Did you use regular semolina/white Pasta or did you use a whole wheat or other type of spaghetti? I am not eating much food at all although I have only run into one negative food (avocado). I have managed two turkey meatballs with sauce.

I used just regular spaghetti but i didn't realize i was supposed to be havng whole grain. I probably won't be having much Pasta anyway since my husband and I both can't stand whole wheat pasta!

When I make spaghetti & meatballs (either lean ground beef or turkey meatballs) for my family I try to eat 3 of the meatballs, a good serving of the sauce and just a tiny bite or two of the Pasta. The Pasta fills me up too quickly, and it's really empty carbs without any other significant nutritional value.

I'm not trying to be judgemental, but it's important to remember that just because you CAN eat something doesn't necessarily mean that you should. Stick to your dense Proteins, veggies, and watch the carbs as best you can. Some people have to stay extremely low-carb to continue losing, while I find I don't need to be quite as vigilant about avoiding the carbs - but even if you're not carb-intolerant, most carb-heavy foods will fill up your sleeve without giving you the Protein and other nutrients you need.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
