Cherry tomatoes



Recommended Posts

Rediscovered these a few days ago and they are yummy. They are like a little treat almost. We usually buy them from costco, but I found some exotic Mexican variety at TJ yesterday. If you are far enough post op, these little guys are a really good snack.< /p>

I don't know if you're talking about the same thing but our TJ's has a little plastic carton of the assorted heirloom cherry tomatoes, different colors. They are really delicious!

Yes, those are the ones. So good as a snack and good for you.

So if a person were to eat a few of these outside of planned meals, would you consider it grazing? I think it is sort of a negative calorie food as the number of cals will be negated by the effort to eat and digest them. They seem to be "filling" also in that hunger recedes after eating them and I feel a little restriction. Your thoughts?

I would consider it delicious. Because I'm still at that carnivore stage where it seems that all I eat for my meals is meat, I try to work veggies in at non-meat times. I wouldn't get to eat them otherwise. I suppose I've always looked at vegetables (prepared correctly or eaten raw with nothing like butter to up the calories) as a free food that I don't count, no matter when I eat it.

But if you want to get technical, I suppose since it's vegetative matter, it is grazing >: D

Lol!

I agree with the negative calories. Carrots would be the same I think. I think I would eat them as one of my Snacks and then be proud of myself for eating negative calories for a snack rather than the high calorie Snacks I used to eat.

      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.
