Recommended Posts

Going back to work soon and wondering what people brought for breakfast and lunch

I go in very early, no time to eat before. I will still be on pureed. Any suggestions?

Thank you:)

My 1st week back I was eating cream of mushroom and cream of chicken Soup. And a little bit of creamy Peanut Butter. Lately I've been eating re-fried Beans with salsa and a little cheese mixed in.

cream of wheat and thinned oatmeal are great for Breakfast. i also ate the hand Soups from Campbell cream of chicken, broccoli, and chicken and stars...they are less than 200 calories and very filling.

My nutritionist told me absolutely NO Peanut Butter. However, here's what I eat on my pureed diet:

Breakfast

1 scrambled egg

MORNING snack

a few spoonfuls of yogurt

lunch

1 1/2 ounce tuna mixed with light mayo

applesauce

AFTERNOON SNACK

a few nibbles of sliced pears

I teach fourth grade, and as long as I bring an insulated bag with an icepack, everything works great for me!

I had a Protein Shake for Breakfast on the way to work (around 7 am) and brought the 4 oz cottage cheese pack for lunch. I also got Soups at work. Actually, I'm now on soft solids and still do the same thing - I'm loving my shake, and I seem to be addicted to the cottage cheese - totally enjoying it.

I take 1oz containers of Beans, cottage cheese, cream Soups, and packets of cream of wheat. How far post sleeve are you?

I will be three weeks when I go back.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
