Christmas party & mushies



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Thanks to those who replied to my intro posting. I now have a food question...

I am probably being banded on 31st October (date to be confirmed) and my husband's work Christmas do is on 7th December. My doctor says 4 wks post-op on liquids, then 4 wks on mushies, so I should be in mushies stage by the party. What do I do??? If it's anything like last years party there will be a sit down dinner, although possibly buffet style. How can I hide the fact that I am just eating mushies - assuming there is anything I can eat anyway??? Hope some-one can help me.

Thanks

Kathryn

Get mashed potatos & gravy, get a little bit of solid.. Eat some potatos (or stuffing, or any other mushy food), then stir your plate up after you've picked at it.. then put the napkin on top.

If someone cares to make a comment, say you're getting over the flu.. or you just ate at another x-mas party.

I can.. I don't know about the different kinds of stuffing, but the ones I have are squishy and soft.. and add gravy to it, would slide down pretty easily I'd think.

      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.
