Be careful with the potato. It's really a starch. Try cream of wheat the healthy one mixed with milk. chicken in the crock pot. Beef in the crock pot, very easy to shred. I froze shredded meats in muffin tins and them popped into freezer bags. I even cooked a large pot of chili in the crock pot and froze 25 muffin tins worth ( they pop right out like ice cubes) and I measured 1/4 of a cup o the chili and then wen you defrost add some cheese on top. Great Portion Control too.

I also purchased 4oz Rubbermaid containers and divided yogurt and cheese up, even scrambled eggs or the cream of wheat. All to keep my meal under the oz my NUT said. I am 3 months out and still measure this way. I have a small Pyrex custard cup I use at work and know that once I fill my food to the line it's 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup taking into consideration the space. I sometimes can't finish that but try hard to get the Protein in. I eat a lot of Beans and Lima Beans for Snacks plus peanuts or yogurt measured out.

Let me know I you need some recipes.

      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.
