Hormel 60 second meal



Recommended Posts

I went shopping today. I needed to restock on my liquid diet stuff. I walked the isles and if I seen Protein I picked it up and read it. I found these 60 second dinners by Hormel. They range from 10 to 18 grams of protein and low in calories. I was wondering if it would be good to eat once I transition into soft foods. I'll post pic in comments.

So long as the fat and carbs are okay then yes! Absolutely! You're going to get sick of cooking for 5-6 meals a day! Trust me! My NUT has no problem with stuff like that or frozen dinners as long as they are high in Protein and low in fat, sugars, and carbs.

I used some of those meals at first . They were 60 second meals but s different package. One meal lasted me for 3-4. Meals. Lol . It was just easier than constant cooking and I had s few bites every 2-3 hours

My NUT says I shouldn't be eating anything with more than 5-6 grams of sugar in it per serving with the exception of milk. I will be having the gastric bypass if I'm lucky. If not, then the sleeve, but he said 5-6 grams of sugar is a good rule of thumb.

If I am reading that label right, it says 16 grams of Protein and 350 calories? That isn't really a great source of protein. The gram to calorie exchange for protein is 1 gram = 4 calories. Carbs are the same but fat is 1 gram = 9 calories. So in this example, only 64 calories are from protein. I am betting the rest is from fat. There might be some potato in there for cabs, but I don't see it in the picture.

My rule of thumb is try and get the calories to be a factor of 10 of the protein grams. If something has 300 calories, I'd like the protein content to be close to 30 grams (or at least close). Many of the greek yogurts meet that metric, as does cottage cheese. I have a pouch of tuna at my desk now with 90 calories and 16 grams of protein! Fish is a powerhouse in regards to protein to calories.

Oh, I forgot to mention the sodium content. Prior to my surgery I had high blood pressure. I had a 20 year habit of avoiding salt. Post op, I have gone the other way and now have been told by my surgeon & PCP to start salting my food! Turns out when you eat clean you aren't taking in anywhere near the sodium content as when you live off of fast food and diet pop.

My NUT said fat content for processed/convenience foods shouldn't be more than 6,2,1 (6 gm total, 2 gm Saturated and 1 gm Trans-fat) . Sugar shouldn't be more than 6 grams and should not be in the first 5 ingredients listed.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
