I Feel So Hungry!



Recommended Posts

Don't those Greek yogurts taste sour? I haven't tried one' date=' but I know I don't like plain yogurt. Could I add SF syrups to Greek yogurt? Obviously I can add fruit. You tell me...[/quote']

I love Greek yogurt! Especially the Chobani brand. If I had to describe it I don't think I'd say it was sour...to me it's just not as sweet and a tad bitter, but I love it. They make some with fruit already in it and you mix it up before you eat it and that makes it sweeter :) I'd give it a try if I were you, you might be surprised ;) I know I was. My mom uses it to make smoothies and I always thought its be gross, but I was pleasantly surprised :)

They come in flavors as well. I had my nutrition consult today and she told me Oikos Key Lime was fantastic. I haven't done greek yog. yet, I am just going to jump in with both feet when the time comes.

I am going to attempt pureed chicken breast. Does anyone add anything to it or just the breast and some broth?

sometimes i prefer it a bit sweeter and when i do, i just add some sweetener to it all. it does make a difference. i only use greek yoghurt with my Protein Drinks.< /p>

Don't do just chicken by it self add you veggies or put it in your Soup. Imagine poor a can of prejudice soup in all of it noodles broth chicken. Blend till mushie not liquified and eat. All your doing is pre chewying. We are human so we could make a mistake and not chew enough at the beginning so let you're blender do the work

I always like sour cream in my chili and on baked potatoes... plain Greek yogurt makes a guilt free substitute

i use greek yoghurt a lot. sometimes i put a little sweetener in with it as well. it would be a great substitute for sour cream... good idea.

What kind of Chili are you guys talking about? I am 5 days post op and can't eat mushy foods till day 14!

I wld say to go ahead and add a lil sour cream and cheese...we can't have that much anyway!

I am thinking of all kinds of beans...pinto, navy, black, baked...anything sounds good right now!

chicken blended with salsa sounds good...ugh! I am so sick of Protein shakes!

I start purees on Monday, Aug 20th. I just bought Hormels turkey Chili with Beans 97% fat free and it has 19 Proteins 1 fat, 1 sugar and I also got the Chili with veggies 97% fat free and Chili without beans which is lower in Protein. I was told to try it with a little of little cold greek yogurt for that sour cream effect and it will add more protein. Or even wit ricotta heated on top. The fat free refried beans is another protein dish that you can add greek yogurt or ricotta. I looked for canned fat free Soups and could not find any without Pasta or potato or barley.for my stage 4 puree. So my husband and I decided to buy kidney, lentel, black beans and black eye peas and we are going to make a bean Soup with carrotts, cabbage with chicken thighs no skin because chicken breast would be too dry in a soup. I will use low sodium bouiline cubes (spelling?) and chicken broth in the box and of course many non salt seasonings. I will cook it and freeze it. I bought fish in lemon sause that can be microwave in 3 minutes and it very good, which I had on my prediet. Can anyone tell me on your stage 4 with puree, can you have Snacks between the 3 meals and is your protein 2oz.

Hi everyone, here I am, 3 days post op. I'm super confused about how I should feel. I think I'm hungry, but then I get 2 sips of Soup down and I just don't WANT it anymore. But if I eat nothing, it hurts?? Does that make sense?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
