Diet from program includes bread for breakfast and lunch anyone else



Recommended Posts

I think for me it is difficult because I was never a huge bread, potato or rice eater. I also did not feel heard nor comfortable with my NUT. I have now incorporated Keto friendly carbs and every other day almonds in my diet. My weight lose has not increased meaning I am still averaging about 1 kilo per week. I workout 6 days a week. I am still looking for ways to improve my weight speed but am also trying not to allow myself to become too frustrated by this.

I'm 6 months post endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and have only had 1/2 bun and two slices of Aldi low carb bread in those 6 month. I would think if you need to up your carbs, it would be best to eat some fresh fruit or veggies.

My program is moderate on carbs. Once I was released to eat anything their target was 50-80g a day. Any one of the balanced meals my nutritionist suggested was 1 slide whole grain bread, egg, and yogurt.

At around 9 months the target moved to up to 100g a day and most days I stay under that. They allow whole grain breads, etc.. although I generally try to get my carbs from unprocessed sources: Vegetables, etc... I do occasionally eat rice, sweet potato's etc... but try to limit as they are higher calorie and if I'm not careful they do kick off cravings.

Is it crazy to say I will eat whatever is best to ensure I am successful. With my NUT there was no other options per day I should eat two moment of fruit plus bread, crackers, rice or potatoes with each meal. I am currently still only able to eat 80 grams of meat with each meal and I am full. When I eat vegetables I then only can consume half the meat. I eat my yoghurt and drink Protein Shakes and my 80 oz of Fluid per day. I have no room for much else. Even the cracker and almonds I cannot do everyday and not with each meal. I know every plan is different and every body is different. I am still looking for the one that is right for me.

      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.
