I'm in Scotland too. banded on 10.01.2012. yet to have my first fill, so not lost a huge deal as yet (16 - 20lbs post op, 40lbs in total).

Would be great to hear tips from the UK as the US and OZ have such different food options.

Some of the foods i eat are :

Total 0% greek yoghurt + teaspoon maple Syrup

Smoked salmon

Black pepper ryvita

Fruity ryvita

Weight watchers Tomato Soup ( other flavours are ugh )

chicken with green veg

Sea bass or any other white fish.

Hartleys sugar free jelly _+ a few berries ( i make up 2 pints at a time so u can snack on it too )

I make my own green veg Soup which i have every lunchtime ( broccoli cauliflour and peas )

I make my own oat rolls (adapted a Nigela recipe )

dont do any food which is white like bread, rice, potatoes..

I add oat bran to yoghurt sometimes if i am hungry and need a snack to last a bit longer ..

I have roast beef sundays with green veg.. very thin sliced tho

Tea or coffee when i want with skimmed milk ..

I eat around a 1000 calories a day but its pretty normal type food really ..

Hope this helps radpad :)

      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.
