Food recommendations for post-op beginning weeks



Recommended Posts

All

I know before my surgery, I was searching for any information on suggested products for post op dieting. So I thought maybe this would be a good topic to start.

I can tell you the Choice Bariatric Soups are disgusting and have a terrible smell...they also dont mix well and are very clumpy. I just tried the ProtiDiet chicken Flavor Soup and its really good (15g protein/3g carbs). Its expensive ($13 for 7 packets) but it was a life saver for me during the liquid phase. I just ordered the Protidiet Tomato basil so I'll let you know how that tastes. It helps to get more Protein in when your sick and tired of the sweet shakes.< /p>

Also, I dont know about you, but I have an extremely difficult time choking down the premiere clear protein fruit punch. But I was able to drink WonderSlim Liquid Protein Concentrate in Orange flaver. It isnt as sweet and doesnt have that disgusting after taste that the premier fruit punch has.

Let me know if you have any suggestions!!!!

If youre like me it wont matter because whatever you decide on, you wont be able or want to take in much.

for me it was

water
skim mil with extra protein
broth
popsicles
yogurt

i couldnt take in much food stuffs so i just tried to drink a lot of Water and mix flavorless powder in when i could.

broth and unflavored Protein Powder is the best imo. You can get any broth that you acutally like, and it tastes better and is more cost effective than getting any of these pre-made Protein bariatric Soups.

Syntrax Nectars are the consistency of Water, and they come in all kinds of flavors. Cappucino, and the tropical cooler were some of my favs post-op. The iced tea flavor kind of sucks, the lemonade is good. You can order sample packs, try them and decide what you like.

      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.
