You're welcome, Carol.

Paula - I know!! I went to Chili's with a friend yesterday and after a long and painful process of decision making I decided to have my old favorite, the Crispy chicken salad. It arrived. It was HUGE! And I ended up picking off the crunchy outside of the fried chicken strips, which is what I used to love about the dish. I ate a very tiny bit of it and took the rest with me in a box. I was out all day taking pictures so it all went bad. And boy am I glad! I looked it up and that innocent looking salad has 850 calories!!! OMG! I docked myself 500 calories for what I ate, just to teach myself a lesson! *laughs*

PNut,

This is one of my favorite dishes at Chili's but I always ask them to make it with Grilled Chicken. I've done this at several different restaurants and they have no problem with it. I haven't had it since banding though.

Audra, I should have done that but I was after that fried chicken! LOL! The thing is, I ended up peeling most of that off of the chicken anyway. It just doesn't hold the same appeal for me that it used to. My friend got the Carribean Chicken salad - grilled chicken and it was half the calories! So yup, grilled would have been better. Good think I could only eat about 1/8th of that huh?

      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.
