A friend of mine also gave me this recipe idea if you like Mexican food.

Mix a 1/2 cup of fat free refried Beans with a lilttle taco seasoning. Then put it in a small container. Sprinkle a little fat free cheese on top. When you are ready to eat, pop it in the microwave to melt the cheese on top. Delicious!! And if you are a sour cream eater you could put a little dollop of that on it too.

This is great for something quick you can pack to take with you to work too.

Totally normal. When you switch from liquids to real food the weight lose slows down. I actually gained 5 pounds that week.

Yes, I have for the most oart, Ive had egg salad, chicken salad (pureed chicken), maryland crab Soup liquified, and turkey wings and green Beans (blended), All so tasty with no starches. I used low fat mayo for the sides, and I used a little creamy ceaser dressing (1 gram of carb) for the chicken salad. It all taste so good so I dont feel like im missing out, except when I heat up spagetti or gave my kids some pizza, that just seem to call me, so I will be trying your recipe to curb those cravings for italian food.

it seemed like I gained 2 but it keeps coming and going. Honestly, it scared me into thinking this band wouldnt work, like my body has hit a plateau and is accustomed to where I am (only 17 pounds lighter) so is this where the 1-2 pound per week weight loss starts?

      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.
