Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I was due for surgery last September, but due to rise in COVID number jt was canceled and then we moved. I finally got back in the process and it is now scheduled for December 13th!

I just bought some Protein oatmeal, and noticed it has 12g sugar, so thinking I will have to make my own after surgery? I definitely want tk avoid dumping, and originally thought I could add this as a puree option and soft food.

Congratulations!

The sugar is person to person. To be safe, I would say make your own or look for sugar free/no sugar added oatmeal?

That is a lot of sugar for oatmeal! I use Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus in my oatmeal. It doesn’t have any sugar & I’m only getting sugar from the fruit I’m adding.
I would put 1/4C of sugar on my Rice Krispy Cereal so I am shocked that I don’t want it on my oatmeal! There are copy cat PC Cinnamon Plus recipes on Pinterest So I just make my own.
You also can buy unflavored Protein from a nutrition store & add it to your food during the 1st couple of months.

Good luck with your surgery !

I thought so. I will use what we have now and I found an u flavored Protein and was thinking about just adding some berries/fruit and a dash of cinnamon. Thank you.

Thank you. I think that is what I will do. Perhaps will try this much later after, or will just be happy with what I am doing and not want to try. [emoji846]

      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.
