Latin/Chinese/Syrian recipes



Recommended Posts

I'm on soft foods and although I can't have it yet, I'd love a Mediterranean plate... A piece of chicken kabob, some hummus and a 1/4 cup of tabouli would be awesome right now. I'm so boring right now... turkey chili, refried Beans and tuna are my staples. Being able to make healthy (flavorful) choices is really the key to keeping this lifelong commitment... so I can't wait until I can introduce more foods.

I eat a lot of tuna. I like it plain, with a little bit of mayo, with some flavored aioli (I have some from Stonewall Kitchen that I like), with salad dressing, etc. you can also get some of the flavored tuna packets (like ranch, etc).

I found that post-op, if I do mix in a fat, I need much less than I used pre-op.

I eat lots of hummus.

Chinese I like tofu w/ veg or miso Soup.

Puerto Rican I get manduras or tostones & rice & Beans if I can get my friends mom to make it withou pork or lard

My fav is Indian. I usually get molov kofta (so?)

Indian Chinese or Thai are always easy since I can get something either with Beans or with tofu.

I'm actually planning to make a miso Soup tomorrow. I'll add some unflavored Protein powder to the miso broth then add some bay Bok Choy & fresh ginger. I'll either dice doe tofu it add a bit of TVP. Other than the Bok Choy the soup is perfect for any stage. If you eat meat you could swap out the tofu for meat of choice

      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.
