Confession and suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Okay so from week 8-14 I was really nauseas - zofran didnt help and all food really grossed me out. I have not been able to eat meat but everything really grossed me out--- anyway- some days I drank calories just to have calories. And I ate some crackers and chips just to eat something and it didn't make me super nauseas-- I am not setting up good food habits and I KNOW this- I just felt so badly and couldn't get anything in- - anyway- I am coming out of that yeah! - but still am not really handling meat well. My question is- can I get some suggestions for good foods I can eat that isn't meat or vegetables- unfortunately I am not back on salads yet either and the only vegetables I really like are the starchy ones. I was really counting on Protein and meat to be my big option. So what are some good healthy things I can eat that will

Keep me on track .

Beans - eggs- any other groundbreaking ideas ;)

soft white fish, shrimp, maybe crab (crab can be hard to digest).

What are your food stages?

I hate Beans and eggs are a toss up on making me sick or not so I rarely eat them.

What meat are you have issues with specifically?

My hat is off to you for hanging in there with such severe reactions. I have not had surgery, but I know from past experience when I make wrong choices, I beat up myself... Without mercy. I get very little done. Please don't do like I do... learn from your past choices. I believe in you. You can turn this around. "OzRoo" gave you some great suggestions. I would call your team for help soon. And look up the site Eggface. I think you will find a lot of useful information.

I eat a ton of sashimi and poke. I also love palak paneer. I also make a fake bibimbap that is delicious. I just follow the regular recipe but replace rice with riced cauliflower. The egg adds creaminess and Protein.

Thank you all guys! . I really wish I liked fish -- but sadly I just hate it- always have .

My diet from dr was normal food at 3 weeks! I couldn't do that and did liquids for longer and then actually went back to Clear Liquids .

I had a few bites of turkey actually. All red meat is bad for my stomach. Haven't had chicken in awhile because it hurt so badly.

Thanks again- I appreciate yall

      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.

        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.

      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!!
