Hi everybody

I was sleeved Dec 5. I have lost 27.8 lbs so far. I am seeing the nutritionist on Friday but I am curious about trying a few new foods and since it is the weekend, I figured I would put it out there and see what the prevailing thoughts were.

So what are your thoughts on raspberries, avocados, pistachios and parmigiana crisps?

Also since we are not supposed to drink half hour before or after a meal, will I ever be able to have a few sips of Soup with chicken ? Thanks in advance.

If those foods are on your approved list for this time frame, then try them one at a time. The only one I was allowed was a very soft avocado. And, yes, you will learn to juggle the eating no drinking rule over time.

Week 5 I should be back on regular foods, obviously making healthy choices. It says nothing is off limits in particular but I was wondering about seeds in raspberries Also I know almonds are a good snack but I had read that pistachios were not recommended. I love pistachios. I will call dr office on Monday

Nuts and seeds were off for me at that point. Definitely check before eating. Im glad i did after hearing the seeds could get caught along your staple line and cause a leak. Or something i think along those lines. Just be careful

I never had my nutritionist say no nuts or seeds, but okay. My suggestion is to work with your nutritionist and try small amounts of things at a time. 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.
