Week 3....what did you eat?



Recommended Posts

At 3 weeks I was doing soft foods and Soups. I couldn't deal with the texture of pureed foods. Cottage cheese or scrambled eggs for Breakfast, Protein smoothies for Snacks, homemade soups/stews for other meals. I would go out for chicken and mashed potatoes (Boston Market), but if something upset my tummy, it was back to Soups. Good restaurants for soft foods include Boston Market, Baker's Square, Panera bread or any place that serves mashed potatoes (Chili's).

Also, learned to love Greek yogurt with sugar-free preserves and Splenda, and sugar-free pudding. Applesauce is good too -- never thought I would eat applesauce as an adult, but I actually like it. What I especially like about these food is the single-serve packs. Portion controlled!

A woman after my own heart, I really don't like to cook, so Panera and Boston Market, etc sound good to me!!

Yeah, I don't really cook either, so I have to be creative. Also, if you have a Whole Foods near you, their prepared hot foods are good. Try the turkey meatballs and mashed potatoes. Watch the Tomato sauce as it upset my tummy early on.

      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.
