Recommended Posts

Nana,

Gosh after I read your post I got so hungry. Your descriptions are awesome. I will make some this week - yummmmmmmmmmmm! Thanks for sharing your recipe secrets. Do you have any trouble eating rice these days? I am a little scared to try it.

Thanks again.

I'm only adding a teeny amount. Which is hard for me, because I LOVE rice! I'm from Louisiana, y'know!!?!! Down there we say, "Rice is ON! What do ya'll want for dinner?" Cause its pretty much on the table always! LOL

But now it's a love/hate relationship because I know it's largely to blame for me being over 300 lbs!!! So I've been cutting way, WAY back for years....to the point that post band, I'm measuring it into my bowl by the teaspoonful rather than the shovelful. But so far, no problems.

Dangedest thing though....I keep getting 'hung up" with GRITS of all things!!! I may have to give them up entirely. I've had two bad spells with them.

Oh so sorry to hear about the Grits. I was raised in my early years in Georgia and love love grits but don't eat them anymore unless I am travelling down South.

I suprised they get "hung up".

Take Care Nana,

      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.
