First Date after VSG...



Recommended Posts

This has happened faster then I thought it would. My Ex-boyfriend called things off because of the surgery. His lose at this point of the game. Tonight Im going out with a guy I have known for several years and he is cool with the surgery. I cant believe Im going out to eat and on a date just 5 weeks out from surgery. The outfit was easy to pick, It's the only one that fits me after dropping 46 pouns.

Do you have any thoughts on what to eat this soon after surgery at a fancy place.

Thanks,

I agree - something small & Protein. I also recommend eating very slowly. And dont have anything too greasy or sugary --- that could ruin your evening. Focus on the conversation & company instead of the food & drink. Have fun!

If you are cleared for all food... Shrimp cocktail, any grilled or broiled fish or chicken should be fine.

Thanks for the ideas. I will try to focus on the conversation instead of my dinner. This is worst then waiting for your prom date to show up. He is driving in 5 hours for the weekend. This should be a fun night.

Thanks again.

Protein, and remember to not ask for any Water or liquids. And absolutely focus on the company rather than the food.

Have Fun!

Thank you all for the help. The date went really well. We had a nice dinner and talked the night away. then we meet up for Breakfast and a new long walk in the morning before he drive back. We are hopping to meet up again in a few weeks.

As for the food stuff. Everything went fine. I didn't over eat. My sleeve does very well with anything down it at this point. No pain, no gas or no issues.

      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.
