I will be relased to a regular diet in a couple of weeks so I have been looking into some recipes that I can cook from places like Weight Watchers and Cooking Light. Some of the recipes call for bread crumbs or panko. I know a lot of you say you have trouble with eating bread but how about bread crumbs or panko? Also, how do you handle the skin on the chicken. Do you eat it or take it off? Do you cook with it on? I know on Atkins it is ok to eat the skin and since we are basically on a form of Atkins, is it okay?

I have no problem with bread crumbs or panko but i do try to avoid both. I pull the skin off of the chicken (if i am eating out) and if i am cooking i always buy skinless.

I have no problems with bread crumbs, Panko or chicken skin.

I am really good at sticking to no more than 2 oz of Protein (or anything solid for that matter) at each meal that I don't sweat the carbs or fat.

I do however track it all in myfitnesspal because I want to pin-point any problems should they arise.

So far, 8 weeks out, no stalls and am averaging about a 3 lb loss per week.

I have no problem with bread crumbs whatsoever. But I try to incorporate some nutritional yeast if I'm using panko just for the added Protein ;)

I am going to use Fiber one Cereal, crush in a food processor or coffee grinder, add whatever spices to it and you can bread anything, I always cook skin and bone on, it makes meat taste better, I would peel skin off for now, maybe at 6 months ask your doctor if you can have it skin on, Mary

      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.
