Bandsters that live in the South



Recommended Posts

For those of you who live in the south, I'm sure you are familiar with cornbread dressing. I was wondering if this would be a good choice for the soft/mushie stage of eating? My mom makes it with chicken and boiled egg, that would be a good source of Protein. Hers is usually very moist, but if it wasn't moist enough, I could add some broth and/or put it in the food processer. I would maybe have to do that anyway for the chicken.< /p>

Did any of you eat this at this stage. It may be too carb-y, so if that's the case then I won't have her make me any. I'm just trying to get some ideas of things to have ahead of time, and have them in the house for when I'm ready.

Cornbread dressing should be fine. I ate some stove top stuffing on mushies and I added a little chicken stock to thin it out a bit. Yea, it's carby, but you should be fine as long as you don't go overboard with it.

I'm sure that should be fine & as you said, you can always add broth. I make mine a little spicey (do live in TX :o) w/Choirizo Sausage / chillies / pecans / dried apricots & cherries / onions....I like sweet & spicey in the same dish.

I tried to stay away from carbs early on, cause they are my downfall - and have worked since day one to stay away from them...Good Luck!!

      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.
