I'm at a stand still about ideas of what to eat at my 6 wks post op. Any ideas?

My nutritionist said I'm not allowed steak for about a year! I love steak and corn and both aren't allowed 7 wks post op. A lot of people say jst to try a little. But I'm scared

@MrsG#1 I get why he said no to corn, doesn't digest properly, high carb...etc. But no steak? Maybe because it isn't lean enough? Are you not allowed any red meat? Weird.

Today I have 2 strips of bacon and 2 eggs scrambled for breakfast. (Spread out over an hour... took my sweet time because bacon...)

Had a protein shake for lunch. 50+g of protein.

Handful of almonds and a baby bell for snack

Chicken thigh bbq'd and 2 pickles for supper.

I'm craving crunch really bad right now as I type this... which sucks. But I'll eat a handful of sunflower seeds or something to kill it. Great source of protein apparently...

My calorie intake today is something around 900.

How far post op are you? I feel like I need crunch too. I jst started eating cucumbers with no peel. But I've been craving tortilla chips and salsa. ? But I have no idea when or if I'm allowed to eat tortilla chips. Or bread or any substitution for them. I was also told not nuts for awhile .

We had the same surgery date it looks like July 10th.

I made some gauc the other day and had a chip with it to taste... didn't kill me. But probably not the best idea nutritionally.

Some people I guess eat pork rinds. I can't do it. Not my thing. Luckily I have some almonds/cashews or sunflower seeds to help keep it at bay.

I had my surgery July 11th but so close. I'm still experimenting with foods. I will get it. I also heard people say they eat pork rinds. I wonder what the nutirtional value is. I want to try sunflower seeds maybe soon. Like I said I'm scared to eat .

What is you sort of puréed the steak? Maybe easier to digest!

Heads up. Just found these on Nature Box. Pork bar with 20g of protein. 110 cal. 3g sugar. 5g fat.

Little salty, but tasty. Not bad for $3.

I just ordered a bunch of them.

I loved bacon before VSG and somehow it is as if the VSG has elevated the bacon flavor to an even more superior deliciousness. I have a fried egg and two strips of bacon for breakfast every Saturday and I spend all week thinking about the bacon. Delicious bacon.

@Mersh are they like a jerky? And where do I get them?

@MrsG#1 go to NatureBox.com it's like a really thick piece of meat. Think granola bar size. Pretty tender. Easy protein for on the go.

I just noticed there is a referral thing where you can get free snacks and I can get a credit if you want to use it. Pm me an email address if you like. Why not get free stuff?

I really like protein on the go! Especially if it is not full of sugar and carbs! Thanks for the tip!

My surgeon said I could have steak at 4 weeks post op - inlaws were taking us out- I had filet and chewed the heck out of it and it was awesome!
Every plan is so different.
