Eating is a chore



Recommended Posts

I understand your pain. It was like that in the beginning for me too. I'm just on the "soft food stage" and life has gotten so much better. Couple more weeks then I can finally eat normal foods.. i.e. chicken, beef etc.

Good luck [emoji4]

One more week to cottage cheese, eggs and purees!! Counting down!

Nice! I didn’t get purées til week 5! It was a long long 5 weeks. Now I’m just waiting on week 9 to get here to begin solid foods!

I honestly feel so sorry for you guys who have to be on liquids and puree for weeks and weeks. My program had me on solids by day 4 (chew chew chew until puree) and it was such a blessing. A meal was half to one babybell, but it was amazing.

Some surgeons feel like it takes a few weeks for the new stomach to heal and the extra time with simple foods allows for better healing and less chance of complications.

Which procedure did you have? I had a SIPS. No way my stomach could have processed solid food by day 4!

I like refried Beans with a little plain Greek yogurt.




No beans on a liquid diet.< br>

I've got one more week to purees...but I understand what you mean about not wanting it. I have never, in my life, had so little interest in food. I have always been the kind of person who could eat through anything...I never lost my appetite....but these last two weeks, I'm never hungry

It truly is a chore. On top of not being hungry, I'm paranoid about what too eat, and how I could hurt myself. Like even a twinge scares me.

Yes, this is true...but try making popsicles out of Premier Protein. I love making bomb pops with 1/2 bananas and cream and 1/2 chocolate. That way, you change up the texture, you change up the delivery system. And, you can make them the size that is perfect for you. Need a 2oz pop? No prob. Can handle a 3oz pop--cool! Also make Protein popsicles out of Clear Protein Shakes. I love the frozen grapefruit and also lemon tea and fuzzy navel from Syntrax Nectar.

Fluffy...I love that idea. I used to love bomb pops growing up. Fudge and banana were my favorite. I will definitely give this a try.

Thanks!

Oh man, me2!!! Let me know how you like them! I think Premier Protein or The World According to Eggface actually has a recipe for them. I just poured the drink in the molds and they worked well enough...you know?

      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.
