check out the world according to eggface...her RICOTTA BAKE is BOMB!!! i lived on it when I was in that stage. The drinking is just another thing you need to adjust. I just make sure I dont have a drink around because old habits die hard.
Since I am finally starting to tolerate more foods I am not sure exactly how to measure protein and food amounts.
I need some direction.
Say i make a crockpot. Meal. Creammof chicken, chicken, broccoli and gravy. I can figure out the nutritional information easy. But I am going to be just eating the chicken with a little of the sauce. Do I just measure the chicken in ounces and figure the protein that way?
Up until yesterday my choices were limited but yesterday and today I can definitely see an upswing in my tolerance of dense meat.
Thanks! I think that is what I wanted to hear. I dont eat any meat on the bone, and pre surgery only ate very dry white meats....so it has been a struggle taste wise. I have found myself loving some seafood when I completely hated it before so that helps.
My doc said to start eating things "as tolerated"...well I dont know when the heck that would be. Geesh.
Info...had RNY 3/31 had severely abscessed liver 4/23 and doc said to consider that day 1 food wise it was pretty severe.
I am not tolerating chicken or beef yet. Did eat Buddig meat today and that was okay. I can eat VERY marinated meats. I was a person with a very sensitive stomach before surgery so I am not surprised. I am on sucralate(SP?) 4 times a day for ulcers so that doesnt help.
But when did you start eating some of the Quest bars? I am SOOOOOOOOOO bored with what I am having now.
I went back at 2 weeks with a doctor's note to allow me to walk 5minutes every hour. I didnt have any trouble with side pain or anything like that. I do have a desk job.
Any tips on keeping the chewable multis down? I just can't seem to manage it. I ate. It. About 30 minutes ago. Have been haven't pain and. Tightness and. Some. Vomiting. I have tried. On amd. Empty stomach, before I eat, after I eat just nothing seems to help.
How do you construct your burger ricotta cheese thing? The ingredients sound delish!
Bariatric Foodie is a really good one. Though I mostly subsist on Eggfaces ricotta bake
I lost 12 on my liquie diet and 30.2 since surgery on March 30. I did have the other surgery which was very bad to rebound from and I know that affected my loss. I am not so concerned about my overall loss as the fact that I am going up and down the same 2 pounds. Wondering if that would be a stall or if I am doing something I shouldnt be/not doing something I should be
I am 7 weeks post op and am down 44.2 pounds since I did my preop liquid diet. Saw the doctor yesterday and he was ok with the loss. Had been hoping for more, but had a second surgery that had me out of commission for about 3 weeks.
That being said, I havent lost in a while and seem to be going up and down the same 3 pounds. Is that considered a stall? I am staying the course and even adding some exercise but just trying to be realisitic.
I second powerade zero. I am 7 weeks to post op and am juat now able to atomach water. Before I filled mycup with ice and sipped the powerade. The ice meltwd and it was super cold and not as strong
I have been buying my vitamins at my doc but they are. Very far away so I am looking for an online resource to order them. From. I prefer chewable. Thanks!
I am 6 weeks out and still. Can't stomach water, which sucks because I was a huge water drinker. It smells. And tastes like an old. Can to me. I have been drinking g2 gatorade and powerade per doctor's orders
I am 5 weeks. Post op. I am wondering what the difference is in feelings between a stricture and just not. Tolerating a specific food.
I did have a set back 2weeks post op and doc said to consider it day 1 food wise but just looking for some insight. e
I would giveit asmuch weight as you did when they told tou to lose.... MYOB!
I am 2w4d out and have been in a crazy amount of pain this week. My doctor scheduled an ultrasound and it is apparently time foe the gall bladder. To. Come. Out, already.
Cananyone give me an idea what to expect? Could this be the cause of why I am not. Losing weight? y
I am 2 weeks out and am really struggling to get my protein in. I am eating ok. I am. Tolerating everything on my list but eggs, just having a hard. Time getting enough protein in.
Looking for any advice. I am having a hard time with shakes, doing ok with water.
I came home about 24 hours later and it wenr great. One piece. Of. Advice I am glad I took was to bring a pillow for the ride home. Even on the way home we stopped at walmart for a couple of things. I moved slow but it was fine. I slept fine in my bed, on my back, with a pillow sit upon on the back amd a bunch of. Pillows propping me up.
I am measuring. That is why I was asking. I am not sure if eating is uncomfortable or i am. Doing something wrong. I am. Only eating 2 tbs at a time. I am not eating anything that really needs to be chewed but am still chewing somewhat. The list of approved foods is very short but I am sticking to it.
I am eating cottage cheese, yogurt, refried beans... Those things.
Whatdoes full feel like now? I just atea tiny container of cottage cheese and i feel uncomfortable. Am I full? Did I over eat? o
Ok. Thank you. I am allowed 2 tbs od certain foods 3 times a day. I feel fine, i will relook at my discharge. Itqas supposed to be soupy and I am certain I juat didn't make it soupy enough.
I am day 4 post op. I am allowed runny oatmeal. I didn't make it runny enough and it came back up. Do I need to notify my doctor or is it just trial and error?
I just had my surgery Monday, so I am obviously not going back yet, but how long were you off? I have a desk job and really feel like I could go back next week. I wont see the doctor until next Tuesday but I am curious how long before you went back.
I was scared that I couldn't make it 2 weeks on all liquid. Alls it took was googling what happened to people who didn't. It is serious business. From cracked livers to the doctor having to close you up without doing it. It just isn't worth the 2 weeks(or whatever your time is) to change your future. You can do it!!
