Back To Work And Lunch/nsv



Recommended Posts

This is my first time back to work and ordering with everyone. I felt really good being able to join in and not feel like I am so restricted. I just chose healthy and ate a small portion. We can get back to normal. This was a huge salad. I will be 7 weeks tomorrow.

This is what I ordered Grilled Chick salad w/ff feta

This is what I ate from that. It took 35 min to eat.

Wow you did good. I would be lucky to get down one chicken strip. I wonder if I should be worried. I'm 5 months out!

It's so funny - I miss salads so much. I never thought I'ld say that, but here I am! Congrats. on your first meal out-it looks like you were mindful if what to order and stopped eating when you were full-perfect! Keep up the good work!

It was only 1strip I cut it really small and took my time. Once I heard the gurgling I stopped eating. Now I put my timer for 45min so I can drink. I'm finding it easier at work than at home.

Holly- me too! after surgery salad became my craving. Before surgery I didn't even want a salad. It's weird the changes this brings.

Definitely a good food choice! I'm glad most places offer a grilled chicken salad now days.

I think if I slowed down my eating I could get more in...

I still have things to work on

      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.
