Baby greens salad, ricotta cheese and a gardein veggie burger. Burger did.not.sit.well! I added it for the Protein and was able to keep it down, but no more of those for me. :( I wish I could just have salad w/o adding anything....maybe just some nuts and cheese next time!

I had some homemade chicken Soup for dinner. Did not sit well at all about 2 minutes later I was in the bathroom. It all came back up. Having a really hard time getting my Protein. I doubt I am getting even 1/4 of what I should. The only thing that sits well is yogurt or pudding.< /p>

How far post op are you? My dr recommends 6wks for even cooked vegetables, I didn't ask about raw.

I do salad with egg white, cheese, Beans, and nuts. You can get a decent protein amount without adding meat (I end up eating more of the 'stuff' then lettuce but that's okay!)

Just tried a low sugar Detour chocolate chip caramel bar. O.M.G. It is so good. Doesn't even taste like a Protein Bar. And I'm not a huge fan of Protein Bars.

Found them at bjs. Yum.

Where can you buy them individually? I'd like to give one a try before buying a whole package.

I had a piece of broccoli quiche. It was ready made and was not crustless. I ate the egg part and tossed the crust. I had no problems with it. I'm considering taking a piece to work for tomorrow's lunch.< /p>

Survived birthday #1 as a post op. It was tempting, but got through it okay. Spinach salad w/ chicken from Applebee's, had a few bites of the heavy appetizers-that didn't sit well- & a few spoonfuls of cake. Went to bed to avoid being sick! Won't try this again but learn from my mistake & don't make urself miserable on ur bday

      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.
