Help With Meals 6 Weeks Out



Recommended Posts

I am 6 weeks out, released to eat real food. I do not want to drink Protein Shakes unless I have too. I could use some meal ideas. I understand Protein first, then vegs. I do well with eggs, chili, Beans, chicken, lunch meat, canned fruit, and a little baked potato, But each time I venture outside of this I have awful burping and nausea. tonight I had a couple bites of spagettie- and I still feel sick. Any ideas?

I can't do spicy food and ( I discovered tonight that beef doesn't work). I have read it all along and now I'm going to repeat it. .... Everything gets better with time!

How does fish do for you? Have you tried flounder, haddock or talapia?

Or seafood? How about shrimp, crab or lobster (stay away from oysters and clams -- too tough to chew into small bits at this point, I think).

Piece of ham slice, ground chicken burger or turkey burger. Soups? I am 3 weeks out and trying just about anything that offers a lot of Protein in a small serving.

When do you next see your doctor? I would be letting him know that nausea is a problem. Are you taking anything for stomach acid or maybe you need something for it... hope it gets better for you.

I am 7 wks post op - I eat alot of Halibut, Tilapia, chicken, and eggs. I have tried some recipes from worldaccoringtoeggface - I haven't found anything that I love yet. Eating for me still seems like a chore and I have to remember to eat. I am no hunger at all, which is a good thing!

I am also looking for some ideas - I have a real problem controlling my carbs.

      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.
