Ideas for diet
My husband is scheduled for the sleeve 08/30/13.Doc put him on 3 wk diet. Premiere protein for breakfast. Same for lunch And for supper small salad and lean red meat, eggs, No stringy vegetables. Does anyone have ideas of what I can cook him. Running out of ideas. Not sure what kind of meats that would be or what kind of veggies that is. He has lost 14 lbs so for.been doing this for 1 week and 2 days and he getting tired of same thing. Need some help !!!
Wow, 14 pounds! That's awesome! I wish that my doctor would've let me eat that much on my diet. I was only able to eat tuna and lean deli meat. All the rest was protein shakes and clear liquids, UGH! I also got tired of the same ole things day in/day out. But it's only for a short time. Try too look at the big picture. This is only for 3 weeks. You'll be beginning a healthier life after and eventually this 3 weeks will be a mere memory! Sorry I'm not much help with your dilemma. I just wanted to congratulate him on the loss so far! Good luck on your journey!! Keep us updated!!
Meats:
Chicken
Turkey breast
Pork tenderloin
Fish (all kinds)
Shrimp, crab, lobster
Veggies:
Broccoli
Zucchini
Yellow squash
Steamed carrots
Green beans
Those were examples of things I was allowed on my pre-op diet for the one meal I was allowed. I was not allowed starchy veggies or legumes.
Good luck to him!
