So what's on the menu for today?

For dinner we are having chili I had in the freezer. They can have that or frito chili pie. For lunch since I am on my own and hubs isn't home today I am having white Beans and ham . It's c-c-c-old outside and it sounded wonderful to me. :D I love having stuff in the freezer, makes life so much easier.

So what's everyone else having?

I work at a hospital and have the pleasure(?) of a full-service cafeteria for lunch. Lately I've been really enjoying a cottage cheese salad with sliced chicken breast and a hard boiled egg mixed in, all lightly topped with fresh salsa. It goes down easy, is filling, and is a refreshing meal.

I'm a bit chilly today too so for lunch I'm having a 1/2 can of Hormel Turkey Chili (just found it at the store this weekend and I love it). For dinner I am thinking about having grilled grouper and sauteed veggies. Breakfast was 2 hard boiled eggs...not sure about Snacks yet - I will figure that part out as I go along.

Breakfast was a sugar free carnation instant made with skim milk. I am not much of a breakfast person on weekday morning so I find this to be the easiest!!! Mid morning I had a small banana.

Now for lunch I am sitting at my desk eating 2 oz of tuna sparked with fat free cesear dressing, garlic powder and minced onion, no fat cottage cheese and 5 organic wheat crackers finishes up my 131 calorie meal.

I will have a reduced sodium V-8 and fat free pudding for a snack and dinner tonight will be a Boca burger (meatless flame broiled variety) and some sort of veggtable.

I tend to go simple during the week.... its just easier for me.

Try grating a zucchini and using it in place of the Pasta. That way you get your veggie and a semblance of pasta. Spaghetti squash works well too.

Today's menu is looking something like this:

B: 1/4 cup Egg Beaters with 4 slices of turkey bacon

L: Leftover chicken breast cooked with salsa, taco seasoning, and added taco sauce to moisten it.

D: Probably the same as lunch since I hate two portions left. If not, I will pop open a can of chicken, add a dab of Texas Pete Wing Sauce, Ranch Dressing, and shredded cheese. Then, mocrowave it for a minute and a half.

      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.
