Hi guys I thought I would start a thread on what everyone is eating and recipe ideas. Most of the people on this site are from America and their food is a little different from ours. So I will start. (I'm at work atm so I don't remember the calories and protein values.) Breakfast - 1/2 tin of baked beans or a scrambled egg. Morning tea - Musashi protein shake made up with 125 mils of Aldi's skim milk. I have one and a half scoops of mushashi in it and it is about 29 grams of protein I add 2 ice cubes cos I hate warm milk... Lunch - Usually tandoori chicken in a can from aldi's. 125 calories and 14.9 grams of protein. (I have a can with me!!) Some days I have crustless quiche. Afternoon tea - Don't always have something but if I do its a stick of cheese. You can get these from aldi also. 5 grams of protein.
Dinner - I seem to eat what ever I like these days. Steak and veg. chicken thigh. Mince in a sauce with veg. I have cooked stews in the slow cooker, these went down really well about a week or more ago. Now I can eat even the toughest bit of steak with no trouble. In addition to this I have 2 nutrichews a day, a 600 mil bottle of water with orange benefibre, a plain 600 mils of water and about 3-4 small cups of coffee per day. ( I got the small coffee mug from Sam's the Warehouse for about 2 dollars - perfect size to drink before it goes cold!) Would love to hear what everyone else has been doing for food!! Cheers Mobbsy -xx-

Hi Girls, I am sooooooo not eating anywhere near you guys. No wonder I am tired. Back at work this week and into long hours again!. Breakfast One coffee Optifast with 2 tsp of plain Benefiber, ice and 180 mls water. Sometimes add one scoop of Unflavoured Whey 100% protein powder as extra protein. Lunch 1 non flavoured low fat yoghurt, not keen on flavoured ones. Dinner 1/2 cup Soup of some kind or 1/2 cup of casserole or spag bol mince Snack 1 small non fat custard - that isnt every night. Plus about 1.5 - 2L water. Plus multivitamin etc I havent been tallying anything up since back at work. But it is one month post op today and I think I am on a soft diet from today, so will have to check out the diet sheets given to me. But I just dont feel like much and I know I am not at all organised. So this weekend will have to get my butt into gear. Lynette, love the tofu, pork etc yummo!
Just went out and bought 5 pieces of salmon sashami, some more protein! I could live on Japanese forever! Just realised might also be tired as may need some VitB12 and drink more water.

Amanda we are all different and our surgeons and dieticians give us different guidelines - or you could be like me and never do as your'e told LOL. It's best to follow what you have been told to eat.

Hi Girls This is the third time I have tried to post on here. Since the boy has moved back home, I can never get to the computer at home and the iPad is never charged up by the husband. So I am at work and doing this in my lunch time. I am so in awe of both of you, you are both organised and so well balanced in your diets. And also interesting foods. I am so boring and not at all interested in food. But I do find sometimes I feel abit hungry at lunch time, so will need to bring something other than yoghurt. Just focusing on getting the protein in, with shakes, extra scoop of protein, ricotta cheese, poached chicken and soup.About 60 gms/day I am not sure how much my tummy will hold, I will ask when I have my next appointment on the 18 September.But probably the same as you guys. Sharon, what do you do that involves shift work? How do you find that with organising meals. Keep up the good work!
I work for the Department of Juvenile Justice in a detention centre as a youth officer. They feed us there however I take a can of chicken, some pistachios or cheese and a bottle of water. Depending on what's on the menu I will either eat their food or my own. The other night the chef made apple crumble cheesecake for dessert the naughty man so I was compelled to have a small piece!! I'm naughty though Amanda and haven't followed the surgeons directions, I should still be on soft foods but I am sick of being restricted so much. I introduced other stuff slowly myself and there has been no complaints from my tummy or my taste buds ha ha. You could take a cheese stick to have at work, they have 5 grams of protein and are a satisfying snack I found when I was at your stage. Chews up easily.
Oh and todays menu: Breaky - small cup of coffee, egg on toast. (only ate about 1/4 of the toast). Lunch - Mini quiche, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, cheese and mayo. arvo tea - small amount of pistachios. Dinner - lamb cutlet, carrots, cauliflower and peas. Supper - protein shake. And of course the usual water with benefibre and my vitamins....

You gong girls seem to be able to eat everything any issues with the biscuits? And Mobbs I doubt that you would of had too many calories the only two things wud be good old freddo and maybe the biccies but still their not Gunna add that much difference so ur not being bad after all.

