Work Meetings always planned for lunchtime I hate this!



Recommended Posts

I planned poorly still on puree and forgot to stop fluids in time to eat before this 1130 to 1pm meeting. They ordered Chinese and all so they can play games and talk before the meeting. Would be nice to be on real food now so no one would ask about my puree and small quantities. Today I will have to tough it out. Don't let this happen to you. It's a bummer. Messes up my liquid intake schedule still only get about 30 oz per day.

I survived the food they ordered was late so they started the meeting it was only 30 minutes. I left when everyone got up to get there food. Hooray!

Maybe bring a Protein shake to those meetings so you can "eat" with them?

I suggest that people not be afraid to talk to the person ordering and/or catering the food. It's perfectly acceptable to let them know about any special dietary needs.

One of the girls brought her lunch and now that I will move into my solid food phase I will do this. She brought tuna salad. I will do that! I actually like bringing my food from home. This way i am never disappointed and my order is never wrong. That happened to one of the girls that day.

      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.
