Hello all. Tomorrow will mark 1 month since my sleeve operation and I, like a dummy, have misplaced my menu and trying to reach the facility that performed my surgery is a joke-they never pick up the phone nor do they return calls. But this is my week 5 phase when it comes to food. I was just released from the hospital a few days ago for severe dehydration and vomiting every single day for about a week; the doctors don't know why I keep vomiting but I'm just gonna remain focused and try to get all my liquid down and eat right. Speaking of which the reason I started this thread is to see if anyone could give me any ideas of foods u can eat in the week 5 phase? I either don't eat or pinch off of rotisserie chicken since I don't know what to eat at this point. Soup and pureed stuff is out of the question-I'm all burned out with that...lol...can I do ground turkey chili? Any homemade recipes anyone can provide or ideas would be greatly appreciated ????????

every surgeon has a different schedule of progression. i was on regular food after a month with the exception of raw vegetables and nuts. although i could eat whatever i started slow. mashed up meatball with plenty of sauce, turkey chilli was also a good choice. make sure small bites and eat slow. i made the mistake of chicken breast oh boy was that an unpleasant experience.

Have you tried scrambled eggs? I've had turkey meatballs and turkey meatloaf. Do you like tofu? I made a chicken pot pie but without any of the "pie" part, so really just the innards. Chili worked really well also. Also, baked potato or mashed potatoes.

Thanks. I tried scrambled egg whites with finely chopped vegetarian sausage diced up in it, along with a small pinch of cheese.

      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.
