What Is Your Favorite Meal After Being Gastric Sleeved?



Recommended Posts

What is you favorite food since being sleeved? Do you crave the same foods as you did before surgery?

I am a creature of habit eater. I wonder if that will change. I can eat the same Cereal , sandwich everyday for a year, wouldn't bother me.

I love Soups, and I eat tons of Soup.< /p>

One of my favorites is the Potato Soup, it is a mix by Bear Creek, really yummy and easy to make for the whole family.

I like either ribs and veggie or chicken and broccoli. For the ribs and veg, I eat at Sonny's and have their sweet and smoky ribs, yummy! I can eat 2 or 3 small ribs and about half the veggie. Chicken is my preferred Protein otherwise, especially if it's a rotisserie lemon pepper chicken! I can buy one on Monday and still be pulling meat off it on Friday. I just bought some single serve broc w/cheese and I'll heat up 1/4 of the single serve cup wiht my chicken. Yummy meal. :)

Thank you. I still have a hard time imagining you can eat ribs or spicy sauce like salsa after being sleeved. (I am not there yet) . Some foods frighten me to think about like popcorn and I love that now!

Haha, I love spicy food. I can't imagine a world without. Gotta love a healed stomach. I just can't do ground beef anymore. It tears me up.

I am so glad I can still eat spicy food! I was finally feeling "human" again tonight after over a month of being sick with gastrointestinal problems, so we splurged and went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Eating slowly, I was able to eat one mozzarella stick (appetizer), 5 chicken wings (30 grams Protein, woot!) and I picked at a few of my daughter's french fries. Now, mind you, I was extremely full after this and probably overdid it just a bit, but I took my time and enjoyed every bite of it.

Normally at that restaurant I do the naked tenders with side dipping sauce and a small salad, but the celebration tonight was really nice, and a great treat to have for a change.

I'm glad I still like chicken, it's honestly my all-time go-to food. You can't really beat the Protein it packs without much fat or calories. I've gotten very creative with how I prepare it, though. :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
