I'm thinking illbe ok as for my personal eating as I'll eat before going but I dont know what to cook. I have forgotten how to cook non- sleeve! Help!

What about a Pasta salad? Throw together corkscrew pasta (rotini?) with cut up tomatoes, cucumbers and throw in a bottle of the McCormick spice salad supreme and a bottle of wishbone Italian.

Or go to the supermarket and buy an already made whatever.

How about bringing fruit (like grapes and watermelon), or hummus and carrots (or pita chips)?

What about some cut up fruit? I find that I am drawn to fruits now and you might also be able to eat some fruit too. :)

I'm bring zucchini tots (from skinnytaste) and a WW dessert made with sugar free angel food cake! I figure I have to bring things I can eat because I know most will not. I have to have SOMETHING!

      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.
