A snack idea and a super low calorie drink!



Recommended Posts

Hey gang, I have been worried that won't be getting enough Fiber in my diet post band. So I created veggie bundles last night and I am here to tell you they are fantastic! (it probably has been done on here many times before, but I was so excited about it, I wanted to share.) Even my 8 year old daughter ate one and fell in love with it. She wanted to take two to school today.

I took jicima, zucchini, red and green bell pepper, baby carrots, spring onions and a raw sweet potato and just did finger length slices of everything and then took three thin slices of turkey(made some ham ones as well) and put a mixed combination of the veggies on the turkey and then rolled it up tightly. I layed out my meat where a quarter of the meat was overlayed by the next slice. That gave me the length to do the roll. I then put it in a press and seal piece of wrap and twisted it like a tootsie roll at both ends.

A neat snack that is easy to put in a baggy and carry anywhere. I am using two servings as a snack. Haven't quite got the calorie/carbs/fat/fiber thing worked out yet.

Also, I want to mention that Walmart has their own no calorie drink mix, that comes in those little take-a-long tubes like the expensive brand. The orange and the punch are absolutely fantastic tasting and alot less expensive. They have lemonade as well, but I didn't like it as well as the others. Happy snacking! Keri

      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.
