I try to always have home made hummus or bean dip to eat with "Marys gone crackers" healthy crackers or rice cakes, rice cheese, brown rice with veggies and broth...

Beans, nuts, and Protein Shakes for Snacks -- if that's what you meant by 'during the day'. :)

Is Gardein the company that makes the fake stuffed chicken breast? I bought it once at Whole Foods and it was so good and I can't find it anymore!

Also, I like the fake chicken by Quorn. They have "grilled chicken", "chicken cutlets" aka breaded chicken, and I think one stuffed with Gruyere cheese.

I'm not 100% vegan/vegetarian, I just hate chicken!

I eat lots of Beans and nuts. I probably eat too much cheese.I do love a Boca since its 21 grams of Protein but I avoid most of the soy stuff because its loaded with estrogen (cancer for us girls, man boobs for the boys)...I start every day with the Cosco Premier Protein shake fr 160cals and 30 grams of protein...

cheese is my weakness too! High in Protein, but also saturated fat. :(

I tried the vegan life for a year though, and I'm not giving up cheese again! Just have to enjoy it 'in moderation'. :P

I do. I am not SUPER strict about it though. I estimate as best I can, but I have other things to do with my time, too, so... http://www.loseit.com/ is a huge help in this area. They have an enormous food database.

Honestly, I can't stand warm cheese...which is good, because if I could take it everywhere with me I would eat it way more than I should! ;)

      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.
