What kind of foods are you eating?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering what kind of foods/meals are you eating if you six weeks or more post op? I am going on seven weeks post op and have craving for Chinese/Thai food. Specially Yellow chicken Curry and Veggies, Pad Thai or Fried Rice. Aren't these all bad choices? Help what would you choose/do if you were me? What can we eat off these types of food menu? Help.

Don't suffer. Order it, you'll take 2-3 bites, and you're done. Craving satisfied. No stress. Put the rest in little containers and freeze.

I'd try to avoid most of the rice, though; and don't eat it everyday or force it down in full and stretch your stomach.

How do I contact this site's moderator? The app in my iPad for this site isn't working today. Anyone else have this problem today. .??

I'm just over 7 weeks out. I am still on soft foods. So I eat soft meats and cheese sticks only. Maybe order the meat portion of what your craving and no rice.

I am 8 weeks today and can eat anything my stomach can tolerate and so far it has tolerated everything I have given it. I, like you, had a bad craving for rice, veggies and chicken. I ate it. I made it fresh at home though. I took a couple bites, was satisfied for a couple hours then had a couple more bites... at this point, it is all about what you can tolerate. Remember to chew well and eat slow.

I am 14 weeks out and I eat anything I want. As stated before 3 or 4 bites and I am good. It is awesome to not worry about food and exercise. Don't get me wrong. I log my Protein. Protein is always first . Then liquids. And I am going to the gym to exercise, to strengthen my body. Not to lose weight. It is so amazing that I don't have to guilt myself out it a strange and wonderful thing. I wish that I had done this years ago. I am 55.

      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.
