Say Cheese and Bologna!



Recommended Posts

I have discovered the Deli counter at Kroger. Have found that some things work and some don't and thought I would share what I have figured out with my band, and hope others will post their experiences as well.

Things that work:

Havarti

Havarti with Dill

Havarti with Jalepeno

ButterKase

Munster

Boars Head Liverworst, Bologna

Thin sliced turkey/ham/beef

Brie (But don't like it)

Blue cheese

Things that don't work:

Chedder

Provalone (Worst Pain Ever)

"Fancy" Bologna with Pistachios (Don't exactly know why this didn't work.)

Want to try more things, but scared to do so, so if you have anything that works well let me know! I like strong flavors so bring it on!

I can eat anything that deli counter throws at me; but my favorites are salami, kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes and triple smoked leg ham.

I only seem to have trouble with cheese when its melted (ie, no way in the world would I try one of those fried mozerella cheese stick things lol), but can do stuff like mac n cheese in small portions, as long as it's creamy.

Okay, that last paragraph got totally off the deli topic lol - sorry.

I can do solid cheese, melt it and I am screwed. I will eat the toppings off of a cold slice of pizza, but if it's hot I'm in PB city. I can do just about any cheese, sharp chedder being my fave. I also love blue cheese. Naturally soft cheese (brie and cream cheese) are fine for me too. I don't eat pork so I'm limited with deli choices. I have a good dinner idea though. I take thin sliced turkey or beef and add it to a jar of turkey or beef gravy, heat through and serve with mashed potatos. That is a favorite with my family. You can also take thicker sliced turkey and roll some stuffing in it, cigar sized, top with gravy and bake for about 25 mins at 350. ~Mandy

      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.
