5 weeks out



Recommended Posts

If you're 5 weeks out you should be soon transitioning to regular foods (if you haven't done so already). Many of the following foods are appropriate for the soft phase.

1. Salmon croquets

2. chicken enchilada casserole

3. Mackerel patties

4. meat loaf

5. Chili Beans

6. Blackened catfish

7. Burgers without the bun

8. Grilled chicken salads

9. Rotisserie chicken

10. Omelettes with ham

My go to was pintos and cheese from taco bell or chili from wendy's. YUM. OH. At taco bell I would get a soft taco or burrito and refried Beans and bring it home, then dump the insides out of the burrito or taco into a bowl and mix in some pintos and cheese. Add a lil sour cream to that. Delish. That would last me days because I couldn't eat much.

I also liked broccoli cheese Soup and cream of chicken soup. Nothing with huge chunks. If you like salmon, try salmon salad instead of tuna salad with Pork rinds. Or hummus with pork rinds.

Cheeseburger in a bowl, if you are eating solid foods. Cook up some burger (beef/turkey/chicken, doesn't matter). Toss it into a bowl with some cheese and ketchup.

Instead of scrambled eggs I made deviled eggs or egg salad.

I also ran some ham n bean soup through a blender right quick. Not pureed, but enough to make sure there weren't any huge chunks.

All are super soft and will practically dissolve in your mouth btu are high Protein.

      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.
