What about some fresh fruit and vegetables? These are easy to pack and carry from home when you are stuck at work for such long hours.

My opinion is that you are drinking too much of your calories, no fresh fruits or veggies. Make a sandwich on toasted bread, or bring cold cuts or mixed tuna/chicken and put them on rice cakes or crackers. Try to stop drinking your meals and eat them, add more Protein and good luck

Try cottage cheese with that fruit!

I love cottage cheese with fruit and cinnamon . Yummy.

I agree, it looks like you need more fruits and veggies in your diet.

If you like chocolate try buying plain Greek yogurt and one box of instant Sugar Free Chocolate pudding mix. Mix the entire large container of plain Greek yogurt and the box of pudding. Then put it all back in the yogurt container. It has 23 g of Protein in one cup.... Of course I dont eat a cup. Kinda tastes like a "faux chocolate cheescake." I keep it in the fridge and have a little occassionally when I have the desire for a treat.

      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.
