Trying To Learn A New Way Of Eating Pre Op



Recommended Posts

I have been trying new things that are high in Protein. I actually like Greek yogurt but I'm having a hard time with cottage cheese. I can eat it but i don't enjoy it ( which is fine I'll still eat it for the protein). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prepare cottage cheese to taste a lil better? What protien foods do you eat that is low in volume but high in protien other than the obvious such as meat? Thanks in advance, I know my taste may change but I'm trying to get an idea of mean sources of protien.

Add a little Torani peach Syrup to it. Or choppy he heck out of some canned peaches.

My nutritionist recommended ricotta cheese as an alternative since I'm not a huge cottage cheese fan either.

Sprinkle a little Mrs. Dash in it...It amps the flavor up without unecessary calories.

You can try farmers cheese. I am Russian and We make it at home :). It's yummy and not so strong in flavor.

The most important thing is to learn to eat slowly and small bites. That one takes a while

I had never heard of farmers cheese so I googled it & I'm going to try it, thanks. I have been practicing small bites/sips & chewing forever before I swallow :) hard than it sounds!

I just started putting salsa in my cottage cheese and I really like it. Also try ricotta with some maranara sauce. I eat a ton of shrimp and I make a greek yogurt wasabi sauce which I love on my salmon too. I tend to get most of my Protein from fish and cheese since I dislike meat. Just watch the calories with the cheese.

      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.
