4wks out and starving



Recommended Posts

Check out the recipes section. You'll start to get ideas of how to make variations on your favorite foods. I just made a variation on mexican food tonight (recipe posted). You may want to add Beans, pureed beef, etc, to your diet for more variety. One of the ways I'll get variety is through the seasonings.

What stage are you on? There's a lot of good things to try. The Mexican recipe mentioned above looked really good. You could do ricotta bake, ground beef with cheese melted, baked white fish, refried Beans, buffalo chicken dip, egg salad, ham salad, deviled eggs (could add avocado), cottage cheese with hot pepper relish (just check sugar content). Experiment and enjoy!

Watch ground beef so early. Many have issues with it.

Soft proteins........ I would stick to the diet plan your surgeon gave you. When I was allowed soft chicken about six weeks out, it lodged in my chest. I still rarely eat chicken because of that experience that terrified me. Go slow, don't try to eat anything that isn't soft or puréed unless your surgeon tells you to. Good luck!!

      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.
