Recommended Posts

Maybe this will be helpful, I know I am interested!

I am 3 1/2 months post-op

Breakfast- same as every day, coffee with heavy cream and most of a Slim Fast shake. I can't manage solids in the am

Lunch- Artichoke, boiled until it's really soft with mayonaise, I aslo had some Beano drops. 3 thin slices dry salami

Dinner- going out, will have home smoked salmon from the starter menu, it comes with garlic aioli and toast points. I usually only have one of the toast points. While husband and children are having salads and starters I will enjoy 2 glasses of wine. I will also eat one bite of dessert if someone orders one.

Tonight- most likely a scoop of lime sorbet, I have it almost every night.

This was my first day off clear liquids--I had homemade egg custard for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Yummy! Gee, if I had remembered how easy it is to make, I would have been eating this all along (probably all 6 servings in one sitting, though...:mad: ).

Yesterday...

I had an Atkins shake for breakfast and lunch, Dannon Activia yogurt and 1oz veggie chips for my Snacks. Crystal light throughout the day.

dinner - ate at a restaurant for the first time since being banded. Had a 2 small forkfulls of mac - n cheese, 2 forkfulls of crab and spinach dip, the inside of a crabcake, a few peas. May sound like a lot but it really wasn't. Had all the variety without overstuffing myself!!

      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.
