Bannana and Peanut Butter is good if your not looking for a real lowcarb diet. The all natural peanut butter is much better for you than the other type. Most peanut butter has lots of sugar added, and contains transfats- the worst kind of fat.

I snack on nuts a lot- I measure out 1/4 cup of almonds, or peanuts or chashews. Like you, I eat cheese.< /p>

For meals I stick with a lean protien and veggies. I love perdue perfect portion chicken breasts. They come in different flavors. They are individually wrappped so I put the bag in the freezer and defrost one at a time (I live alone). I also like marinated pork loin. Again, comes in different flavors. You just bake it in the oven for about 40 minutes. Hope this helps. Good luck!

For a while, my "go to" snack was Turkey sandwich meat (1 serving) with laughing cow cheese spread on it and rolled up. It's high Protein and filling. Lately, I've been on a Greek yogurt or lowfat string cheese kick. I don't have Snacks every day but if I do I try to make sure it has a good amount of protein.

I eat a lot of nuts (cashews and almonds) and low fat string cheese. I love Laughing Cow cheese, I'll have to try it on Turkey rolled up, that sounds so yummy!

      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.
