Running Out of Options



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on June 27. PS-284, Surgery Date/Post liquid Fast-265, Today-248

I'm in Phase 4 and one week from Phase 5, when I can eat just about anything I want. I've been absolutely perfect up until now and I know it's because I'm ONE week from nuts, raw veggies, garden burgers, and bread that I'm ANXIOUS to eat these things now. I'm also running out of options and getting pretty bored. I had a garlic knot yesterday and it was SOOOOOOOOO good. Tolerated it fine.. .and I had some lettuce today.. just a little. But here's what my day consists of usually.

Breakfast is usually a 30 gram whey isolate shake

lunch is a Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice (don't know if I'm supposed to be eating these or not but when I don't cook, I have to eat something) or baked chicken and fish and a steamed veggie

Afternoon snack

Applesauce or pudding and another shake

dinner

More fish or chicken

steamed veggies

I'm BORED!!! HELP!

Ground turkey or chicken or beef? I love the chicken burgers with carmelized onions from Sam's Club ~ I can't remember the brand name but they are delish! I'm not up to that stage yet as I just entered the pureed stage. :-( I even love those black bean burger patties from Costco! They're very tasty! Also, how about grilling veggies after marinating in low cal Italian dressing? I love grilled veggies, especially zucchini & red peppers with just a tiny drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Hoping I can eat all that stuff soon! Especially before BBQ'ing season is over!

We usually do grilled chicken and veggies at the beginning of the week. Sliced up squash, zuchinni, and purple onion with balsamic vinegar and then grilled has been great! I also eat saltines with sandwich meat and cheese stacked. String cheese. The weight watchers ones only have 50 cals. Hummus. These are just a few ideas of the food I eat a lot! I know it can be hard to come up with different things.

My Breakfast today! post-50108-1381366843709_thumb.jpg it's a rolled omelette with spinach, sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese. You can find the recipe on Pintrest! You can put anything you want in it, using the egg recipe ad the base. It reheats really well too! My turkey bacon is 6g Protein per slice from Trader Joe's. You can find lots of great recipes on Pintrest!

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I made ground turkey and ground chicken Italian meatballs a few days ago, with wheat Pasta and Newman's Own Marinara! Phoenix79... thanks for posting a pic of your Breakfast. That omelet looks amazing. I don't use my Pintrest account, but you've given me a reason to. Thanks again!

      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!
