Need food advice



Recommended Posts

I'm going cross-country skiing this weekend and want to take a hearty Soup that wont be too hard on my stomach. I'm a little less concerned about calories for that day since I'll be burning a ton. Plus, I've been feeling a little low blood sugary lately, I don't want to pass out in the woods with nobody around! FYI, I'm 5 wks 2 days PO.

Thanks!

Your better option is to take chili! If you make the base with blended black Beans and 96% lean ground beef you have a super Protein packed meal that's low in calories.

I was going to say chili as well. Another would be a thick bean soup/stew. Yumm!

I couldn't handle chili at five weeks out. I would do a shredded chicken in broth, with a little rice, then mostly puree the whole lot. Or maybe a creamy, cheesy Soup with some shredded chicken.

Don't overdo! Be careful.

I make an easy chili for my family:

1pound ground turkey

I red bell pepper chopped

1 green bell pepper chopped

1onion chopped

I small can Tomato paste

1 can diced tomatoes

2 cans black Beans

1 can chicken stock

a handful of chili powder to taste

And garlic powder, salt, pepper..or if I'm feeling even more lazy I just use a packet of chili spices and disregard the directions on it!

Brown the turkey I'm a big pot

Dump the rest in and cook until peppers are tender :)

I always made chili with ground beef cause my husband loves it, but I didn't care for it. Yesterday I made it with turkey and it was really good! Who knew! LOL

I have a question I am 15 days out from surgery can I have cottage cheese. I am desperate only liquids for another week I don't know if I can do it

Honestly it depends on what your doctor allows. I was allowed sugar free popsicles and sugar free pudding, yogurt, added it mash potatoes and broth but every doctor is different.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
