What Did You Eat At 4 Weeks?



Recommended Posts

This Wednesday I will be 4 weeks. I eat yogurt, the baked ricota dish, very small amounts of chicken, sf pudding/jello, cheese, pureed broccli Soup and I can eat about 1/2 of a scrambled egg. Nothing goes down easy...but I understand this process is slow and things get easier with time. What did everyone else eat at 4 weeks out?

I haven't tried the baked ricotta dish yet I'm sure it's because I don't care for ricotta but is it good? I have been eating tuna, chuck chicken in the can, spinach with Tomato and cuccumber. baked cod with zuccini and squash, and poached salmon. S/F pudding/jello/popsicle, and my Protein drinks, oh and I eat instant cream of wheat for Breakfast mixed with Water

refried Beans with cheese, any kind of Soup, half a scrambled egg and that is about it.but I never really ate much. I just never felt like it...now a days I eat way more..just remember to take it slow and do what your body wants. I personally think drinking is way more important at that time and taking your vits.

How many weeks out are you? The baked ricotra dish is good but not sure you will enjoy it as much if you are not a ricotra fan. The first time I made it, it seemed to thick for me so I added milk last time and it was better. Spinach with cucumber and tomatoes - how do you prepare that? I though fresh veggies was more for 3-4 months? Baked cod sounds great!!! I think ill try that this week :)

I agree. It is hard but it is necessary...at least until you can eat your protein. I HATED Protein Drinks of any kind..as soon as I could eat it..I never drank those horrible things again.

chicken wrapped in bacon with a little soft cheese in the middle, quiche (not the pastry) shrimp in Marie Rose sauce, omelettes, turkey bacon with roast Tomato and pineapple with some melted cheese on top, muller rice, crab sticks, smoked sausage, tuna mayo on cracker bread, laughing cow cheese on Melba toast, chunky Soups, tonight I had home made chicken and sweet corn soup with a little thread egg noodles through it and it was really yum. Home made weight watchers meals such as sweet n sour chicken, coq au vin, stuffed mushrooms, chicken spring rolls, also have had a beef olive but took off the roast beef and just ate the filling, coronation chicken, chicken curry ( no rice though) Hope this gives you some ideas. Just remember to chew everything into a paste and wait 20 secs between mouthfuls. My nut says if you have anything left on your plate after 20 mins then stop eating that's the end of that meal. Xxxx Hope this gives you some ideas. Xxxx

I got a rotisserie chicken & eat 2 oz portion with Fat free ranch or BBQ Sauce topped with cheese for additional Protein. Yum. Bought crab claw meat at costco& can eat up to 3 oz with 1 tbdp light Alfredo. Eggs-scrambled with 1 oz Parmesan (9 grams protein per serving). Tried ham today. I eat lunch meat & tuna a lot.

I will be 4 weeks on Dec 26th and I too am tried of Soups & chili's! Everyone has great tips, but I'm scared to eat solid foods now. I find it difficult to stay hydrated, and focus on Protein Shakes. Feeling kind of frustrated, but I have faith things will get easier!

I'm close to 3 weeks and I'm eating solids don't have a puree machine but i eat very slow and chew all my food which is still sort of weird to me. I never like Protein Shakes so i eat a lot of it in food. You will be surprised how much Protein you can eat in food. Good luck!

I will be 5 weeks out on Tuesday. Even though it gets a little bit boring, I take two 11 oz. shakes (5.5 oz. at a time) from costco, and that gets my 60 grams of Protein in everyday. I also focus on getting in my 64 ounces of fluids. I do it this way, that way anything else I eat is bonus protein. Right now I enjoy raw shrimp with a little lemon, tuna (no bread or crackers of any kind), canned and cooked chicken, and an over easy egg. The best snack I have found is a cheese stick. It's high in protein and only an ounce of food. I stay away from puddings, jellos, and popsicles, as they have no nutrition. I would rather use up that tummy space on foods that will help promote my weight loss. Plus, to me, those are Snacks that make me want more, so I choose to not even go there. Good luck to you!

Am I missing something? All these posts are listing foods that are not even close to the diet I have for four weeks. My diet says full liquids for 8 weeks post-op and some people are talking about meat and stuff. I don't get it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
