Meals for one



Recommended Posts

I will be 3 weeks post op on Tuesday. I have been on liquids since surgery and can advance to soft solids on Tuesday. That means for Proteins i can have eggs, soft fish and ground meats. My husband is on his own diet and only drinks shakes for dinner. have been trying to wrap my brain around cooking for one. Then it came to me. I remembered seeing an egg pan somewhere and I thought it would be perfect for any portions of eggs or ground meats that I would be making for myself. Here is the link if anyone else is interested. Any one else used the egg pan? And did it help you not over portion your food?

I also got a small turner as well.

You'll probably only eat part of an egg for quite a while. This will be a good time to re-learn something....throw left overs away that aren't good re-heated. Throwing half an egg away was difficult at first, but not now. I threw perfectly good pizza away a month ago. Three pieces of home made that I did NOT want in the frig....so out it went. :) Very liberating!

I thought about getting a little egg pan but it doesn't bother me to use the big fry pan. It would be nicer to wash though!

Anyhooo.....my Surgeons instructions suggested something I really like. When you make food that is more then one or two servings freeze the rest in an ice cube tray. So far I have done this with sauces and gravies. After they are solid, pop them out into a freezer bag, then you aren't wasting most of a jar of spaghetti sauce or whatever.

It really is perfect for one egg! And small amounts of anything you want to cook with easy cleanup :)

I have seen little ramekins used to bake eggs with spinache veggies etc. looked good.

      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.
