Okay' date=' here's my delima: I cannot stand hamburger meat since surgery, chicken gets stuck unless it's canned and I make chicken salad, I eat a lot of fish (and I'm getting tired of it), shaved turkey or ham, cheese (low fat), cottage cheese, I may eat a half of an 8" Quesadilla with low fat cheese in it. I'm getting burned out on my meals as I eat these things every day. I was wondering how you guys get your Protein in in other ways besides meat? I went to the dr last week and had .25cc's removed, he thought I was too tight, I'm 3 months post op by the way and before he came in his nurse blessed me out over drinking Protein shakes. I only drink them occassionally like before church when I'm in a hurry and it's simple and quick but she said that the only time I should be drinking them was pre op and post op. I felt like a scolded child, guess I should have said something to the dr but didn't. He such a sweetie and great bedside manner. Anyway, off the subject, back at hand, I haven't tackled pork chops or steak, scared to as if chicken gets stuck so will that. Open for suggestions. thx

Everyone has given you some awsome suggestions. I have one more to add. Just before I started my 2wk preop diet (4 wks ago) I purchased a digital pressure cooker. BEST KITCHEN GADGET I EVER BOUGHT! I made curry short ribs that literally fell apart. My point is I think its better than the slow cooker, which I have, and extremely fast. May eliminate some of that chewing you are having a problem with. My best friend had band surg and gastric sleeve and told me her saving grace is her pressure cooker. So I purchased my own. Please try it.

Oh my goodness, you guys are so awesome! I'm overwhelmed with suggestions. Yes I had a bowl of pinto Beans at Cracker Barrel this afternoon and brought half home, woohoo. I added onion and relish to it and boy was it yummy. Headed back there for a family reunion this coming Saturday and was wondering what I could eat so now I know, another bowl of beans...ha! Great Protein and Fiber. I do love beans of any kind. I do have to admit, I think I will try a small Wendy's chili soon, I know I have sworn off hamburger but it is in tiny pieces in the chili there and not much chewing other than the beans so maybe it won't gross me out too much and I always have loved their chili. I may have to eat it with a fork if it's too soupy as I want the nutritional factor of protein and not the liquid. We'll see. The part of hamburger meat I am grossed out about is chewing to oblivion and running into something hard, ew, it just turns my stomach, even the lean Laura's meat at the grocery and Taco Bell burrito with beans. Thanks again to all of you. :D

Green Beans, kidney beans& great northern Beans, or any bean you like doesn't really matter,chopped onion. I use Farmers Boy lite dressing or just some oil & vinegar. Cover & refrigerate over night. Mmmm I'm making myself hungry!

      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.
