What Did You Eat At 4 Weeks?



Recommended Posts

This Wednesday I will be 4 weeks. I eat yogurt, the baked ricota dish, very small amounts of chicken, sf pudding/jello, cheese, pureed broccli Soup and I can eat about 1/2 of a scrambled egg. Nothing goes down easy...but I understand this process is slow and things get easier with time. What did everyone else eat at 4 weeks out?

I haven't tried the baked ricotta dish yet I'm sure it's because I don't care for ricotta but is it good? I have been eating tuna, chuck chicken in the can, spinach with Tomato and cuccumber. baked cod with zuccini and squash, and poached salmon. S/F pudding/jello/popsicle, and my Protein drinks, oh and I eat instant cream of wheat for Breakfast mixed with Water

refried Beans with cheese, any kind of Soup, half a scrambled egg and that is about it.but I never really ate much. I just never felt like it...now a days I eat way more..just remember to take it slow and do what your body wants. I personally think drinking is way more important at that time and taking your vits.

How many weeks out are you? The baked ricotra dish is good but not sure you will enjoy it as much if you are not a ricotra fan. The first time I made it, it seemed to thick for me so I added milk last time and it was better. Spinach with cucumber and tomatoes - how do you prepare that? I though fresh veggies was more for 3-4 months? Baked cod sounds great!!! I think ill try that this week :)

I agree. It is hard but it is necessary...at least until you can eat your protein. I HATED Protein Drinks of any kind..as soon as I could eat it..I never drank those horrible things again.

chicken wrapped in bacon with a little soft cheese in the middle, quiche (not the pastry) shrimp in Marie Rose sauce, omelettes, turkey bacon with roast Tomato and pineapple with some melted cheese on top, muller rice, crab sticks, smoked sausage, tuna mayo on cracker bread, laughing cow cheese on Melba toast, chunky Soups, tonight I had home made chicken and sweet corn soup with a little thread egg noodles through it and it was really yum. Home made weight watchers meals such as sweet n sour chicken, coq au vin, stuffed mushrooms, chicken spring rolls, also have had a beef olive but took off the roast beef and just ate the filling, coronation chicken, chicken curry ( no rice though) Hope this gives you some ideas. Just remember to chew everything into a paste and wait 20 secs between mouthfuls. My nut says if you have anything left on your plate after 20 mins then stop eating that's the end of that meal. Xxxx Hope this gives you some ideas. Xxxx

I got a rotisserie chicken & eat 2 oz portion with Fat free ranch or BBQ Sauce topped with cheese for additional Protein. Yum. Bought crab claw meat at costco& can eat up to 3 oz with 1 tbdp light Alfredo. Eggs-scrambled with 1 oz Parmesan (9 grams protein per serving). Tried ham today. I eat lunch meat & tuna a lot.

I will be 4 weeks on Dec 26th and I too am tried of Soups & chili's! Everyone has great tips, but I'm scared to eat solid foods now. I find it difficult to stay hydrated, and focus on Protein Shakes. Feeling kind of frustrated, but I have faith things will get easier!

I'm close to 3 weeks and I'm eating solids don't have a puree machine but i eat very slow and chew all my food which is still sort of weird to me. I never like Protein Shakes so i eat a lot of it in food. You will be surprised how much Protein you can eat in food. Good luck!

I will be 5 weeks out on Tuesday. Even though it gets a little bit boring, I take two 11 oz. shakes (5.5 oz. at a time) from costco, and that gets my 60 grams of Protein in everyday. I also focus on getting in my 64 ounces of fluids. I do it this way, that way anything else I eat is bonus protein. Right now I enjoy raw shrimp with a little lemon, tuna (no bread or crackers of any kind), canned and cooked chicken, and an over easy egg. The best snack I have found is a cheese stick. It's high in protein and only an ounce of food. I stay away from puddings, jellos, and popsicles, as they have no nutrition. I would rather use up that tummy space on foods that will help promote my weight loss. Plus, to me, those are Snacks that make me want more, so I choose to not even go there. Good luck to you!

Am I missing something? All these posts are listing foods that are not even close to the diet I have for four weeks. My diet says full liquids for 8 weeks post-op and some people are talking about meat and stuff. I don't get it.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
