4 weeks! What are you eating?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks, and wondering what everyone is eating at 4 weeks. I'm pretty strict on what foods to eat. Afraid to move on too fast. Any tips? On what your eating at 4 weeks. I did just start exercising..too

I'm 8 weeks out. at 4 weeks, I was still on soft/pureed foods...

I ate A LOT of hummus, cottage cheese, egg drop Soup from the local chinese place, and more hummus (hahaha).

If I went out to eat, I'd order a Soup (tomato bisque was one)...

I think I started on tuna at that point as well, mixed with a little mayo to keep it wet. Crab cakes that I made at home to keep the bread crumbs low, and of course Egg faces Ricotta bake!

Breakfast: Greek yogurt or Protein shake

Snack: Protein Bar

Lunch: cheese, turkey..or something similar.

Snack: peel - less apple or Protein Bar

dinner - seafood with a side of steamed veggies.

Next week I am going to try some fresh veggies and more fruit.< /p>

After the 22nd - will add in exercise. Now just a ton of walking.

At that point I was pureeing chicken and sour cream or chicken and cream of chicken a lot. I also really loved to puree the chicken or turkey chili from Trader Joe's. Sooo yummy and quite a bit of Protein. For something sweeter, I would puree pumpkin and greek yogurt or pumpkin and cottage cheese (personal favorite) with some cinnamon. Delish.

I'm eating scrambled eggs, cheese, deli turkey, Beans, baked fish, tuna, and chili. There's more on my list to try as I work towards solid foods.

Wow! I am 3 1/2 wks out and still on soft foods Next Thursday, I start Stage 3 and can add deli meat, tuna, canned fruits in juice or light Syrup, veggies cooked well enough to be pierced by a fork. Interesting how different the various bariatric centers advise us. Mine is very cautious, apparently. I won't be on Stage 4 till mid-August.

I'm in my 4th week too! I'm eating soft foods like eggs, cheese, greek yogurt, Peanut Butter, tuna salad, black Beans, and still having Protein shakes to get me to my goal! I also tried a chicken casserole and pureed the meat - that worked okay. Just don't much like the consistency of pureed meat!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
