Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Is there something I can have besides this...?



Recommended Posts

I never thought I would want to stray from the diet but here it goes. Question. Can I have Peanut Butter and crackers if I just chew them up really well? I'm two days away from being one week post-op and I'm sick of just eating broth, Jello and popsicles. So sick of it, I'm repulsed by it. It's only been 5 days. Smh.

Stay strong. Maybe try mixing in some PB2 into a Protein Shake to give you that rich Peanut Butter flavor. I'm 1week post op [emoji4] Hang in there. I had a small decafe soy latte to change things up a bit.





Thanks for the encouragement. Thanks for even replying. [emoji846]

Our liquid post-op diet is for 3 weeks and I've still got one to go, funnily enough Toast with PB is what I want but even tho I am fine with really chunky Soups etc I'm not gonna risk toast. Definitely add PB to shakes as it will help.

Have you tried finding a good Soup you like and straining it? Sprouts has a really good soup I love. Now I just strain it and give the filling to family or trash it. Just an idea.

Try peanut butter balls just let them melt in your mouth 6 of them is five grams of Protein. Just don't exceed that much per day.

      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.
