What Was on Your Friday Menu?



Recommended Posts

Happy Friday! I hope it was a good one for you!

Breakfast: oatmeal with frozen blueberries, and walnuts. Again. Am I stuck in a rut? At least it’s healthy.

Lunch: Knowing dinner may not be the best…A Greek salad with chicken breast. I added some raspberries.

Dinner: Sometimes you have to have fun and go out with friends, but I still made an effort. Italian. Minestrone Soup and 2 slices of thin crust pizza with chicken, artichokes, and parmesan. A freshly baked breadstick. How can you resist? At least I didn’t have a bowl of pasta! A small piece of chocolate cake – we split it three ways.

This day wasn’t the best, but I think I did well under the circumstances. The chocolate cake probably wasn’t necessary. It was good, but not that good. Probably not worth it.

      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.
