Crazy Question About Using Olive Oil



Recommended Posts

If you don't like the taste of olive oil and it is available ask him if you can use grapeseed instead. It has a more neutral flavor and has most if not all the benefits of olive oil.

Oh really, I had no idea!!! I am going to have to look into that! Thanks so much for the help!

Well to be honest' date=' my bowels have been moving really well even before the oil but I am sure it will help even more now! I have IBS so I am assuming that it will help me there too. Who would have known?

Well about taking it in the Soup, I have to add 2 teaspoons full and I really can only still eat about 1/4 cup of soup so I guess I am getting a bunch...eww and I can taste it really strong.

Thanks so much! I feel real good since surgery, Having to deal with changing my thoughts about food and also just struggling with actually eating. When did you have your surgery?[/quote']

I had my surgery on 8/21. I feel good. No problems w food or liquids at all, just kinda tired.

Pinky, same here!!! And i love the Olive oil that costco puts out once a year. In the glass bottle with the harvest date. I use that for salads and stuff. The big kirkland plastic bottle i use for cooking things on low heat. Anything else I use the grapeseed for.

Sorry, OP...we kinda got off track. I bet you can get some wonderful oils where you are.

How are you feeling?

I am feeling great! I haven't really ever even thought of looking at the different types of oils although I guess with this new life/journey, I should. We are fortunate to have LOTS of great fresh fruits and veggies that are so very inexpensive so that is really nice.

      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.
