I don't go back to work for another 4 weeks but am wondering who out there has ideas on eating breakfast before work or during work. I start work at 5am n I go to lunch at 10:00 a.m. I have a 10 min break in between but I don't want to wait until 10 to eat breakfast. I would normally get hungry at about 7 am.

My work day starts at 6:30 am. I start with a 8 oz glass of skim milk first thing when I get up. I then have 16 oz of coffee (Black)on the 35 minute drive to work. Once I hit my desk I have a Protein Shake, about 10:00 I have a yopliat greek yogurt and eat lunch at noon. I am thinking of adding some cream of wheat or oatmeal in there somewhere, because I need more calories.

I also start work at 5am. I go back on Thursday (2 weeks po) I drink one cup of coffee on my way to work. I get my morning break around 7:45. I plan to eat then. If I get hungry before that time, I'm going to pack a Protein Bar :)

My Breakfast is almost always a greek yogurt, sometimes a protien bar. I'm not overly hungry in the AM.

Hi I start work at 2am, I have a Protein Shake on my way to work. I take a lunch to work every day. My first snack is 15 almonds at 430a. Than lunch around 7 or 8a, sugar free Jello and some Protein, and very little starch. I'm off at 10am, I eat a piece of fruit on my drive home. Than around 130pm I have a Greek yogurt. And finally I have diner at 430 or 5p..... And bed at 7p.... Now don't forget about my 45 minute workout too. So im good and tired at 7pm. Good luck to all on this journey. I get my first fill on the 4th of Feb, so wish me luck!

      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.
