4wks today! Anybody eating



Recommended Posts

Is my dr that conservative or what? I will still be on liquids at 4 weeks. He requires 4 wks of liquids, then 1 of mushy then regular. I think I just may starve for 4 weeks...

I could have crackers @ 4 weeks. I stuck to 6 crackers with some tuna over having bread. I had tried the deli thin flat style rolls & it felt like small sponges expanding in my stomach, even after being toasted. The crackers felt ok. I make a point of not having them too often though.

I was able to have canned tuna and crackers in week 4. I've had tuna salad on crackers 3-4 times this past week and only had an issue once when I think I ate too quickly. Today (week 5) I get to add thin sliced deli meat, soft Beans, avocado and melons.

Crackers? W/ tuna? Feta? Anything? I've gotten mixed reviews on this

Week 5 & have been eating tuna, egg salad, chicken salad & hummus with Keebler Baked Pita Crackers for a couple of weeks. Did the cracker test first (if dissolves in glass of Water in 30 minutes) & had no problems.

      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.
