Chipotle chicken bol, no rice, with green chile salsa and easy on the sour cream/cheese.

Jose Pepper's Pollo Magnifico (lunch portion, and I box 60% of it up) - hold the tortilla, double rice instead of rice & Beans.

Today it's turkey pepperoni and cottage cheese - I like putting the cottage cheese on the pepperoni "chips" and eating them together, mmm.

tuna wrap, Soup or cottage cheese and fruit. I never (well hardly ever) ate cottage cheese before banding but I love it now. It's got lots of Protein, easy to make, don't have to worry about hurrying to finish eating before I have to go back to work.

I still struggle, i just plain dont like lunch unless someone makes it for me and puts it in front of me. Not fond of sandwiches at all.

I've been making more of an effort lately - Soup and a bread roll, or a lean cuisine (which actually arent bad, I have a phobia of these things, I feel like I"m going to die of salt and MSG poisoning). They're not fresh and healthy like a salad but they're better than grazing on crap all day which is generally the alternative.

I like toasted sandwiches, but I like them full of salami and cheese, so probably not a good idea.

My favorite bandster lunch is Olive Garden salad, dressing on the side, one breadstick and a to go cup for my raspberry lemonade that I'll have to enjoy later or I take a sip if the breadstick needs a little help going 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.
