Bored With The Same Food...



Recommended Posts

Help! Okay so I have the lactose intolerance since surgery and I'm so bored with the same foods that half the time I don't bother eating. Oh also...I'm super picky. Here's what I eat...egg scrambled. Egg salad, canned chicken breast with Italian dressing, tuna, and pesto chicken with goat cheese and sundried tomatoes. I'm so sick of the same things anyone have suggestions? I go threw spurts where I don't really care what I eat as long as I get Protein, but now I'm going through what I hope is a phase where I want to enjoy what little bit I can eat. :( I'm a few days shy of 7 wks post op.

I put 2-3 chicken breasts in my small crockpot, cover them with salsa and let them go until cooked. Shred them and then store them (fridge for some, freeze the other). Once you heated up your portion, add in some non-fat greek yogurt, a few black Beans, a few kernels of corn and it's a wonderful soft mexican flavored dish.

turkey chili is great.

pork chops baked in low-fat Soup until they are super soft was one of my first soft meats.

don't get bored! That leads to straying from the plan. Play with your food to make it healthy and flavorful.

Why can't you have yogurt or cheese, these are both soft foods. Try putting your meats in the crock pot and cooking: ground chicken, turkey, chicken thighs. Cottage cheese, morningstar farms foods, Boca meatless burgers, fish(all kinds).

I haven't tried shrimp for a few weeks, when I did it didn't go down well. Ill have to try again. I don't do chili, but I'm thinking BBQ Sauce with ground beef I. The crockpot topped with onions. That's how I used to eat burgers minus the bun and cheese. I haven't tried ground beef yet I was too scared. :(

      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.
