Frustr8 7,886 Posted August 11, 2018 FYI ----OSU doesn't allow bariatric patients pre or post- surgery to have pickles of any kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChellNC 162 Posted August 11, 2018 Since I'm on liquids I couldn't have one anyway. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J San 1,071 Posted August 11, 2018 Too bad for OSU patients. They were my savior on my pre op diet. I just had my first one yesterday. Wasn't sure when I could but hit my "for life" stage yesterday so figured why not. Just slice the seeds off so no worries there. You are on liquid so no harm in taking a tiny sip of the jar juice. If you don't mind drinking it. I didn't. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChellNC 162 Posted August 11, 2018 I've been tempted to drink some juice. Figure my body must need something from them to crave them this bad. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naughty Glitter Goddess 645 Posted August 11, 2018 I'm 5 days away from surgery and have been on my very lenient pre-op diet for weeks. I don't think most of my favorites would be that helpful for the group but there is one liquid item I've used in the evenings to curb cravings and keep me from thinking about snacking. It's Millie's sipping broth. I know they sell it in the Baripal store but I purchase mine on Amazon. I really enjoyed the curry spice flavor and spicy tortilla. It's basically a teabag you steep in hot Water to make a flavorful clear broth. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it - a much needed bit of savory in between all the Protein Shakes, etc. 1 1 ChellNC and AEdoesRnY reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though I don’t get the actual occurrence I get the cravings, bloating, Water retention, and did I mention cravings??? I’ve done really well the last 5-6 days but now I’m STARVING and liquid isn’t cutting it.

AEdoesRnY 531 Posted August 11, 2018 sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello puddings were life savers, AND invest in your spice rack! I used my taco seasoning spice blend to make my beef broth more interesting and it ended up being pretty tasty and relatively filling! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far I’ve only tried spicy tortilla but I am going to have curry spice this afternoon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newmebithebypass 713 Posted August 11, 2018 Ok so I’m preop day 5 of the same type of diet where your allowed food just no starch. So far I’ve utilized my air fryer like crazy I love making steak in it. So far a typical day for me is a few eggs in the am with either cheese or yogurt. Then I’ll have an approved snack. Then for lunch I have meat and veggies then for lunch another snack then dinner I’ll have a different Protein with veggies. Then a snack to accompany my nightly meds. I get in at a minimum two doses of Calcium I’m working on getting my Vitamins down. It’s also me struggling to get in all my fluids while obeying the rule of no drinking after meals for a half hour. In two weeks from today I will have a last meal so to speak of I’ll not be on true solid food for a good month so it’s a nice mmmm yeah that’s getting eaten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted August 16, 2018 So far my favorites are sugar-free hello cups from Wal-Mart and the tropical Popsicles, close third is the regular sugarFree popsicles. I substituted unsweetened applesauce for the small apple, can't chew raw apples anymore, also had bananas but only,1 small navel orange., And I found a salad blend containing kale and,othe good greens. I have been very careful to,find diet dressing, that isn't too repulsive, my favorites are from KensSteakhouse, Western,and Wal-Mart s Equate diet ranch dressing. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
