4 weeks! What are you eating?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks, and wondering what everyone is eating at 4 weeks. I'm pretty strict on what foods to eat. Afraid to move on too fast. Any tips? On what your eating at 4 weeks. I did just start exercising..too

I'm 8 weeks out. at 4 weeks, I was still on soft/pureed foods...

I ate A LOT of hummus, cottage cheese, egg drop Soup from the local chinese place, and more hummus (hahaha).

If I went out to eat, I'd order a Soup (tomato bisque was one)...

I think I started on tuna at that point as well, mixed with a little mayo to keep it wet. Crab cakes that I made at home to keep the bread crumbs low, and of course Egg faces Ricotta bake!

Breakfast: Greek yogurt or Protein shake

Snack: Protein Bar

Lunch: cheese, turkey..or something similar.

Snack: peel - less apple or Protein Bar

dinner - seafood with a side of steamed veggies.

Next week I am going to try some fresh veggies and more fruit.< /p>

After the 22nd - will add in exercise. Now just a ton of walking.

At that point I was pureeing chicken and sour cream or chicken and cream of chicken a lot. I also really loved to puree the chicken or turkey chili from Trader Joe's. Sooo yummy and quite a bit of Protein. For something sweeter, I would puree pumpkin and greek yogurt or pumpkin and cottage cheese (personal favorite) with some cinnamon. Delish.

I'm eating scrambled eggs, cheese, deli turkey, Beans, baked fish, tuna, and chili. There's more on my list to try as I work towards solid foods.

Wow! I am 3 1/2 wks out and still on soft foods Next Thursday, I start Stage 3 and can add deli meat, tuna, canned fruits in juice or light Syrup, veggies cooked well enough to be pierced by a fork. Interesting how different the various bariatric centers advise us. Mine is very cautious, apparently. I won't be on Stage 4 till mid-August.

I'm in my 4th week too! I'm eating soft foods like eggs, cheese, greek yogurt, Peanut Butter, tuna salad, black Beans, and still having Protein shakes to get me to my goal! I also tried a chicken casserole and pureed the meat - that worked okay. Just don't much like the consistency of pureed meat!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
