What To Eat



Recommended Posts

Well my pouch is enlarged and so on that note I had to have all the saline taken out of my band for a rest for 2 weeks. I am wondering if anyone who has gone threw this has any good idea's on what to eat. That is without gaining a whole lotta weight. I was 157 now in a matter of 1 1/2 weeks I am 167 and very depressed about that big gain. Also what does everyone eat if you get hungry in between meals thats ok to have. I really am not suppose to eat in between meals per my doctor but I get real hungry sometimes. My days lately have consisted of 1 scrambled egg in the morning, for lunch 1 can tuna light mayo with onions no bread, and dinner well if there is a Protein on the table I will have that or make more tuna or egg salad no bread. I am tring to have Protein and keep it simple so that my pouch will shrink down to regular size so I can get tightened again. So on that note any suggestions.....................................

Thanks,

Cheryl

they wll probably give you some intructions, if your puch is enlarged they usually wnat you to go back to fluids/mushies etc and smal volumes like you did post op- they want you pouch to shrink again, it will not do that if you eat larger amounts- you may feel hungry like you did prefill but it is only short term and is worthit to get things to shrink down so that you can be refilled

      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.
