be careful with the chicken. I had 3 ounces of very moist chicken tenderloins in a cream cheese sauce on Sunday and paid for it for the next 2 hours. it didn't look like much' date=' but should have only had 2 ounces. thank goodness for the digital food scale I bought.[/quote']

They also sale the 2oz chicken tenderloins at Walmart individual packed which keeps them from freeze to bad

They have a digital scale at wal-mart that will let you weight your food on a plate or whatever. I think that is my favorite go to tool. This scale and my 8oz grab and go dishes. :)

Thanks I will try there next time I go

Been doing well on "real food" thus far (day 5) but today had a challenge with egg which I was surprised to have. But the upside is that I DEFINITELY know the feeling of full, and the NUT is correct, your whole meal can fit in the size of your palm. Still doing Protein Shake at night, sip sip sip Water all day. I can do this!

      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.
