Is it possible to live on FF refried beans and blue crabs?



Recommended Posts

I am finding lots of foods my Sleevilla will tolerate but not many that sit there and make everything feel all peaceful and happily satisfied except Beans and crab. Is it humanly possible to just eat these two things? (Not really serious, but kind of.)

What foods make your sleeve happiest? I know my tolerance will grow, but I seem to be stuck in the soft food stage.

I seem very limited right now too. All of a sudden I'm starting to feel nauseous after eater most things. I know it is probably just a phase, but kinda stinks! I should be able to add new foods, but I'm afraid to!

I'm 4 months out and I seem to be on a yogurt and cheese routine. They go down the best for me.

i'm 3 days out..... lol so Water and anything cold (except a popsicle) doesn't sit well. Tea and broth (well actually I hated the broth so I just strained cambells chicken noodle)....that's the stuff. Right now though, honestly? I'm just hoping to be able to eat at all eventually!!!

Have you tried scallops, shrimp or grilled fish? These all go down wonderfully for me. They are a main staple in my diet. I also found sauteed spinach to go easily in the early days. If you have a Whole Foods around you they have some terrific Soups my favorite is the tortilla chicken. If you scoop it right you can get quite a bit of savory moist chicken. I find cheese stick and cubed cheese to be good along with deli meat. Hope this helps! :)

Oh, I do love quiche! I was making those on my soft foods and forgot all about them. Thanks for the reminder. I've not tried ham salad yet, that's a great idea. And what exactly is in spinach souffle? It looks so gross, but I do like spinach. If it has feta in it, even better!

I am so lucky that anything and everything goes down and feels fine. I have tried it all, even rice and Pasta but I also didn't get that much restriction (which I have mixed feelings about- happy I can still enjoy food and unhappy I can still enjoy food!)

Have you tried other types of beans- black Beans or black bean Soup is a fav of mine.

How does tuna fish salad work for you?

I made pan seared scallops for the first time last night and it was yum-tastic! The sautéed spinach kinda scares me, but Hope tol give it a try soon

My little tummy has yet to meet anything she hates. Fish, shrimp, lobster, crab, beef, yogurt, cheese, Beans, chicken, lentils...bring it all! I haven't tried bread, Pasta and sugar but feel pretty sure she'd gobble those up with delight if I let her.

Always did say I had the constitution of an ox....

I feel like everything I eat just sits in my throat for a few minutes then goes down. I'm still eating like only 2 to 3 bites of food then I'm full. I'm going in to my 7th week and hopefully I will start to be able to eat more and drink more so I can loose this weight.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
