Portion size 6 months out...1/2 unwich?



Recommended Posts

I just demolished 1/2 of a Beach Club unwich from Jimmy Johns (no mayo, no onion)) and am a little concerned I was able to eat that much. Before you jump on the no fast food band wagon, I left my lunch on my counter at home, and don't have many options close to me. Should I be concerned I about this portion size 6 months out?

Well, the link you provided doesn't really give information on what is in the sandwich, just the nutritional information, so without knowing that it's hard to say.

At six months out I could eat a whole sandwich WITH bread sometimes, depending what was on it. Dense meats piled high, no. But tuna salad or pimento cheese or Peanut Butter, yes.

You're probably fine. I don't think the Unwich has bread, and you say you ate only half of it.

I could eat a half an unwich at 6 months. It's about 4.5 oz of food.

I think that's fine. I'm able to eat about the same amount. And I feel the unwich was a good choice. I do occasionally eat out, it's a fact of life. Things happen.

You are completely fine and the unwich was a good choice. I've had them before as well; sometimes I can only have half and sometimes I can eat the whole thing and it seems to be pretty much normal. It was at least 6 months post op before I could do that though.

      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.
