Food

[dannieeliza 29]

What types of food is everyone eating post op? I need to mix up my diet. I'm 3 months out and mainly eat yogurt, granola, Protein Bars, meat, cheese,and veggies

I feel your pain. I am 5 weeks out and will be adding other foods next week. I'm afraid I'll fall into the same ol' rut and not eat anything new for fear of gaining it all back. Old habits die hard! Also how do I know I am keeping to the 800 calories? I have never been good at journaling my food.

@@Dark-Horse I would highly recommend myfitnesspal.com to track your food. I've been using it since before surgery and I've used it every day since and it is a HUGE help. And it's free.

@@dannieeliza check out some of the Soups and other stuff in the BP store. I was getting extremely bored with y food as well but then I bought a bunch of Soups, bouillons, and Entrees from there to just shake it up and I found a lot of stuff that's actually really good. I especially like the chicken with Pasta Soup, cream of chicken, cream of Tomato, and beef bouillon. I bought some cheesesteak Pasta and I'm excited to try it.

I cant have Soups. My surgeon told me they are an absolute no

I will say the changing it up thing is sometimes hard when your body requires mostly Protein, fruits and veggies.

I really go in phases. I eat a lot of salads with Protein on them as my fallback. Otherwise chicken and beef are my two go to Proteins with pork tenderloin in there every once in a while.

I also eat a lot of cottage cheese.

Has anyone just veered to vegan style eating? My s^{urgery is on Feb 10th, very excited but nervous about the psychological reasons I over ate all those years. I'm thinking it would be a gereat time to start to eat the way I should have all these years: mostly vegetarian, very very little sugar, anything white or processed OUT. Any thoughtsz?Z thanks, pedro}
