So today I decided to be adventurous and bought a salad from chick-fil-a for lunch. I haven't been thinking too much outside of the nix for food ideas. Been really scared to eat stuff other then the usual chicken, cheese, eggs etc etc. But to my surprise my stomach didn't reflect it. Had 1/4 for lunch then another 1/4 for later lunch and still have some left over. Looks like my stomach gave me the All Clear for veggies. I feel soo much better now.

Just make sure you eat salads with Protein if it is your main item for the meal and eat all the protein if you can! I love salad and eat it often but it always has lots of protein in it. Mainly chicken like yours today! Enjoy! :)

I keep asking my NUT every week if I can have salad yet (I'm 8 weeks out now....and I'm craving it). She keeps telling me not until around 10-12 weeks :( How far along are you?

      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.