Hi girls I am having trouble staying logged on to this site it keeps throwing me out. My diet is shocking, as far as not eating a lot still on a lot of fluids and soft diet. Basically a shake in the morning at work. Then a yoghurt. Then maybe a skim cappuccino. Then a small tin of 4 bean mix by Edgell. Then for dinner, sometimes just a yoghurt or another shake. I am not big on dinner, never have been. But, just went out tonight with the girls from work and ordered a smoked salmon entree for my dinner. Everyone else had entree, main and some even had desert and coffee. I had no grog, just water and could only eat half of the salmon. I am having trouble trying to eat meat or tinned tuna, I just can't get it to go down. I feel like I am going to throw up and actually start to gag and have like a slimy throw up. Yuk!!!
Oh crap that doesn't sound good maybe you need to talk to your surgeon Amanda. Are you mixing the meat or tuna with mayo or a sauce? What about other soft foods any issues with them? I know I'm a couple weeks behind you but I'm starting to be able to eat the majority of food that I try. I would get through the soft stage n if ur still having issues then give him a call or have a chat next appointment.

Yes, I have tried mixing my meats - like, chicken, veal, tuna with a gravy/sauce and it is a little better, however still uncomfortable. But, I am getting in the vegetables! YAY! Today I had; Half a piece toast Scrambled eggs that lasted through from breakfast to after lunch. Skim cappuccino Coffee shake with extra scoop unflavoured protein powder 1 cup pumpkin soup Danone strawberry yoghurt. 2 pieces of cadburys chocolate Not enough water today"........ I will have to start to count the calories and protein! I am pretty slack. Honestly by the time I get home from work and care for the husband and do whatever else, I am to tired. That is another thing not getting any exercise. Oh, except on a weekend. Anyway, next Tuesday have a scheduled follow up appointment with the Dr and dietician, so will let them know. But I have read on here about others who are having trouble eating more solid food and some are a year out being Sleeved! Keep up the good work girls!
Hi Amanda your probably right n that u fall into that category that struggle with solids but do discuss it with ur team and see what they say. I haven't tried toast yet kinda not missing bread so I want to keep it that way. I have had scrambled egg actually two lol with a couple tablespoons of cottage cheese cooked in with them yum your diet still sounds pretty much fluid hope that changes for you and I haven't been exercising either maybe in the school holidays. Water is a struggle for me too I'm always trying something new to get it down, this week it's the Aldi's mizone flavoured sports water it's 750 Mls so I try n drink two plus a couple of mugs of tea. I use one of the weight loss apps to count calories n protein way lot easier. I hope ur hubby is ok it's such a terrible strain on you it's no wonder with work and a sick husband that u struggle. Neways take care hopefully it will all work out.

I think what I will have to do this weekend as I will have some time - make up some Bolognese Ragu, the boys can have it with pasta, but I will put some in containers and freeze, so I can easily pull out something and microwave for dinner. Today I have fallen into the easy trap of picking up some toast and a skim cappucino from the coffee shop downstairs. Ate half the toast over 3 hrs and sipped the coffee, but not alot of protein. The toast is soft and easy to eat, I didnt have any yoghurt at work! I suppose I could have bought some! Anyway, cant stand all this focus on food. I am hopeless when at work, GOD, 3 days a week would be bliss! I was reading this article in the newspaper and it was saying too much protein isnt good for us. But for us, our main focus is protein first, then veges and low carbs. I think it is a healtly option. Tonight we are going Japanese with friends, that is easy and my favourite. Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone what are you all eating now, its been awhile since you have posted. I am still struggling with food a typical day is Breaky poached egg with cruskit and a cup of tea or 1 up and go lunch 2 cruskits with ricotta cheese low fat dinner sweet corn chicken soup or cruskits with vegemite or small slice of quiche snacks mango Still struggling with meats usually will bring them up again due to pain
Hi Tyler I haven't been on here for awhile. My diet isn't great, as not really eating a lot. Breakfast is a Coffee Optifast shake with ice/ water and some Benefiber Small Skim Milk Cappucino mid morning. Lunch- small yoghurt, either plain or Flavoured and either half a banana or an apple or half a mango. Sometimes I have about a half or third of a wrap( chicken/salad) Dinner- whatever we are having but about a cup. Omelettes, BBQ, salads. Occasionally I have had a scoop of ice cream, small tub of custard. We usually go either to Italian or Japanese when going out, so have what I feel like, but can only manage tiny amounts. Usually I have seafood either raw or cooked. I take a multivitamin daily. If I eat too quick I feel like I want to throw up or just horribly uncomfortable and try burping lots. I just don't feel like eating that much and sometimes have to force myself or remind myself to eat. But try and get in as much protein as possible. Good luck!
Oh forgot to mention, can't seem to tolerate red meat much!
