Recommended Posts

Tina glad to see your doing well. I also am on pureed foods. anything with a little mashed potatoes with a little gravey is good. This morning I had 2 slices of turkey chewed really well. Went down fine. Not sure if that's really pureed or not . I also took the no sugar cranberry and cut it with Water. down almost 9 pds :) What about you tina?

I am not really not that nervous at this point. are you getting enough Protein? that could be why you don't have enough energy. I make my shakes coffee' date=' a tiny bit of almond milk unsweetened, protien powder and 2 cups of spinach. That is morning and lunch and I put ice in them and have half a shake at a time so I get to have something to drink 6 times a day. Evening I use 10 cal juice with the Protein and spinach or decafe earl grey tea, almond milk and Protein Powder. They are low cal, delish and satisfying. I find for energy the splitting them in half and having some every two hours really help and gets me in the habit for after.[/quote']

Just so I can find this recipe.

      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.
