Well this was a tough week. Transitioning from Liquid to Pureed diet. some things went down well others didn't and had to mix and match the diet to stay afloat.
On the positive side sleeping has improved and snoring has reduced drastically infact to negligible level. Sleep Apnea is nearly gone. Pain is leg has vanished and i am moving around better.
In India the choice of food and supplements is very sad and dependability is majorly on imported items which are stinkingly expensive. For e.g for Protein its just Protein X or Amway which is reasonably expensive. but if you look at Isopure or Whey Proteins they are too expensive. similarly the fruits and veggies available offer limited choice.
I would advice anyone going for Bariatric Surgery to ensure they have identified they diet resource for the first month and stock the things accordingly. Else it will be Maggie soups Egg whites and daal ka paani.
I am in process of compiling a list of foods available and recipes that went down well with me. Just need to get creative yourself and for a change start cooking.
So this week diet consisted of
Palak Paneer
Khichdi
Oats
Humus
Chickpeas
Re fried Kidney Beans
Black Chana Soup
Tea
Egg Whites
Mozzarella Cheese (just a pinch to add flavor)
Carrot Pudding
Idli with sambar
Well the weight loss has slowed now. This week lost just 5 pounds. Currrent weight 366 pounds. Total loss 38 pounds in 4 weeks. Hitting Gym this week.
