I buy already cooked turkey meatballs' date=' a package of pepperoni, a jar of bolognese sauce, some ricotta, and some mozzarella.

You can make a really quick Italian meal- throw a meatball or some pepperoni in a small bowl, cover is with a little ricotta and some mozzarella, then mix in a half or quarter cup of the sauce. Nuke it for 45 seconds and you have instant Italian deliciousness.

I've also been eating a lot of pulled pork with just enough BBQ Sauce for taste. It goes down easy and has tons of protien.

Greek yoghurt is good too (though I like mine flavored so I only have one a day because of the carb count). Oinkos has a key lime pie flavor that is the BOMB- tastes just like key lime pie filling!

I also do my protien shakes with almond milk which has almost no carbs (compared with milk which has a lot).

Atkins also makes some good protien bars- one is delicious chocolate Peanut Butter and has 17g of protien and only 2 or 3 net carbs.

I also recommend getting some crystal light powder if you get tired of plain Water.

That's all I can think of for now! Good luck![/quote']

I love oinkos! It's great! Key lime is my favorite. Have you tried cooking with Greek yogurt? Thanks for the tip with the almond milk. Does almond milk work for making scrambled eggs?

      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.
