How many weeks out are you? You can eat chocolate without dumping? I'm so scared to try that...

I'm 7 months out. I didn't try chocolate or sweets of any kind until I was 5 months out and the. It was just a bite. And there is very littleof it that I eat. One square of dove dark chocolate has 4 grams of sugar and I eat it at the end of the meal so that it won't go straight through me. It's a rare treat for me but I've discovered that it keeps me from eating sugar free pudding or sugar free ice cream, etc. that I hear that others eat to get their sweet fix and that one piece of dark chocolate is less calories. I am certainly not advocating that anyone else eat chocolate but for me, it's a small indulgence that's under the 10 grams of sugar that my nut recommends and I'm choosing the path of moderation long term.

Hmm. I noticed a lot of people say they can't have lettuce or salads. I am almost three weeks out and my nutritionist said I could work them into my diet at the beginning of week three. I had my first salad yesterday and just dipped it in the dressing and I tolerated it just fine! Granted I could not eat very much at all oh and I had my surgery on the 24th of January.

I eat salad everyday with some meat and fruit mixed in, because it's good and I can't tolerate not eating some veggies

Cream of chicken breasts.

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1 pinch poultry seasoning

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken Soup

1 (10.75 ounce) can milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish and season to taste.

Mix soup with soup can of milk/half-and-half/water (if desired, use 2 cans to make sauce thicker). Pour soup mixture evenly over chicken and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is no longer pink and is tender.

I used chicken tenderloins and I cooked in a pan first and seasoned not completely just a little. I cooked in oven 30 min. I served with cauliflower mashed potatoes. Yum.

      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.
