Ate chicken noodle at 3 weeks



Recommended Posts

I guess it depends on how much you ate. Also, was it from a can or homemade? Homemade would probably have a better nutritional value. I'd say as long as you didn't have a lot, and it didn't hurt, it might be OK. But, I'm no Dr & just learning the ropes with the sleeve myself (day 12 post op).

Enjoy & just be careful!

Noodles are carbs...so really not a good idea...

try a low sodium chicken broth with an egg drop in it...or get Unjury soup

Eat whatever your sleeves allows sometimes you need to just have a cheat meal...... Trust me I've had my share cheat meals and I've lost over 200 pounds

Bet you have a lot of insight into WLS and it's successes....would love to hear more from you!!!!!!!!!!!!

My motto is.. If you think it's bad it probably is. Stay on track and one major goal in your new lifestyle should be to stop making food a feel good source.

Good luck ;)

No, PLEASE don't eat whatever your sleeve allows. That's defeats the whole point of losing the weight. At some point we will be able to tolerate chips, Cookies and sodas but that don't mean we should eat them or else why have the surgery. Pasta is carbs and you definitely want to watch/count those BUT occasionally it probably won't hurt. The surgery is a tool ONLY that allows us to make better eating decision by removing those hunger pains that so often lead us to making that "fast food" run, etc., and by severely limiting out intake ability but we have to still consider EVERYTHING that we put in our mouths MAYBE EVEN MORESO THAN BEFORE THE SURGERY! Again, I knew someone that realized that she could eat Gummy worms and she ate and ate and ate them and only lost 40 total pounds and then gained back over 50 and it hasn't even been 2 years yet.

Aaron.. I believe you're one of the few exception to the norm of us WLS people. You're not only a guy, but you're a young guy and things are going to work a whole lot different for you than most everyone here. Cheating doesn't work well if we want to change for the better lifestyle we desire. Most of us have to change completely or this WLS will fail just like all the other things we tried. I refuse to fail so I take cheating very seriously and make myself work hard to remain the person I've made myself into because of VGS

I ate about 4oz. It was homemade and mainly broth. I was feeling very sick and it made me feel so much better.

      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.
