For my consumption? I usually keep the following on hand:

Inspire whey Protein powder

PURE whey Protein Powder

a variety of beans/legumes

tuna packed in Water

Crystal Light peach iced tea mix

In the fridge:

smoked salmon

cheese

turkey breast

lettuce and spinach

shredded broccoli slaw mix

other veggies

shredded cabbage

Ken's Steakhouse Light Asian Sesame dressing

berries, seasonal fruits

chicken-black bean chili

Pasta e fagioli Soup, made without the Pasta (so, basically, a tomato-based bean soup)

In the freezer:

skinless, boneless chicken breast (which I eat far less often now that I have restriction)

ground beef

tilapia

mahi mahi

tuna steaks

salmon

shrimp

scallops

cod

boneless pork chops

tenderloin of pork

Basically, I eat 2-4 ounces of Protein (lean meat, poultry, fish or a combo of legumes and a little cheese) at each meal, plus nonstarchy veggies. I also have an occasional fruit (though I like veggies tons more, and lean toward them). I eat veggies as Snacks, too, when I'm hungry between meals.

There's other stuff in the house for my family---breads, pastas, rices, and so on.

Betsy...don't you love the Ken's Asian light salad dressing?! It has been a staple in my house for years now!

I have a lot of the same items that Betsy has in her fridge. Of course plenty of different things too because I am WAY pre surgery. However type of food is not really my issue as I eat pretty well. It is the quantity for me! :)

What's in my fridge? Lots of leftovers, lol! I usually keep lots of Water (with Crystal Light mixed in), Greek yogurt, cheese stix (not all for me, my 2 year old lives off those) and Snacks for Daddy and son (usually regular pudding, kiddie yogurt and applesauce). I don't keep a lot of sugar-free pudding in the fridge. I'll eat most of it in one day. I try to keep fresh fruit around but not too much since I don't eat a lot of it. I keep some frozen fruit, frozen salmon patties and whatever I think we will eat for supper in the freezer. I try to keep lots of canned tuna and salmon in the cupboard because I love those.

It's thicker than regular yogurt and not as sweet. I usually add Splenda to sweeten it unless it's the fruit variety.

      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.
