I get to start on Tuesday. I love fish & costco has a really large selection of good quality frozen fish. I had my husband just go down the line and get me a box of each. So i have tilapia w pesto, salmon in a sauce, mahi mahi, all kinds of goodie. They are each individually wrapped so i take one out and defrost in frig overnight or run the bag under cold Water for a few minutes. The fish can be grilled, mircowaved, pan fried or baked, so it really creates quite a variety.

Of course, we spent a couple $100, but i figure each fish serving will feed me at least twice, so i'm set for awhile!

And we also got eggs, cheeses, refried Beans, denser Soups, tuna, cans of crab, cans of salmon, and some frozen veggies. So I think I'm good for awhile.

My first meal is going to be an omelete with cheese & maybe refried beans. The size I used to make will prob feed me for a week! I just realized i'll need to figure out a whole new way to cook. This is such a new & exciting time!!

My first meal was a one egg omelette with sharp cheese - think I made it through about 1/4th of it and was stuffed to the gils and in heaven lol. Ate lots of eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, refried Beans, chicken, tuna, and eggs salad - chopped very fine. chicken in the crock pot is nice as it stays very moist. another favorite is a slice of avocado wrapped in a bit of deli turkey - delish!

Sometimes when I get tired of eating the same old thing I will pick up some lean cuisines or Smart ones frozen dinners (only the ones with meat and vegetables - i dont do rice, Pasta, or much in the way of potatoes during this phase of my life - maybe when i get to goal) One of those dinners can last me 3-4 meals dpeneding on what it is. Same thing with a can of refired beans - 4-5 meals.

I loooove Soup but it can be a bit sliderish for me - as can the beans once I got onto dense solids. The three turkey meatball dinner (add salsa or condiment of your choice) leaves me packed to the gills. I still do Protein Soups, shakes - love string cheese and bonbels - we go through a lot of those around our house, and canadian bacon.

      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.
