      What does your surgeon allow? Mine allowed one cup of veggies a day, (non starchy veggies), and a half cup of low fat cottage cheese or one cup of yogurt. I was also allowed decaffeinated beverages such as decaf coffee and decaf tea. I found that International Delight makes a sugar free/decaf powder to add to hot water that makes a French vanilla latte and that really took hunger pangs away plus it wasn't too sweet. You get really sick of sweetness really fast on this diet because everything is fruit flavored. I preferred the broth from Mrs Grass soup when I needed something savory. During the first five days of the diet I would put my cup of veggies into my broth to make a "soup" and I would eat that when my family ate. It felt like a real meal. I lived for my cottage cheese between meals, I'm not a yogurt eater in any way so the cottage cheese was my BFF. I put salt and pepper or other spices on that to give it flavor and make it savory. Also, I used PB2, powdered peanut butter, if you have never heard of it, you can find it near the peanut butter in most stores or online. It adds a decent amount of protein to your shakes and makes them taste like peanut butter. I added it to a chocolate shake and it tasted like a liquid peanut butter cup!

      Right now it is 4 protein shakes. Small salad for lunch. No cheese or croutons. Then a freezer meal like Lean Cuisine for dinner.
