6 days post-op food choices



Recommended Posts

I will be one week sleeved as of tomorrow! While I'm so glad I made it one week. What the heck am going to creatively come up with in the "Full Liquid" Stage to spice this next week up? I've put spices in my Soups, my Bone Broth. I've made 3 different types of Jello. I drank my probiotic lemonade. A sip of Kombucha here and there. Iced tea, with lemon. All different kinds of Protein Drink flavors. I am out of ideas..... anyone else have that trouble going into the second week? I just want some baked soft fish.... which is another week away..... LOL!

How about some Egg Drop Soup without the vegetables? I think the floating egg would be okay in week 2, it is pretty loose.

I think I also had Greek Yogurt that had no fruit pieces in it. I like the Okios Dannon Orangesicle, it tastes like a 50/50 bar.

I may try that on Friday. The egg drop Soup. I have stocked up my own broth so I have a surplus. I even took my own broth and Jello to the hospital. Of course, I cleared it with the doc first. But the nurses freaked, one in particular. But hey, if it's health you're after, why eat theirs?

Yesterday I put chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder in my broth and had taco soup! It was wonderful. I guess I just have to get REALLY creative.....

I didn't want to eat, but what I did eat, it was pretty boring. Luckily, the excitement of not being hungry and knowing how my life was changing.....made it all worth while. Hang in there, this too shall pass! Get out and go walk around the mall or Wal Mart - window shop, good exercise and will occupy your time!!

      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.
