2 weeks post op first restaurant



Recommended Posts

All day long I was looking forward to going out to dinner. I had planed to have the lobster bisque. Fatty yes, but at the rate of calories I have been comsuming I could afford a few. The restaurant had an hour wwait, so we went some place else. I asked the server what type of Soup they had and she says chicken noodle. So, for $4 a bowl I got to have yet anoth cup of chicken broth! Oh well, maybe next time.

Fortunately on my mushie phase I can have chicken, turkey, or fish as long as it's not fried. The other night we went to Woody's BBQ and I had a chicken breast filet drenched in BBQ Sauce, about 1/2 a sweet potato and some green Beans (I can have overcooked veggies as well). Yesterday we went to Golden Corral Buffet and I had baked salmon, brussel sprouts and squash/zuchinni. So I've been eating a lot of Protein and veggies. Not a whole heckuva lot in the way of carbs but that's the way my dr wants it.

My first restaurant experience was at great New Orleans inspired restaurant in DC. I was traveling on business and on strict Clear Liquids ... sat there with a bowl of chicken broth while others drank wine, had appetizers, Entrees, dessert. It was torture, but I knew when I made it through that evening that I was committed to this lifestyle change. Since then, I've eaten out a few days and done just fine, most recently a Breakfast meeting the day I started mushie food ... I was so excited to order an omlet!

      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.
