Suggestions for first day/week of solid foods?



Recommended Posts

I'm four weeks post-op and per my NUT's instructions I can start solid food! I'm starting with dinner tonight. thumbsup2.gif

My surgeon suggested sashimi, which I love, but I won't have access to it tonight.

I'll be near a Safeway and a Walgreens, any suggestions for my first solid food meal?? And in the next couple of days, what are some favorite things you've had success adding in?

Thanks,

Nina

I was able to eat everything and anything....just in much much smaller portions. I remember having chili, lentil Soup, cheese, and sliced ham in the beginning.

Today was my forst day as well. I had Greek yogurt for Breakfast, no sugar added applesauce for mid morning snack, cheese and thin lunch meat for lunch and Beans with cheese with a small amount of avocado for dinner. All measured of course to not go over my surgeon's limit for oz. I had to supplement with a 30g Protein Shake to hit my Protein. Tomorrow I will try a scrambled egg :) just go with things you like. I spent an hour in the grocery store deciding what to get based on how soft, protein and other nutrition content. I got enough for three weeks I think lol

      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.
