Sea weed article



Recommended Posts

Interesting. I do love the toasted sesame seaweed as a snack. And I've had the seaweed salad at the local sushi restaurant. My mom always used to promote kelp and seaweed for their iodine content.

I really like seaweed as a post op. it is the first time I have eaten it. There are a few different seaweed preparations I have tried : seaweed wafers, seaweed salad and seaweed topping. My favorite is the seaweed salad and can be found at costco. It makes for a great side vegetable with your 3 oz of lean Protein. The wafers and topping are more for snacking on. They are a little sweet and very "light" in texture and in calories, but high in superfood properties and iodine. Trader joes has a good selection of seaweed snacking food and Costco has seaweed wafers in bulk. I bought a package of seaweed wafers (12 individual packages of different flavors) 3 months ago and I am still only on my 4th package. I guess I do not eat them too often, but they are a very tasty way to get the superfood properties from a food.

Fiddle I've seen the seaweed salad at costco and wondered how it tasted.. I've only had seaweed salad while at local sushi restaurant I really liked it.

It is really good, but do make sure you have the desire to eat it often because it is bulk from costco. More then once, I have had to throw out a 1/2 eaten container because I did not remember to eat it often enough. Overall, I highly recommend it for the tastiness!

      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.
