what do you eat?



Recommended Posts

Can someone who is 4-6 months post surgery, please give me an idea of what you eat every day. Just a typical Breakfast, lunch, dinner. I don't even care that much about the quantity, just what kind of stuff can you eat? Can you still make tacos for you family and have one? Just wondering if I will be eating totally differnt things than what I serve my family.

Here is a typical day:

B- eggs and fruit (apples or strawberries) or 1 egg and refried Beans and salsa, or 1 cup greek yogurt (20 g Protein in one container!and NO fat!)with fruit.

L-sliced turkey lunch meat and salad w/lots of veggies or chicken and hummus with cucumbers.

D-turkey burger w/no bun, vegetable (salad or a cooked one), or some other form of chicken and another vegetable!! (I do a lot of turkey burgers from Rachel Ray recipes- she has a zillion variations on turkey burgers so you get a lot of variety) or I go Mexican and have ground turkey, refried beans and shredded lettuce and tomatoes - a tostada without the tortilla - I use the greek yogurt as sour cream!!

I am not real restricted, so as I get tighter the turkey burger will shrink, I'm sure but this gives you the idea.

S1-South Beach high Protein snack bar

lunch-can of tuna, tablespoon of ranch dressing, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese

(warmed in microwave-it is awesome)

S2-Cheez-it 100 calorie pack

dinner-low fat english muffin with low fat Peanut Butter and 1/2 a banana

I have been eating 6 times a day on the advice of my nutritionist and I am hardly ever hungry!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
