Do you have a favorite go-to post-sleeve food?



Recommended Posts

As time goes by, I find myself clinging to a few favorite foods over & over again. Some have more Protein than others, but still remain my "go-to" foods. Does anyone else feel the same way? Here are 2 of mine:

Cabbage Pork Vegetable Soup - pork maple ground sausage, onions, cabbage, canned & drained navy Beans, mixed veggies, low sodium vegetable & beef broth. Cook onions, add pork sausage. Drain, put back in pot. Add broth, veggies & navy Beans. Cook for 30 minutes. Add cabbage & cook an additional 15-20 minutes. The longer it cooks, the better the flavor (in my opinion). The pork sausage & combination broths give this Soup a very flavorful taste. I measure out 1 cup & freeze it for lunch or dinner.

Stouffer's Spinach Souffle - I split the package into 2 servings & it's more than enough as I add some type of a Protein to this (chicken or even turkey meatballs)

Any others out there?

Greek yogurt, low fat lunch meat and costco rotisserie chicken. I eat least one of these items and sometimes all three every day.

If I am in a hurry and don't want to cook, I mix a single serve tuna pack with some cottage cheese and sprinkle it with cayenne pepper and throw in a few pistachios for some crunch. Doesn't sound all that good but it is and has lot's of Protein.

      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.
