Passover Foods



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm in the middle of cooking for Passover tonight, and I have no idea how much of what I'm making I'll be able to taste, let alone eat. I'm making turkey and veggies in the middle of it all, so I know I'll be fine with that.

What about matzo? I'm assuming that it is a no-go like bread is, but how are small pieces? Matzo balls in my fantastic Soup? Does anyone know if I can have a few bites? I'm skipping the feels-like-lead no-flour Desserts in lieu of baked pears, I know that should be ok.

Now, back to my kitchen!:thumbup:

I'd be afraid to try Matzo balls be cause of their consistency, but you might be okay with Matzo bread since it is like a cracker. Many people people say crackers go down okay.

I hope you will post and let us know what you were able to eat.

Happy Passover!

I had matza last night and it was fine. The matza balls in the Soup I only tasted one bite because I was afraid of it getting stuck. I am just sticking to chicken and veggies for the most part.

I did fine last night...unfortunatly I had snacked on haroset all day (fruit and nut mixture) so I had room for a little matzo ball Soup and that's it(it had chicken so I got plenty of protein). My family tells me I made a lovely turkey and yummy side dishes, and an amazing dessert, but I was too full to enjoy. I really wanted a bite of the dessert too (baked stuffed pears) but that's ok.

      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.
