Tried my first "bariatric" recipe...outside of making shakes...



Recommended Posts

My doctor's office had a ChefDave.org recipe out called "Smooth Albacore tuna Spread." Tried it last night. pureed 7 oz albacore tuna, 1 tsp hot sauce, 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup light mayo, 1/4 cup light sour cream, 2 Tbsp fresh dill and 1 tsp garlic, minced. This makes SIX two-tablespoon servings. 8 g. Protein, 90 cal. The only thing I will do differently next time is omit the garlic. It's a little much for my stomach right now. I was skeptical that 2 Tbsps of tuna would be "satisfying," but it was.

Well, I am only in week 3, but with differences in physician instructions, I am probably one of the few people in this forum who can eat this at week 3.

Well, I am also notably the one who hasn't lost much weight. Coincidence?

At week three, I can move to "smooth" foods. Is that what you are doing?

My doctor calls the food "soft," but chef Dave calls this recipe "smooth.". Not sure if it's the same, but it seems similar.

      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.
