Recommended Posts

I am so sick of Protein Shakes, pudding, Jello and yogurt... I can't stand all these sweet tastes. I just want something savory... I know I can have chicken broth but I am so looking forward to something else!!! Who can relate and what are the first things you ate on the next phase?

All I wanted was cheese. I begged the dietitian to let me have a bit a day or two early. Now I'm tired of eating cheese ;)

After surgery most foods seemed to lose their taste. Eventually I found out that mixing foods together seemed to add flavor back into my meals. So I generally relied on softer foods such as chilis and Soups.

I can totally relate. I am only 5 days out and everything is so sweet. Only thing I can have this week that is not sweet is broth and just the smell of it makes me sick. All the things that get added next week, yougart, pudding, ect are sweet too. I never liked cream of wheat, but I bought some today to try next week since it is not sweet (that I know of) Trying to make it to week 3 when I can add somethings that are savory/salty. Pre-surgery I liked sweets as much as the next person, but would always prefer food to sweets so week and half will be hard, but 2 weeks will be over before we know it.

I'm downing fat free broth like there is no tomorrow!

I have never been a sweet person so I'm all for the beef broth, chicken broth and vegetable broth.

Thank you very much for sharing. That whole article will prove to be valuable when I get to the mushy food stage.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
