soft/pureed/ground" stage. Also, there are many different types of fish available frozen (I just got some wicked good "bourbon glazed" salmon at BJs...very tasty, high Protein, and no carbs.), some even come in microwavable steam pouches. Harvestland makes a very tasty turkey burger...3 oz after cooking. Most any canned veggie will be soft enough for you to eat...that gives you green Beans, wax beans, beets, carrots, asparagus...anything non-starchy...as well as canned legumes (black beans, navy beans, etc). I hope you find some additional options to add to your menu!! :)

Wow, you're moving pretty fast. I'm only 6 days out, but the research and being on here all the time, this is the first time I'm seeing someone eat that kind of food so soon. When I get to the puree phase it's supposed to be at least 3 weeks. I'll be scared to mess something up by moving faster than that. But there is a lot of info out there on what sleevers can eat at each phase, so hopefully you find a little more variety.

Be grateful, very grateful, I got sleeved on June 4th....and I just got to soft food today, I was on full liquids for 5 weeks and then purees a week.

I didn't start "soft foods" yet because I was having a difficulty with purees until the last 2 days.

Good luck

Remember everyone's doctor and NUT have different food plans. I'm expected to be full diet at 6 weeks. It'll probably take me to 7, but I'm eating most of those things at 5 weeks.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
