Sausage and olives?



Recommended Posts

@sarahbethemails

I buy a quarter pound of an antipasto mixture from the olive bar at the Whole Foods near my house at least twice a week. I can eat everything in the mixture; green olives, black olives, feta cheese, salami chunks, small pieces of artichoke hearts, diced red peppers, button mushrooms, mozzarella chunks and the "marinade" or "dressing" is always yummy! I have tried to make it at home but it wasn't quite the same. Just remember to chew well and take small bites.

I started eating turkey sausage patties 12 days post-op. I usually have one or two a week with my eggs.

I added sausage at the soft foods stage (4 weeks). Oddly I could have poultry and fish, but not red meats, no matter how moist, during purees. I am surprised you aren't at least being allowed turkey sausage.

Omg ash you had me at salami chunks and artichokes!! Yummy how long have you been eating that for!! Sleepy that's great to know not sure why I'm not allowed unless she meant I was referring to regular sausage not sure.

Actually scratch that lol my nutritionist finally emailed me!! She said no to sausage but yes to turkey bacon quiche and ketchup. Turkey bacon odd but ok.

turkey bacon is awesome! i like mine really crunch so i put it between two paper towels for 2 minutes and about 10 seconds (depending on your microwave power) and it's yum :)

I started eating the antipasto mix about three weeks post-op. When I first started eating it, I picked around the peppers, the salami and the really big green olives. I focused the cheese, the little black olives and the really tender mushrooms.

Now at two months post op, I put the little container on my desk, with a crab fork and eat everything in there throughout the day. Yum!

Sounds like a great plan. I drive by a Whole Foods store almost every day.

I'll have to stop in and grab some of that.

      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.
