What Do You Have For Foods And Drinks Daily? I Need Ideas Im Cleared Off For Regular Foods.



Recommended Posts

I drink my Premier Protein shake every morning for breakfast because it packs a whopping 30 g of Protein. I try to eat something small every two hours or so for the rest of the day.

For my mini meals, I eat "cupcake" recipes from emilybites.com. I also buy low sodium ham, I put a wedge of Laughing Cow swiss cheese on the ham, add a sanwich stacker pickle, a dab of mustard, and throw it in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side so it melts the cheese. SO GOOD..low calorie and high in Protein. Greek yogurt. Hard bolied eggs. tuna. I buy roasted chicken and tear it apart. I eat that plain, or add it to a small amount of greens and make a mini ceasar salad. These are just a few.

For drinks, I have a 24 oz insulated cup. I drink ice Water from it all day and make sure I drink three cups a day.

I've had a Protein Shake for breakfast every morning for over 5 years.

lunch is usually leftovers from dinner. If not, I have Greek yogurt, lunch meat and cheese,

sometimes 1/2 sandwich, sometimes salad with chicken mixed in, sometimes some sort of frozen lean cuisine but I don't eat the rice or Pasta .

dinner I make all sorts of stuff. Just regular recipes that my husband likes and I eat smaller portions without the potato or rice, etc. Meatloaf, steak, chicken fajitas, . I love those new cooking cremes with chicken or fish.

What amounts do you eat. I just wonder because I eat 1/2 c of cottage cheese and I'm full but a short time later I'm hungry again

Yes, I'm experiencing that as well. I can only eat about a half cup of anything, but 30-45 min later I'm hungry again. It's bizarre. I'm experience more hunger pain now than I was before surgery.

I think that the first 2 months... there is a lot of change going on. Maybe the body is still producing alot of hunger hormone? I don't know. what I observed is that my hunger decreased even more around 2-3 months post op. I don't know if that is because I finally figured out how to make things work for me or what the deal was.

A couple of ideas - make absolutely sure you are well hydrated. I swear I need more Water now then I ever did!

Also, make absolutely sure you don't have heartburn/acidy stomache/reflux. Even if you feel "ok" sometimes that feels like hunger but it is really mild heartburn. In hindsight, this is one of the problems I had with the band - I was so dang hungry all the time - at least some of it was stomach acid. You know what made it feel better? ice cream. that was not good at all. Since being sleeved I have stayed on top of the hydration and acid and the hunger has been well managed and I no longer crave ice cream or anything like that to comfort or soothe my stomach. I thought it was all in my head - emotional soothing - but I am now so convinced that it was at least 80% physical since a PPI made it go away.

I completely agree! For the first three months I absolutely had to eat every 2 hours. But now that I'm wool into my fourth month, it seems like the ghrelin (sp??) has worked itself out of my system.

I still try to eat every 3 hours or so, mostly just so that I can reach my Protein goal. But I don't feel just starving right after I eat anymore.

And yes, drinkdrinkdrink. Thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger.

      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.
