Finally Frustrates Enough To Post About It



Recommended Posts

I can eat half cup and have been. I eat pretty much same things: Tomato Soup with melted cheese' date=' refried Beans with melted cheese and cottage cheese. I take almost an hour to eat and have never felt "stuffed" because I have an agreement with myself never to puke ( I HATE PUKING). During this last week I had shredded pork and put it in a blender and that was only a few bites- probabaly closer to your 2 ounces. Maybe it's the type of food?

BTW- my stall broke. I'm down 6 More pounds from the stall and continue to lose :). I have such a long way to go though. My clothes fit so much better. I have to admit that I can't wait until I go down a size. Even that seems unattainable :([/quote']

Justine, glad to hear your stall has broken. Do you eat any fruit, grainy bread, Pasta, rice, fats like oliive oil, nuts, avocado or vege? Variety is good and will give you energy and nutrition. Maybe start adding one new thing each day???

Thank you. No I don't eat any of that because I'm still on soft foods. I do get some fats in- sour cream once in awhile. Right now my dad gave me a squash from his garden and as a kid I always said i hated it when in fact i never tried it. So it's in the oven win butter and homemade

Maple Syrup. I probabaly will hate it. I'm picky!

There are lots of soft fruits you can have such as mashed banana, berries etc and why not try porridge as full of fibre and nice and soft. Oat or rice porridge is yummy. Mashed avocado with anything savoury is another way to get fats in. Lots of soft cooked vege including spinach, sweet potato etc should go down. Maybe make a casserole with meat and vege as it all gets soft and yummy.

And don't forget eggs are ok at soft stage....scrambled or poached with soft cooked mushrooms. You may only get in 1/2 cup but yummy and good Protein and nuttition

The smell of eggs can actually cause me to throw up. But thanks :-)

      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.
