Mara005, I watched all your recipes and they look delicious. I am 9 days post op and can't have solids yet but will certainly make pizza-fied chicken when I can!

I miss pizza and italian bread...

Last night, my friends ordered a pizza and cinnamon sticks while we hung out. I had a few bites of pizza, and they went down okay, so I got careless and attempted a bite of a cinnamon stick. "NOPE!", said my band, in no uncertain terms!

bread does not work with a band, so I'm going to have to figure out other cinnamon-y Snacks. Garlic should be easy, though!

Nikils, here's a cinnamon-y snack you might try: a caramel rice cake (yummy by itself!) with cinnamon flavored Laughing Cow. You could sprinkle on more cinnamon if desired.

I bought a foreman grill but it was second hand so it has no instructions. Can you put frozen food and fresh veggies on it?

Fresh veggies yes. Frozen foods, I dont know sorry!

I FREAKIN LOVE PIZZA!!! Yea... i just figured out yesterday that bread is a no-no from now on. I can eat tiny amounts, like the crust from a pizza... but any more is pushing it. I have 4 cc in my band. I think one more fill and im good other wise i wont be able to eat. Im so used to just wolfing down food... half the battle is learning how to chew everything up really well and slowing it down.

      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.
