Different kinds of Food

Kiesesassy when can we eat nuts. I feel like if I could chew up some pistachios really really well that would taste so good? I am almost five weeks out. I haven't tried anything like bread or crackers and don't plan too. But I would love some nuts.

I had some cashews the other day. I chewed them to mush (2 1/2 weeks post op) and they were delicious! I could only eat a few, but Yum!

Once and a while I will have a few almonds chewed to nothing. They are good for a quick snack at work I I can't stop. I was released to regular food at 8 weeks including salads. Not going there yet don't have room after the Protein. I will have a few crackers as well with a baby bel or lunch meat. I have mixed feelings about tuna right now. I need to try the low fat/ff mayo.< /p>

I am not really worried about the calories as I maybe eat 1 tablespoon in a week.

I have only been able to tolerate shredded chicken, shrimp and tuna so far and I am 3 months out. I crave salads and love a good 1/4 of a shredded chicken enchilada. I have a hard time getting down a chicken soft taco fresco at Taco Bell I eat more of the pintos and cheese cup and leave more than half of the taco.

I am having a stall currently I believe due to the fact that I started taking the pill again and my body is going a little haywire from it. I am still losing a lot of hair despite the fact I get in 100 grams of Protein a day and 10,000 mcg of Biotin daily as well. I'm getting a little frustrated with the stall and Hair loss. Any suggestions?

Talked to my Nut she said thr is no science behind Biotin regarding if it actually helps :( and it just happens, also my stepdaughter has lost about 100 lbs on her own and her hair has thinned alot!!

As far as Salads she said that we can at 2 month but to get Roman or Spinach cuz they r softer and use Olive Oil or Balsamic as a dressing No cream base to heavy, (just to get 1 or 2 leaves add a lil dressing and see how it makes you feel)

Protein Drinks you can add berries to the drinks just Blend them up For a change.

      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.
