Breakfast - whey Protein shake with instant coffee :)

lunch - wheat spaghetti with low fat sauce and a touch of cheese

Afternoon snack - WW string cheese

dinner - usually a casserole my sister fixes from Sparkpeople (low fat - high protein)

Right before bed, I have a little cottage cheese because I'm hypoglycemic and will get sick if I don't.

Omg I think I'm way out of whack or something everyone of y'all eat way more than I do :( for breakfast I eat a egg cheese and sausage tortilla thing. Then most days I skip lunch if I do eat lunch its a lean cuisine then dinner I eat either pieces of a whole chicken I cook in the crockpot or I eat steak with brocolli and cheese but I only eat like 6 bites of dinner then I'm done. The chicken in the crockpot is the only chicken I have found I can eat since it sits in a cup of Water and cooks so its rly rly moist to where it just falls apart. Maybe I should try eating more idk

Well, everyones different... If you are having trouble getting Protein down are you maybe too tight? Everyone eats different. I get about 4oz of Protein per meal, then if i can fit in anything else I add that in.

Well dry chicken just won't stay down idk why everything else is perfectly fine. It doesn't matter if I chew dry chicken 50 times its coming back up its feels as if it sits in the back of my throat like I can't swallow it. I do drink Protein Shakes to try to get enough Protein in but I rly doubt I even get enough calories prolly like 600 a day if that

Great ideas! I seem to get stuck in a rut some weeks, and it seems like I eat the same thing over and over.

Breakfast: Click Mocha Protein shake (blended with 12 oz. Water and ice) -- it gets me going in the morning! :)

Snack: Chobani Greek yogurt (if I'm hungry)

Lunch: salad [5 oz. grilled chicken, 2% cheddar cheese (1 oz.), baby spinach (2 cups), and light ranch salad dressing]

Snack: 11 Newman's Own Hi-Protein pretzels with Babybel Light cheese

Dinner: Baked chicken breast (5 oz), steamed zucchini/yellow squash with a little lemon pepper

Breakfast:

I had 2 eggs sunny side up, with 1 light english muffin

Lunch:

Should be the left over chicken salad in my fridge with 2 flat bread crackers

dinner

Either a lean cuisine pizza (omg these are good I'm obsessed with them), or 4 turkey meatballs with mozzarella cheese and marinara

and knowing me, probably a stop for some Pinkberry somewhere in there :D

Do you eat the entire lean cuisine pizza? those are my favorite!!

      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.
