Special K Diet?



Recommended Posts

I don't know much but it does have a lot of sugars and carbs. To break the meat and Beans only I found Special K Protein Cereal the carbs r not the best but has 10 grams of protein and keeps me full with fat free milk and today a1/4 of a banana. For some reason on the weekends I tend to be hungrier more perhaps to much down time

The knowledge I have received is that all the Special K products are not healthy. Very high in sugar with little nutritional value. This is according to my Bariatric NUT.

Ok. That's what I thought. I'm back to work and the past month has been very difficult with my weight lost. I'm not loosing as much as before. So I wanted to do something like it. My schedule isn't always the same so my eating patterns doesn't allow me to have that Breakfast lunch dinner like I should. Or like when I was home.

Ok that's what I thought. Ever since I went bk to work I haven't been able to eat the right way (breakfast lunch dinner) due to different schedule everyday so I was looking for something like it. Any ideas?

What kind of surgery did you have? I know the recommendation for the sleeve is Protein first, then veg/fruit, then carbs. My schedule is kind of insane also, and while I'm still pre-op, I've been getting by by keeping pre-portioned servings of Protein Shakes with me. A couple of times I've picked up ready-made shakes on the go. My NUT also recommended sort of packing a whole day's worth of meals/nutrition goals, then eating on that as time allows. She said the planning/portioning in advance makes this more like thoughtful snacking and less like grazing, and if I pack all of my daily protein/reduced carbs, etc., I'll be guaranteed to meet my numbers. Bento boxes are great for something like this.

I had the sleeve on 10/07 n I was doing great at first but as a pharmacy tech my schedule got a little hectic and now they have this whole new rule that we can't keep our drinks near us which is what's throwing me off. Before I had it near me so it was a constant reminder kinda like in your face kinda thing now I go hours and not sip on anything cus we are so busy with flu, colds, and every one being sick.

      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.
