I was taking the Flintstones with Iron my doctor told me not to take those so I had to go buy the optisource for 30$but u have to take 4 of them ugh I also take Biotin, zinc, vit d3, b12..along with my prescribed meds.

Try pintrest they have a whole crap ton of stuff for gastric patients. I'm currently loving egg muffins that have ham peppers and onions. All it is is egg veggie and meat in a cup cake/muffin pan whatever that is called and baked. Delish! Esp if im in a rush.

Are you tracking Protein grams, carb grams, etc? Do you know how many calories you are eating? Are you getting in all the recommended Protein?

It doesn't sound like too much to me, in fact sounds a little light on the protein depending on how much "a slice" is. Are we talking a thin slice of deli meat or a 2 ounce slice of turkey? Same with the cheese, are we taking a thin half ounce slice or a 2 ounce piece?

I track everything. I'm only getting 500 to 600 calories a day. It's also the 2 Oz maybe if turkey from deli. I didnt get them too thin the cheese is regular sliced. I use my scale and measure out 4 ounces but I can't eat all of that in one sitting so I go back and eat it for a snack. I'm just wondering if I should try to get more veggies and fruit. I know im not getting enough protein cus i cant eat that much in one sitting but I do go back to it.

The optisource isn't too bad I don't think so atleast!

Im almost 6 weeks out. I can only eat very little for Breakfast lunch and dinner. But in between esp at night ill snack on little foods. Like example

Breakfast I had half of a scrambled egg and 1 pc of turkey bacon

lunch i was only able to eat 1 slice of turkey and 1 slice of cheese

For dinner I had half a hamburger and Mandarin oranges

After that I had one deviled egg then a little bit later I had half a Protein shake. Then I had a sugar free popsicle. And then i had another pc of turkey with a slice of cheese.

Does this seem like too much? Idk what has been up with me the past couple days but I have been getting hungry at night. I'm terrified of stretching my pouch. I havent got sick so that's a good thing. Maybe I should eat for veggies and fruit as well? My dietician just told me to eat 3 means and 2 Snacks. What do u guys usually eat for Snacks?

Please help I need advice.

I would only have them once in a while. I mixed two potatoes with canned chicken. It lasted three meals and made me go to sleep since it takes energy to digest. Try canned chicken or tuna with low fat mayo. Also there are Bariatric cookbooks and bariatriceating.com

I know mashed potatoes are not a good idea. Esp since I'm almost 4 weeks out. But I needed something different they were also home made. The first 2 times didn't bother me. I had some earlier around 3pm and I've been nauseous ever since. No puking tho! Anyone else have this issue with mashed potatoes?

I take two of the Flintstones and they don't taste so bad.

Soups didnt really fill me up. But I would only eat 1/4 the cup here and there until it was finished.

Yes to the Ricotta bake! I love it! I used the recipe from eggface and split it into a bunch of small portions. It's been one of my favorites since surgery 4 weeks ago.

I go on pureed foods today! So I'm very excited to try it and of course very nervous. Is there any thing else you have tried that you liked?

My Doctor has told me to eat more cheese. I am still on the puree stage. What type of cheese were you able to eat at this stage? Thanks.

Low fat cottage cheese and low fat ricotta cheese. They told me about ricotta bake or noodless lasagna. Ricotta cheese with some Pasta.

You were hungry 6 days post op? I'm 10 days post op and never feel "hungry" sometimes I get hunger pangs from an empty tummy, but I have no desire to eat.. I can only eat about 2 oz of puréed Soup - very, thin. I found out the hard way I can't handle anything thick yet.

The hunger is all in your mind. You could of really hurt yourself esp eating crackers. If you feel like you're starving eat some broth,cream of chicken (minus the chicken) Soup with some Protein, or a Protein shake. Youre only 6 days out. It's gonna be hard. But you can do it.
