Yes, I know what you mean about watching what you eat. Christmas won't be bad for me as I'll be post op and probably having soup and maybe a bite of mashed potatoes! But, I'm sitting here talking to myself this morning about how I'm going to avoid chips and salsa today when we take a coworker to lunch for her retirement. I will because I know I have to, but why did she have to pick mexican food? This is a girl who always PICKS SALAD!!!! I'm doing well on the preop diet though. I may have more than five ounces of meat on some days, but I'm holding fast to the one meal with meat and veggies only, and I've been having about two protein (didn't want icky slim fast!!) shakes a day and substituting v8 juice or broth for the other drinks. I'm not a big sweet tooth. I found a shake at Costco called Premier that is prepackaged and not bad. One of the other sleeve patients had one at the support group. They pack 30 grams of protein in 11 ounces, so that's good!
