Food question?



Recommended Posts

So Im three weeks out - been trying different solids (doc said ok as long as i chew to the point of puree). Ive been noticing too lately that sometimes Im feeling hungry.

I get in my Protein daily - i get in my Water. Im trying to stay under 800 cals a day for weight loss - ive been snacking on dill pickle spears the last couple of days. I tolerate them fine - and theyre zero cals/carbs. Anyone else snack on them?

Dill spears are what I nom on for when I just want something to eat with no repercussions to my diet.

I'm not sure if you can eat these yet but these look pretty good and have some great stats:

8.2 calories, 0.5 carbs, 1.25 Protein per bite

My tummy doesn't like acid, but if they don't bother you, enjoy!

I thought my sleeve didn't like acid either. I was getting really really mild reflux, more annoying at times than pain.

I got some apple cider vinegar after reading about it on here - and it works. Mild reflux gone.

That fact that I have it in a shot glass, bang it on the table like it's a tequila shot is a whole 'nother issue.

Oh man do those sound delicious... I wonder if they'd bake in a toaster oven?

Can't wait to try these! My 3 yr old and I were enjoying cauliflower crust pizza before my sleeve. Never even thought about making minis! Thanks for sharing!

I am three weeks out also, and I am doing good getting everything I need,but I am starving all the time. I am sure some of its mental, but if I don't eat every three hours, I start throthing and it drives me crazy. I am already eating solids, just not meat. I am afraid I am taking in too many calories

Looking at your ticker you're obviously doing something right! :)

3 weeks out, that's a great lose. Nothing wrong with eating every three hours - I do. I don't get hungry, but I don't like the empty feeling I get either.

I don't really feel physically hungry except for first thing when I wake up. Every other time I have been craving something, it's been head hunger, which (so far) seems easier to fight than before.

      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.
