3 weeks out, what are you eating?



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 weeks post op and am able to eat some soft foods. I'm a picky eater and am having a hard time thinking of things to eat besides eggs, bananas, etc. Any ideas?

My favorite thing was Beans, cheese, and salsa, microwaved. Amy's refried black Beans is so good!

yogurt is good too, lots of Protein.

avocado smoothies are good too - avocado, milk if you're allowed, and a little brown sugar, in a blender.

can use some other type of milk that is allowed if dairy is not.

good luck!

Last Friday I was able to move to pureed. I'm eating just about anything I make for the family, just mashed up. Example, I made chicken enchiladas this weekend. I saved some of the meat filling and pureed it...so it had chicken, sour lean, black Beans, spices, taco sauce and little cheese.

Breakfast is usually cottage cheese or my Protein shake.

      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.
