Thanksgiving Eats!



Recommended Posts

Going to a brunch. Menu: bacon/cheese quiche, stuffed french toast, hash browns, sausage, assorted bagels/muffins/pastries, fruit. I am 10 weeks post op today. Have been doing reduced fat and no sugar since surgery. I worry about dumping syndrome. What is everyone's opinion about having a forkful of each?

Personally I would only have bacon/cheese quiche and sausage

I second that! Stick to the Protein. Or pick your top choice carb and have s CDs bites of that one only

Great advice! I went to Vegas last weekend to celebrates hubby's 60th birthday and ate too much carbs! I died which triggered an IBS episode that is still active. Not worth it! I am 9 weeks post op, RNY by the way.

Dumped, not died! Auto correct!

In the restaurant, Id have only Protein, being careful to not overeat. I might take something home to try later. I'm just 4 weeks out from RNY. I'll be having 1.5 oz of lamb + a bite of sweet potato.

For brunch I had a couple tablespoons of stuffed french toast and sliver of quiche (didn't eat end crust). dinner I had tablespoon of each side and a slice turkey. Felt fine and tolerated it all (kinda scary) but found I was totally lacking in my daily Protein. Glad Thanksgiving is over!

      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.
