Bbq Season has started.... What will you eat?



Recommended Posts

I was so nervous to travel out of state for memorial weekend. Love to travel but being 2 months post op my first thought was "what the heck do I eat"? Now that I'm over that initial fear I'll opt for chicken, bunless burger and some (tossed) salad. What will you be eating?

2 1/2 years out. Been maintaining 10+ pounds below goal for 19 months. Moderation, rather than abstinence works for me.

MMMMMMMMmmmmm. Dead animal here, land or sea.

My favorite is flank steak with grilled onions and peppers, but tonight it's going to be salmon, salad and angry edamame.

Shrimp, scallops, chicken, burger, steak, sausages, hot dogs...

I usually skip any potato or macaroni salad because they fill me up so fast and make me feel crappy. Same with Buns. I do eat cole slaw and a bit of fruit, though, and three bean salad is one of my favorites. Grilled veggies make me very happy, especially asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, YUM.

I make an awesome Pasta salad that is super easy. I coarsely chop red pepper, carrots, broccoli, cucumber, and add grape tomatoes and very finely diced vidalia onion to al dente' bowtie Pasta. Stir in some quality mayo and dump in a bottle of Ken's Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing. A bit of garlic powder, pepper and the main ingredient? A good amount of Old Bay seasoning. I dislike old bay seasoning but it's exactly perfect for this recipe. To make this pasta salad more of a meal than a side, add in some cooked baby shrimp and artificial crab leg. Let it sit over night to let the flavors blend. You may have to add more vidalia dressing if it needs moistening.

I generally just eat the veggies and seafood out of the above salad but it's OH SO GOOD. My family loves it and it's the dish all my friends request at BBQs. I usually leave out the shrimp and crab when I take it places because people are weird about seafood, myself included.

I am not a huge sweets eater so while I will have an occasional cookie or cupcake, I don't HAVE to have it.

That said, no BBQ is complete without ice cold beer. And dead animal.

I'm still in the soft food phase, so we've grilled a few salmon filets and they've been amazing.

      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.
