What Dish To Take To A Christmas Party



Recommended Posts

I have to go to a family Christmas gathering on December 15th. I will be one day shy of 4 weeks post op. Not everyone at the party knows what type of surgery I had (the know I had stomach surgery and that I am on drastic food restrictions). Question is this is a pot luck type party. Any suggestion of something I could take that I could eat and others would want to eat as well? The hardest par is going to be not having a glass of wine!

Are you allowed pudding during this time? If so you could make the following dessert:

Cool Whip Pudding

Introduction

It comes out sort of like mousse!

Minutes to Prepare: 5

Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

Any Flavor - 4 serving size - sugar free Fat Free Jell-O pudding

8 oz Container of Cool Whip Free

1 - Cup of FF Milk (or HEB mootopia) which has Protein



Directions

Beat with electric beater for 2 minutes. Put in the refrigerator for at least two hours. I put mine in individual 1/2 cup serving containers that come with lids so I can take them in my lunch for work. Keeps well for a week; I am thinking about trying to freeze some too. :)

Number of Servings: 8

      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.
