Recommended Posts

I’m 1 week out! unfortunately I’m going to miss out on thanksgiving which is ok I’m going to go catch a movie while everyone eats. But I hit my 6 weeks 4 days before Christmas and was wondering what everyone ate this time around.

I'm pretty much eating similar to what I have been. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow. I have a shake with double Protein in the morning, then throughout the day, I'll eat a few ounces of deli turkey, some kind of 2% cheese, a crunchy protein snack, Soup or a little bit of something I make for dinner for family. Ground turkey, Beans, cheese goes down okay. Maybe an egg. Usually some SF popsicles

If it were me at 6 weeks at Christmas... I'd eat 1-2oz of turkey and a little gravy. Then an hour or two later go back for mashed sweet potatoes (It's Christmas after all!).

I’m one week out too. I’m finding it hard to drink cubitan which I have to take 3 times a day plus reminding myself to drink Water. It’s tough but I’m optimistic. Haven’t done any exercise yet as too weak. How about you?

At 6 weeks I was in the soft solids stage so I was eating pretty much anything I could cut with a fork, which is how my NUT advised me to judge it. For Christmas maybe try a little turkey deli meat or even turkey salad (like chicken salad but with turkey) or Ham Salad if you are allowed pork, mashed potatoes, squash or veggies cooked to soft consistently.

      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.
