Food suggestion...Where are the real cooks?!?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so now that I have your attention, I just found a website that I love last Friday. This is great for Moms as the blogger has 2 little girls. It's also great for Sleevers left eating the same things over and over again. Google 'Bariatric Foodie.' The creator Nikki (Nik) has some great recipes and ideas. Although she had Gastric Bypass and not Sleeve, we're all in the same boat. If you're already a subscriber, I hope you have enjoyed her post just as much as I have.

Sounds good, I will check it out. I have been a lifelong home chef/foodie. Never happier than when I am chopping and dicing. I think that's why I don't get bored...I still cook and eat only small ants of what I prepare. Good news....plenty of leftover portions to have at work. I think boredom can lead to binging and making poor choices.

Oh yes, I love BF! I just made her ramekin Protein cheesecake last night! Very good! I halved the recipe and was just thinking about getting the other one out of the fridge. I've mostly tried baked goods from there because I need a low-carb fix for my sweet tooth. The banana nut bread was GREAT! But I'm a novice in the kitchen so some of it is a little too intense for me. lol

      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.
