Wondering if anyone could help me figure this out?



Recommended Posts

I am looking for something that I can microwave when I have a time crunch. I was personally thinking Gourmet Choice Healthy Steamers (I would eat the beef and maybe if there was room a vegetable or two, obviously not the potatoes or sauce). I found the nutritional information online and its not great but I am wondering if anyone might be able to guess how the nutritional information would adjust with me mainly just eating the meat and maybe a vegetable or two? This is likely a stupid question but would heating the meat up with the veggies and potatoes some how make the meat absorb some of the carbs?

Here is a link to the nutritional info, just click on Beef Merlot. http://www.healthychoicecanada.ca/en/healthy-products/#

Anyone have any other suggestions, I dont want to do swanson or hungryman because they have the meat in the sauce already.

Thanks!

I would count all of the Protein grams and guess at the carbs. If you eat 1/4 of the veggies, then count 6 carbs--1/3 of the veggies would be 8.

If you want something quick to eat when you are pressed for time, what about steaming or boiling some shrimp? They are good cold with a squirt of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil. Or hard-boiled eggs--I used to boil a bunch at the beginning of the week and make egg salad or just eat them with salt and pepper. They were ready-made no matter what I decided. Also, you could make some turkey chili on the weekend and eat that during the week.

As someone who used to live on frozen prepared meals, the food I fix from scratch tastes so much better to me, and I'm not getting all that sodium from the boxed meals. Just a thought!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
