Potted meat? Deviled ham?



Recommended Posts

I've read some of Shelly's recipes on the egg face site. She said she makes pot toast for her family and takes her portion and puts it in food processor to make it more puréed consistency.

Most likely yes, but from a nutritional stand point, I would stay away from them. Full of sodium, fat and organ meats. For example a can of potted meat has 160 calories, 0 carbs and 11 grams of Proteins, BUT has 840 grams of sodium and 12g of fat, 3.5 of which is saturated fat. There are better choices out there that will give you the nutrition you need, but not the salt and fat.

I looked into the potted meat too but ultimately it is too much fat and not enough Protein for me. But it's personal preference...I'm sure it will be fine for your sleeve, it's just a matter of how well it will fit in your overall nutritional goals.

Thank you! I hadn't noticed the fat or sodium content before!

I started eating this and then started buying beech nut brand baby food meat jars (about 2.5 oz each). You can add your own seasonings and eat it like you would a potted meat product without the added fat, sodium, and preservatives. Sometimes when I want a bit more pizazz I will mix a bit of deviled chicken into the baby food to add flavor.

If you are allowed crackers a couple go well with this purée. It is a standard for my lunch. I tell people it is pâté lol.

      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.
