Protein question



Recommended Posts

I hope this is the correct forum for this question, please pardon my ignorance if it's not????. Does anyone know if you can/should eat grilled or BBQ'd foods from a gas grill or charcoal grill. Hubby is a big griller and we are curious. Thanks to any suggestions!

I don't know why not. Once you are cleared for all foods then any grilled meat should be ok. I had grilled salmon during my soft phase and it was delicious.

@@Dub, can give you lots of insight into grilling!

Somewhere around the 8-9 week mark my desire to grill was rekindled.

I freaking love it.....the grilling and the flavors.

I've got slabs of ribs on right now, in fact.

Collards on the stove.

I'll have a rib...maybe two....and a couple bits of collards. Protein & Fiber. All good stuff.

Grilled some salmon this weekend.....love it, too.

Grill away! Just follow the Proteins you are allowed for the specific stage of diet you are in.

Thanks very much to everyone for the grilling advice ????. I was unsure if the grill marks or the smoked/charbroiled taste might make people nauseated or worse. I guess you really do just have to try things little by little and see how you do! Hopefully I will still enjoy very small portions of grilled and spicy foods.

The grill part of your question is just fine, but I would try BBQ Sauce with caution or use sugar-free.< /p>

Thanks Spiceyfrog; yes, I've been taught at nutrition classes our program requires that BBQ Sauce must be sugar free or homemade with no sugar added. I don't want to do anything that will cause me to become sick and get re-admitted to the hospital. ????

After surgery it becomes one big experiment. Once coveted foods become inedible to some. If he loved it and can eat it with his specific stage diet....go for it.

I'm a grilled and if I had to give up the grill, that would probably have been a deal breaker. lol my only advice is stay away from BBQ sauces because those are full of sugar and sugar is not our friend post surgery at all. Also, make sure you eat moist meat and if it's something that tends to be dryer like chicken, just make sure you have some sauce on hand to lube it up. ????

I'm so happy that someone asked this question as I wondered the same thing. I have not been to the NUT yet however I was afraid of any BBQ Sauce after I saw how it affected my sister. She is 5 years post op RNY and she tried some of her husband's sauce he ordered. Within 30 minutes she had taken most of her clothes off (in the Mall) and she was Sweating So Bad. I was Completely Scared!

Does anyone have a source or recipe for a decent sugar free BBQ Sauce? I miss the smoky brown sugar taste and would really like to find an alternative.

if you find one let me know. I tried G Hughes sugar free BBQ sauce, but blech it was horrible. I also tried making paleo BBQ sauce, but again blech blech blech! I really want something that compares at least to sweet baby rays, but so far no dice. I've kind of given up. ????

I, too, have wondered about a decent BBQ Sauce once I can try that type of food post op. I've asked about grilling (as in cooking methods) and had some nice advice from posters here. But I've also not found anything very specific out in the marketplace for "sugar free" sauce.

I had always made from scratch or tweaked a store bought sauce before surgery, so I'm guessing I'll have to make my own sugar free sauce post surgery, too. I'm in the boat with you all; anyone who has more knowledge or ideas, post away!!

      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.
