A dilemma I created last night



Recommended Posts

9 days post-op

So, we had tickets to the theater last night. We had to do so many errands yesterday that before I knew it, it was time to leave. When we got down there I knew I was behind on liquids and Protein for the day, which was my own fault. The casino/hotel has a food court so I figured I'd see what I could find while she went and gambled a little prior to the show. Well I couldn't find anything, until I came to the Chinese station, there I was left with 2 options Wonton Soup or Hot & Sour Soup. I a little hesitantly chose hot & sour figuring I'd go slow to see if I could tolerate it. Well it was amazing, taste, texture, flavor, I had absolutely no problems and thought it was great. I ate from the small cup twice. I'm sure sodium was terrible but everything else was great on my taste buds. Anyone else eat this? If it's okay I could see myself eating that style alot.

p.s. 12,549 steps yesterday, no idea when was the last time I walked that many.

Skinny Girl has some delicious, and I mean REALLY DELICIOUS Asian recipes that are super healthy. I have made her spring rolls, a shrimp dish made with peppers -- just so good! I know she does Asian Soups in there, too, just haven't tried them.

As for being out and about running errands, I now keep almonds in my car, bottled Water, and premixed Protein shakes. I also live in New England, so it's cold in the car all the time now, so not worried about spoiling. Still, it helps when you are out much longer than anticipated to get in some Protein and liquids. You need to pack an emergency kit for the car, just in case. Those cheese Wisps (sold at Costco) are delicious and savory. Crunch like a chip, packed with flavor, high in protein, and portable to the car.

Great job on the steps!

I'll make one, good idea.

Never heard of cheese wisp, I'll need to check those out when I go to a full diet.

When I was on liquids, I used to go to a pho restaurant and buy the broth. Even now, we'll go and my kids will eat the noodles out of their pho and I'll snag the broth. IMHO, you did quite well.

      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.
