2 1/2 week post op indulge - crab



Recommended Posts

I want to begin by telling all of you how much these posts mean to me. I read about you day and night applauding your progress and courage- thank you!

I have just now figured out HOW to post myself lol!

I was sleeved on July 11 th n doing great.

I was experimenting w Soups to purée and made a great one that you guys may like. Recipe below. But after reading nut value of the tofu with amount digested I wanted to up the Protein level so I added a couple of Lumps of crab meat to my 1/3 cup Soup .

Questions: am I too early for crab? Will I leak ? I tried chewing well( needed something to chew!)

Am I eating too much and stretching ? Last night I felt I pigged out on almost half cup cause it was so good!

Thanks for your input !

Recipe ( didn't really measure)

Sautéed bunch of leeks, onion, garlic with olive oil. Added bout three cups veggie broth . Bag of California style veggies( carrot, broccoli, cauliflower ) frozen. Simmered down soft .

Blended can of evaporated low fat milk with package of soft silken tofu. Set aside n blended soup to purée and then added creamy tofu mixture. N added soft different seasoning sea salt n pepper etc.

It is awesome but tastes too good to be low fat n feeling like I ate much n too early to digest soft crab.

Please help

I don't know about your doctor, but mine had me on soft foods at one week. It doesn't sound as though the crab is a problem, because that is considered a soft food. If you were uncomfortable, maybe it was the amount of Soup you ate.

Thank you. Your probably right 1/2 cup is quite a bit. I have always been a fast eater. I was eating slower today n couldn't eat half of that. My doc stated only egg or two tablespoon of cottage cheese week three. I hate cottage cheese n very weary of protons drinks.

      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.
