Some Good Food Choices



Recommended Posts

I am a day away from being 3 weeks post op. My Dr told me to try soft food and if they tolerate well I can try to bring in a different food ever 3 days.. I tested positive for the H. polyrid and I am on antibiotics for that. I really don't have an urge to eat. On a typical day in the morning I may have a Protein shake or oatmeal. lunch someone told me to try Wendy's chili. So I have. I may have a can of tuna. And at night I don't eat anything.

Do anyone have any food choices and help that will help me out. I am really sick and have a bad feeling in my stomach.

You need to eat small amounts throughout the day. My NUT told me to eat every 3 hours or so but very small meals (concentrating on protein). You could try cottage cheese, Greek yogurt (watch the sugar content though), Beans, Soup, soft boiled eggs, hummus, ground chicken or turkey). Be sure to drink plenty of Water or non-caloric drinks. Watch the oatmeal for sugar content too! You should be sure to eat at night even if you don't feel like it! Your stomach pains very likely could be from either the H Pylori or antibiotic. Hope you are doing better soon!

Thank you so much. I have 8 more days on the meds for the H. Polyrid and I will be finish.. I didn't start feeling bad until I started the meds. I figured I need to eat more but I'm afraid of eating the wrong thing. I think I'm trying to be careful verses sorry.. I will have to start eating more.. Thank you.

The three most important requirements after RNY gastric bypass surgery is to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fats into the energy that drive your body. Thus you lose weight. It is also important to get 30 minutes of walking in each day to maximize your weight loss.

This is my experience with the "Weight Loss" phase. I have included some recipes at the end of the article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

      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.
