Oh my myyyyyyy dinner was so good!



Recommended Posts

This was dinner tonight. I am at 3 months post op and could only eat a few bites of the salad (none of the apple) and a couple of tiny bites of the cheese broccoli but the lobster was so so good. So if you are on a liquid diet at this point take heart because this is in your future and time flies by!

I can't wait for crab legs YUM

I can't wait for crab legs YUM

Also one of my favorites!! I actually think they are very easy on the sleeve as well. :)

I'm only a couple of days post open, sleeved on 9-11. But I can already handle some foods in small amounts. Lite string cheese, Tomato Soup and things of that ilk. I guess my question is, is this normal?

food tastes great to me but my tastes buds have changed. I don't crave sweets like chocolate anymore. I crave healthy foods like chicken and broccoli. Lately I've started craving fruit. I promise you that I never would have said that before my surgery' date=' which was July 26th. Lol[/quote']

I think this would be the best side effect of the surgery for me. My cravings get the best of me!

At first some things tasted a little stronger and 1 or 2 things I no longer like but for the most part my taste has stayed in place. I to however do not crave sweet things any more either. My body does crave the vegetable like crazy more than anything else. :)

That is my hope to crave veggies and fruit after surgery

Yes, it is normal. All doctors have different post op recovery plans some are more lenient and others very strict. Mine was on the lenient side and he sent me home wanting me to start puree within the week and if that went well to move on the mushy foods etc. He was very adamant that he only wanted me trying one new food at a time. Any way I wan eating tuna and broccoli cheese Soup by week 2. Mind you they were very tiny portions like a couple of bites each and I was done but it was good! I never had any troubles with any of my foods. But you should keepwith your doctors orders. I wish you the best of recoveries!! :)

      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.

      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.
