No Hate Just A Bit Help



Recommended Posts

With the kindest words possible. First of all it's mush not fried fatty foods diet. You need to ask yourself why you had this surgery. Did you see a nutritionist before surgery? To teach you healthy eating. Maybe a vegetable Soup or fish meal that is mushy usually. You want something very soft and mushy chips of fried. You want baked fish not fried fish! And lasagne has a lot of carbs you wanna stay away from the starchy foods. Make healthy choices. This is a new start. This is just a tool it's up to you on how you make it work though best of wishes and have a great time with smart choices !!

I agree with the Soup suggestion. Baked fish would be good. Crab cakes are usually pretty mushy, if you like them. Mashed potatoes, if necessary. Sweet potatoes would be better, if they have them. Remember small portions! So, you won't need a whole meal, unless you want to take some home. Good luck! It's pretty early to be doing an outing, but I understand not wanting to miss anything.

You could eat the ricotta and sauce from between the lasagna noodles!

I was told by the dietician I could have anything that I could mash down with a fork. I haven't ate anything proper for 4 weeks and I was going out for meal otherwise I would've has a shake or something. I don't intend eating fatty or convenience foods all the time but I was out for my husbands birthday. Anyways I had lasagne, well I picked at it. Ate very little. Really struggling at this stage not a fan of mush. Just wanted a little help but wish I never asked. Dietician ringing me tomorrow so I can ask her any questions I have.

good that your dietician is accessible on short notice. I went out with my husband while on purees, I find there is usually something. Luckily the had an amuse bouche with hummus, so I was able to have that and then I ordered french onion Soup, but avoided the bread and cheese and just ate the soup. Sounds like the lasagne worked for you. when I was on mushy foods I did make my own mini lasagnas at home with sauce, cottage cheese with a little mozza and a little parmesan mixed in and a little ground beef (no noodles) (baked them in the oven. going forward I'll be making mine with zucchini instead of noodles. still delish.

      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.

      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.
