6 weeks post op- what can i eat?



Recommended Posts

Pretty much only eating yogurt, cottage cheese and some ground meats...anything else?



I eat most of whatever soft foods - I had bib lettuce with ham and cheese rolls - two tiny ones with mustard - it was yummy
I had clam chowder and Manhattan style too- 1/2 cup but like 1/4 cup at the time
I ate 1/2 fish patty
Avocado with tuna - I found this tiny tuna cans and one can suffice for two meals
- egg white and a bite of sausage from a McDonald's sandwich - order no butter no cheese and - I didn't ate the bread - egg for Breakfast and sausage for lunch - I keep ready to drink Protein powders in my bad as well as light and fit yogurt which I add Protein Powder or Peanut Butter powder - those are my go to kind of foods - oh and sugar free popsicles
I'm in my fifth week now - :)

i'm a little over 5 months post surgery. I'm still struggling with what to eat. For Breakfast I eat a hard boiled egg and a yogurt or a scrambled egg. Sometimes I'll eat a little fruit. For lunch its usually a Protein Drink, a salad with broiled chicken, chili from Wendys or sliced turkey wrapped with cheese . For Supper its usually shrimp or talapia or tuna . I don't have a lot of variation simply because its so hard to swallow certain things and I don't want to waste my money, I often fall back to the Protein Drinks simply to get in my Protein and it just makes everything simple. I haven't tried the Peanut Butter powder but may do some very soon.

      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.
