Do you have a favorite food as a "sleever?"



Recommended Posts

Depending on what stage you're at, do you have a favorite food?

I'm on full liquids, but one of my favorites has to be: 3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes, 1 tablespoons of melted shredded cheese, and 1 tablespoons of Tomato sauce. Soooooo tasty!!!

Clear liquids: Sleepy Time Tea

Full liquids: Greek Yogurt thinned with Water and sweetened with Splenda

Early restaurant meal: Crab cocktail

First veggie favorite: frozen mixed veggies

Nowadays I don't really have a favorite. I rotate among a pretty wide array of Proteins, veggies, fruits, and whole grains.

I don't know what stage exactly I'm on yet but my favorite food right now is salmon sashimi. I LOVE IT! I did not like sashimi before surgery but now, dipped in some soy sauce, I'm in heaven. :)

Second favorite, though not asked, is chicken Soup (made with mixed vegetables, lots of great seasonings, and a little gravy).

I have always liked seafood, but since I've been on a regular diet, I cannot get enough king or snow crab legs. Such a yummy treat and high in Protein, too.

When I was on mushies I loved refried Beans cheese and salsa, I still eat that sometimes.6 months out, Now I love good grilled chicken with Cavenders seasonings or steak. Very little amounts but it makes my mouth Water thinking about it!

Last night we had baked salmon, mixed veggies (bok choi, zucchini, squash and chinese cabbage) and some whole grain brown rice. Yes, I'd have to say this is my favorite.

My tastes truly have changed a lot. I do crave bad things but I end up feeling sick when I eat them. Yes, I eat bad stuff... I'm not perfect. ;-) But, I really do love and crave good healthy and nutritious food now more than ever.

Pre-op I hated cottage cheese and now I can't get enough. Darigold pineapple cottage cheese mixed with black cherry Greek yogurt... I could live off it!

Question? How do you cook bok choy? I have always wanted to try it but I'm clueless as to how to cook it

Sometimes I will boil it, just like spinach. If you get the large size cut them up a bit smaller. The end part looks like celery, I cut that up the same. When I do mixed veggies I'll do it as a stir fry using EVOO. Don't need a lot because it creates it's own juices too. :)

Clear: sugar free Gatoraid

Full: 6 Star whey Isloate chocolate Protein mixed with Water and heavy cream

Mushy: Black refried Beans, pineapple salsa, chipotle aioli, and goat cheese mixture.

Now: Basil Fried Rice-but instead of rice I make cauliflower rice(I cut carbs/sugars). It is amazing and filling. Below is the you tube video telling you how to make it.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
