Meals for one



Recommended Posts

I will be 3 weeks post op on Tuesday. I have been on liquids since surgery and can advance to soft solids on Tuesday. That means for Proteins i can have eggs, soft fish and ground meats. My husband is on his own diet and only drinks shakes for dinner. have been trying to wrap my brain around cooking for one. Then it came to me. I remembered seeing an egg pan somewhere and I thought it would be perfect for any portions of eggs or ground meats that I would be making for myself. Here is the link if anyone else is interested. Any one else used the egg pan? And did it help you not over portion your food?

I also got a small turner as well.

You'll probably only eat part of an egg for quite a while. This will be a good time to re-learn something....throw left overs away that aren't good re-heated. Throwing half an egg away was difficult at first, but not now. I threw perfectly good pizza away a month ago. Three pieces of home made that I did NOT want in the frig....so out it went. :) Very liberating!

I thought about getting a little egg pan but it doesn't bother me to use the big fry pan. It would be nicer to wash though!

Anyhooo.....my Surgeons instructions suggested something I really like. When you make food that is more then one or two servings freeze the rest in an ice cube tray. So far I have done this with sauces and gravies. After they are solid, pop them out into a freezer bag, then you aren't wasting most of a jar of spaghetti sauce or whatever.

It really is perfect for one egg! And small amounts of anything you want to cook with easy cleanup :)

I have seen little ramekins used to bake eggs with spinache veggies etc. looked good.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
