Life is great 1month after surgery. Amazing meals



Recommended Posts

Life has changed drastically for me as far as how I eat and what I eat. Here are some of my meals I’ve been eating 1 month out. Life is good 😁 I’m now all about organic /real/ and very clean eating. I refuse to eat processed food with artificial anything. I have great recommendations for very clean vegan Protein Powder and the best liquid Vitamin solution. Send me a note for recommendations.

Wow, you've got a stomach made of steel! I was still on purees/very soft foods 1 month out. Yeah, you!

I’m not sure if I’m lucky or what. I had a lap band for 10 years. My band was a total disaster. It was 10 tears of being bulimic. I had it removed 3 months ago and decided I would need anything. After 30 days I gained 20lbs. I just had my sleeve surgery a month ago and it’s been an amazing thing so far. Great recovery and able to eat what I posted. Couldn’t be happier. I just want people to know there is hope. Believe it or not I’m also able to drink. The only issue is heartburn but Zantac seems to take care of that.

You know, I think some people do. My stomach has had few objections, and it sure has made life easier. Most everything in those pics I could have eaten at one month....with the exception of the egg and the toast. I used to love eggs...they were a huge part of my diet. They just hit me wrong now. I still eat them on occasion, but after half an egg I'm like...bleh. Not sure what that's about, but it's kinda sad. I eat whole grain toast now, but it took 3 months or so until it was comfortable. And corn on the cob is still my longed for Nemesis. LOL

I'm a big supporter of semi vegan diets...so this food looks great to me.

Others will scream OMG, the carbs!!!! They can lump it. There are a lot of ways up the mountain. My nutritionist loves my diet. (I eat mayo Clinic Diet...which resembles Mediterranean or Japanese diet)

To each their own. Glad you found something you can live with that you love:)

In the end...that's a big piece of the puzzle, I think. Really loving your forever diet.

Try switching the whole grain bread for Ezekiel whole grain bread if your not already using it. Its sprouted grain bread.

Looks good to bad I don't like a bunch of veggies. Yes I've tried the ones I don't like a few times and prepared different ways. Avocado squash kale eggplant zucchini nope not happening. Kinda of envious of those who can eat like that lol

@Chariff do you mind sharing more of your meal ideas? I love what I see and hope I can eat these foods because most of the ingredients you shared are ones I love. Are you still doing well at 3.5 months out?

      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.
