I just hit goal and now I am focusing on maintaining. I have stayed away from frozen meals and fast food, etc.

But now I need to be sure of Portion Control.< /span>

Anyone use the frozen meals in their diet. SmartOnes, Weight Watchers, Healthy Choice?

I had one tonight but I could not get it all down. that's not a complaint...I just want to make sure I get all my nutrition in. It was a Smart One Lasagna.

Congratulations!!! What a great accomplishment!

I love grandma's chicken and cheesy rice by Stouffers. It comes in a big size, and is about 4 meals. About 18-19 g Protein for 1 cup.

Sometimes if I don't have time to make lunch for work, I have a Lean Cuisine stash in the freezer. The herb chicken one is only 180 calories, 3 g of fat and 18 g of protein!!!!

I have them in the freezer for quick & easy lunches, but many times it is a chore to eat them since many consist of some sort of Pasta. It can take me 45 minutes and try and eat about 3/4 of one, so I don't bother much.

I try to limit too much "processed" food from my diet, but sometimes you just don't feel like preparing anything! Any they are handy! You may want to eat a smaller portion and load up on a small serving of cottage cheese or pudding fortified with an unflavored Protein to increase your Protein intake. Just a thought!

I dont eat them often because they are all high in carbohydates. But I have to admit that I love the Eating Right brand Butternut Squash Ravioli. Yum!

Sodium is another thing that has to be taken into account. It causes fat cells to hold Water and sugars as well as raising your blood pressure.

I think the Smart Ones and Healthy Choice dinners average about 600mgs each.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
