you cant think about food the same way after surgery...............food is fuel, a necessary nutrient for healing, weightloss and maintainance....

Go with a turkey or chicken burger and lowfat cheese........no bread! Change your thought process on food! Think of how to make your favorite stuff BETTER, less fat and calories....its kind of fun!

Good Luck.

I had my first social lunch and just said that I was watching my diet and had a Protein Shake so i wasn't very hungry, I then took the dessert to go and gave it to one of my kids (mini dessert from Olive Garden). This seemed to make it seem normal and no one asked questions.

Before and after surgery, I hate when people are concerned about what I'm eating!

It's weird huh?? My husbands best friend was sitting across from me and kept putting his fork across the table to and was trying to get me to eat bites of his cake!! I felt bad because it seemed to make him sad that I wouldn't ... Finally I got up to to the other side of the room because a friend had a baby and I was going to steal it (not to eat it FYRE) but damn if they weren't feeding that baby cake! 0_o

Then being on this website is like a ticking time bomb for you....and don't even think about MyFitnessPal. I got a PM the other day on there because someone noticed I ate a kit kat. Holy Jeeez....the kit kat police.

If you got that kind of free time on your hands I could stir up some controversy here for you. I don't mind.

Glad I don't have any MFP friends.

I am on MFP and am honest about what I eat. So if I eat something I shouldn't, so be it!!! I'm an adult and can make my decisions. So far, I';m surprised something hasn't been said about my lack of exercise. Just not feeling great right now.

The thread that I about anything but cheese burgers. I am taking bets how long this thread lives. It covers everything! :)

If you are wanting the cheese for Protein, use 2% American or cheddar. I can/do eat about 3 oz of lean ground meat, I normally do not add a cheese slice just because I don't want the additional calories. If we are OUT, I might eat a bite with a bun, but normally, out or at home, I don't eat the bread. I dip in mustard, eat a pickle or two. So, I eat 'a hamburger' sans bun!! :)

      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.
