Transitioning to soft goods



Recommended Posts

Breakfast:

Dannon Light Greek Yogurt is still what I eat every morning.

lunch

I would do steamed cauliflouer and mix in a wedge of laughing cow cheese, salt and pepper and puree

or

Cottage cheese- small curd

or

Vegetable Soup pureed

Dinner: Refried Beans, pureed

or

Cottage Cheese- small curd

or

Vegetable Soup pureed

Of course you can still do your Protein shakes to get in your Protein

SF Jello Puddings- 60 cal

I'm sure there are many others but these were my staples through this stage.

Best of luck and congrats on moving on to the next stage!!:-)

Ok so I'm finally able to move away from the staples of my life; the beloved Jello and broth. Any suggestions how to start, what to eat morn, noon night? I'm just trying to wrap my head around what a day looks like.

Didn't your doctor provide a list of items you can eat? No one should have to ask these questions on an online forum. You should have detailed instructions of what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat.

If you did not receive this information, demand it. This is not the way to start your journey. You need information or you will get into trouble. Eating with the band is not instinctive at all and I am concerned for you that you will not receive the support you deserve and are paying for.

Please call or see your doctor or nutritionist as soon as possible. Good luck.

Thank you enjoythetime. You're response was very helpful and greatly appreciated. To see how the foods all fit in within a day. Getting a list from my nutritionist wasn't enough for me. Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom ????

I started soft foods last week and here are some of the things I eat: scrambled eggs, tuna with light mayo, canned chicken with light mayo, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, thinned oatmeal, deli turkey with laughing cow cheese wedge, pintos and cheeses go made like Taco Bell, turkey meatballs in blender with some Pasta Sauce. My doc told me I could have any soft food that I could cut with a cheap plastic fork and it not break.

      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.
