What's for Dinner?



Recommended Posts

I was banded w/the Realize band on May 7th (yesterday!) I have found that I can drink quite easily and could probably eat chunky Soups like Clam Chowder if I tried. However, my doc recommended 2 weeks of liquid diet. Are there any others out there who have figured out what to eat in these next 2 weeks? I'm fine w/staying on liquids, but I sure would like to have some watery Cream of Wheat or chunkless soup..... Ideas?

Drinking is pretty easy for me too, and I feel like there is nothing I can't eat, but I'm not taking any chances so I'm sticking to my surgeon's diet.

Starting today (Day 4) I can now have the following in addition to my Water juice and Protein shakes....

V-8 Juice or Tomato Juice

Diet Splash

Strained thinned cream Soups (without meat or veggies)

Low fat yogart

I have found it very easy to get my protein in today by adding Unjury powered protein to my yogurt, and I'll probably add some non flavored Protein Powder to my Soup today.

On day 8 (only 4 more days) I can start having mushies.... I can't wait!!!!

I'm going to buy some of those Campbell's Soup at Hand. And I am actually going to try some baby food! I know that sounds crazy, but it's very liquidy and may taste good. Another thing I thought about is whipped cream with Jello. I'll get the lowest sugar/fat type of Coolwhip and see how that goes. another thing that sounds good is cheese soup. I'm going to just cruise through Walmart this afternoon and see what I can find! redface.gif

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
