My dinner tonight. Hubby & I went to Gringos Mexican Restaurant and shared this. It's combo fajitas with 4 shrimp brochettes. I put mine on the little bread plate but wasn't even able to eat all of that.

Dinner: I have a concert to play in tonight and will have to eat between warm-up and performance. I decided to have a salad made from thin cabbage (I don't like lettuce), bell pepper, onion, 50 grams of ham, baby bel. Homemade dressing of rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and berry jam.

200 calories, 15 grams Protein

I'm also having 1/4 of a laddu and 1/4 of a barfi (Indian desserts) which you can see in the top of my cool salad bowl.

How did you calculate the calories down to the rice wine? I'm having a hard time counting the smallest items that do not show serving sizes. Like vegetables.

What is this odd green concoction you ask? Only the BEST thing ever! We made a sugar free pistachio pudding with sugar free cool whip. Which would be just great right?

What if I told you we added Protein powder in it? Muahahaha! Unflavored Protein Powder. Can't even taste it.

Tell your husband to spend some time on my blog at www.sleevers.wordpress.com and see the recipes I share. Ask him to look at any piece of meat or any vegetable, and tell him you will soon be eating those. It's very normal eating, some of us just choose to stay away from carbs, and all of us are expected to stay away from junk like real sugar, chips etc.

      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.
