I freeze it in serving size portions in baggies squished flat. I thaw a Baggie and have:

- Canned Soup with some turkey and extra veggies

- Turkey sandwich ( 2-3 oz. of turkey on a slice of whole wheat bread)

- Turkey pot pie ( 1 sautéed onion, 1.5 cups frozen mixed veggies, can of cream of chicken soup, 1/2 c. Milk, and 12 oz. turkey, put in pie pan, cover with crust and bake at 425 for 40 minutes.) I don't eat the crust if I'm not in goal range.

- Turkey stir fry with broccoli, snow peas, and soy sauce mixed with a little Splenda and a little sesame oil

- Turkey salad with mixed greens, apple, walnuts, and walnut oil and pomegranate vinegar.

      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.
