Do you have a favorite go-to post-sleeve food?



Recommended Posts

As time goes by, I find myself clinging to a few favorite foods over & over again. Some have more Protein than others, but still remain my "go-to" foods. Does anyone else feel the same way? Here are 2 of mine:

Cabbage Pork Vegetable Soup - pork maple ground sausage, onions, cabbage, canned & drained navy Beans, mixed veggies, low sodium vegetable & beef broth. Cook onions, add pork sausage. Drain, put back in pot. Add broth, veggies & navy Beans. Cook for 30 minutes. Add cabbage & cook an additional 15-20 minutes. The longer it cooks, the better the flavor (in my opinion). The pork sausage & combination broths give this Soup a very flavorful taste. I measure out 1 cup & freeze it for lunch or dinner.

Stouffer's Spinach Souffle - I split the package into 2 servings & it's more than enough as I add some type of a Protein to this (chicken or even turkey meatballs)

Any others out there?

Greek yogurt, low fat lunch meat and costco rotisserie chicken. I eat least one of these items and sometimes all three every day.

If I am in a hurry and don't want to cook, I mix a single serve tuna pack with some cottage cheese and sprinkle it with cayenne pepper and throw in a few pistachios for some crunch. Doesn't sound all that good but it is and has lot's of Protein.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
