cdestrada 6 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) I will be 8 weeks post op on Monday, 3/24. I had my surgery January 27, 2014. What is everyone snacking on? I have been having such a hard time eating foods. Noting tastes good and I don't like the texture of anything. Here is my daily diet: 30 minutes after I wake up- Protein shake (Premier Protein 30 g) Breakfast- Greek Yogurt (about 2-3 oz) Lunch- chicken chipotle Soup (Homemade) barely eat the juice, just eat the pieces Snack- 1/4 banana Dinner- chicken chipotle Soup (homemade) barely eat the juice, just eat the pieces My Chicken chipotle soup is made with lots of Shredded Chicken Breast, Green Beans, Zucchini, celery, cilantro and chipotle chilies. Apart from the above, really the only other things I can tolerate are: Cream of Wheat some cheeses fruit salads (romaine lettuce only) but I can only eat a little That is pretty much it, and I have tried just about everything.. Just don't like the way it tastes or the way my stomach feels like its turning inside me. Any suggestions would be great. As of now, I am not allowed to eat Beef or Pork.

rbtnln 81 Posted March 21, 2014 Have you tried deli shaved meats? I've also heard that the little sausages in a can are good (I don't like them). String cheese and cottage cheese are also decent choices. Because your tummy is new, you're going to have that crazy noise coming from it. Don't be surprised.

cdestrada 6 Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah I have tried deli meat as well and I don't like the taste. It tastes so fake. I do like cottage cheese, and to eat it with watermelon also. Its not the crazy noises that bother me.. Its the feeling, I feel nauseous when I feel my stomach turning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Booiam 14 Posted March 21, 2014 I HATE that feeling too! I am about 3 months out from my sleeve, so it gets better! I have to watch what I eat still, it's awesome you can eat lettuce, I WANT a salad so bad, but veggies as a whole are rough for me still. I still take a Prilosec everyday, but don't want to do that forever, so I try to skip it and man on those days, my tummy HATES me! I have found that if I eat half portions, wait an hour or so, then eat the rest of the 1\4 cup that it doesn't hurt so much. My biggest issue is Water, I drink all day long it feels like but I am so dehydrated! My skin feels like sandpaper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted March 21, 2014 I had to take two meds for nausea for my first twelve weeks. Ask your doctor! They were a lifesaver. 1 BabySheldon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeniseNCC1701 306 Posted March 21, 2014 I bought some popsicle molds. I puree fruit, add a little Splenda (for now, later on I want to wean myself off of artificial sweeteners), and freeze those bad boys up. YUM. Low calorie, and fairly low carb in the whole scheme of things. Be well… 1 WhoKnows reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
