What are you "eating" Weeks 2-4 post op?



Recommended Posts

I'm 11 days post op, in week 2. I'm eating the following:

Breakfast: 3 tablespoons cream of wheat w/ 1 teaspoon of SF rasberry jam (no seeds)

Breakfast snack: 3 tablespoons cream of mushroom Soup w/ 1 tablespoon of melted shredded cheese (and 1 scoop of Protein powder)

Lunch: 1/2 Pure protein High Protein Bar

lunch snack: Going to eat 3 tablespoons mashed potatoes w/ 1 tablespoon of homemade Tomato sauce I'm using for the family's spaghetti & meatball dinner tonight

Dinner: Working on that / probably cream of broccoli soup w/ 1 scoop of Protein powder

What do you guys have?

What about fluids? What do you guys drink to keep those fluids up? I know we can't / shouldn't eat & drink at the same time, so what keeps you filled up & meeting your daily intake? I'm expected to have 32 oz of Fluid for now. Not quite there yet, unless you count my little 'liquid' meals :)

Week 4 Breakfast: Two Tbs malt-o-meal mixed with milk to make a liquid Mid-morning: Protein shake Lunch: 1/2 cup Strained Light Healthy Choice cream Soup Mid-afternoon: Protein Shake Dinner: 6 oz light greek yogurt eaten over an hour I'm only allowed liquids, LF/SF Yogurt and pudding, or popcycles until Feb. 7.

For fluids, I fit in enough Water or crystal light to add in to the rest of my fluids to 64 oz.

Wow! I'm impressed. I was still on full liquids until day 18. Even at 5 weeks I can't eat even close to that much. I've gotten 55-65 oz. fluids everyday since day 5 and liquids, broths and yogurt go down fine. But for anything more solid like bean Soup, cream of wheat, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, eggs, tuna fish, etc. I can only eat about 2 tablespoons no more than 2 - 3 times a day. I get so stuffed I can't drink for an hour or two even if I was allowed to. I still get most of my Protein from shakes. You are progressing astoundingly well.

      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.
