Recommended Posts

Smoked turkey leg & collard greens.

If that ain't good eatin' I don't know what is.

Pre-op it would have also had Mac-n-cheese & a couple rolls. And it would have all been 1 meal.

(after lunch & dinner somebodies dog will likely get a bone with about 1/3 of the meat left on it.

Looks yummy. I had one of those turkey legs at Disneyland. Man, they are good.

Just curious ... how much of that will you eat and how long will it take you to eat it?

I love greens, any kind.

O.T.R- I see you with your collard greens. Do the veggies feel good on your tummy? And When did they start feeling good on your tummy or was you always able to eat them after surgery? I was always a veggie eater before surgery, but now they make me feel nauseated like my tummy is doing flips. meats are the only things I can handle, except for BBQ.

I'm still on pureed for another week, but my lunch was still yummy! I had about a 1/4 cup of pulled pork with some broth pureed, and a couple of bites of black-eyed peas pureed.

I ate about 1/4 of the leg & about 1/3 of the greens in about 1/2hr. I'm expecting about the same for dinner. The rest will make somebodies dog very happy

I'll see your turkey leg and greens, and I raise you sirloin skewers and asparagus.

I haven't tried a veggie yet since before prop diet. How do they sit compared to meat with the sleeve. Yeah, meat and cheese are already getting boring.

I was doing softer raw veggies(squash) at about 4weeks. I progressed and got to harder stuff at about 8-10 weeks. Cooked veggies are really a rarity for me. They do cause a bit of gas, but they've always done that.

I love me some greens and vinegar, yum! I can eat veggies, raw or cooked no problem. For lunch I had about 3 oz of steak and some grilled squash.

BTB...I had forgotten about skewers! Whoop-di-do...I'll be adding that to my reportoire!! Love the steak and veggies, but also love cajun spiced shrimp skewers!

OTR...are your routes nationwide or are you traveling in the south? Don't often see smoked turkey legs and greens readily available here in Los Angeles.....My brother drives a big rig from his home base in Dothan, Alabama and he would love that meal and he's not even sleeved.

      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.
