I want veggies?



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I'm doing great, but I've started to really crave veggies. I was sleeved on 12/18 and I will still be on mushy food for a few days. With getting in Protein, I haven't been able to get much of the veggies in. How have you handles this?

Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I have been eating some canned asparagus tips every once in a while. They are so mushy there is no problem getting them down and even though I prefer fresh they have helped my craving for veggies.

I've been juicing carrots, kale, cucumber, green apples and all sorts of other blends. It's been a great and easy way to get those nutrients in!

Would you all be interested in a forum where you could discuss vegetarian and vegan options without any pressure? We'd of course have an emphasis on getting in as much B12, Protein, etc. as possible but without the pressure thrown at us to have meat.

I know I felt uncomfortable with my surgeon who always pushed those things or just Beans at me when I couldn't do them.

      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.
