3 weeks out- quanity of food/liquid consumption.



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I am three weeks out and I am very curious as to how much folks are eating and sinking each day- and how often during the day.

I am three weeks out, I eat package of cream of wheat made with skim milk for Breakfast, a 6 oz greek yogurt for lunch and a scrambled egg and half a banana for dinner. I have 3 cups of sugarfree chocolate milk for Snacks. I have not been good about getting in my Water and am trying to get more today. I also eat cottage cheese and peaches for a meal also. I'd love some new ideas and go to soft foods in one more week.

My doctor told me that as long as it's baby food consistency...i mash the heck out of it! LOL...I also have yogurt. You can add banana and other fruits to the blender and add to your shakes or yogurt. Oh yeah SF popsicals. I hope this helps some.

I drink 2, 17 ounce bottles of Water, 1, 17 ounce Crystal Light strawberry lemonade with two and a half scoops of unflavored Unjury Protein and 2-3 cups of decaffeinated coffee every day. For breakfast I break and extra large egg in a custard cup, break the yoke and put on top of it 1-2 tablespoons of refried Beans. 2 tablespoons of ground pork sausage (It is actually venison sausage that I grilled and then ran through my ninja blender) and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese on top. I microwave it on medium power for three minutes. Usually takes me about an hour to eat all of it. For lunch I am having 3 tablespoons of tuna fish mixed with 3 tablespoons of cream cheese. It's really yummy. Tomorrow I'm going to do one quarter cup of each and see if I can eat that much. For supper I have been having another egg and a half an avocado. The avocado and the egg yolk are about the only fat I've had in my body in weeks. Luckily for us right now we don't have to worry so much about calories since we can hardly eat anything. I was sleeved January 22 and am getting in 55-65 oz fluids and 65-80 G protein daily.

      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.
