iphone, my fitness [al, Fitbit and a food scale. Measuring, weighing and tracking have been critical to my success! Being able to do this on a phone in my pocket makes it easy!

Several things stand out.

1. My spiralizer (makes veggies into noodles)

2. My many Water bottles

3. YouTube (for the many food ideas)

4. My measuring cups and scale

5. I wish I had an amazing blender. Bullets and regular blenders are not powerful enough to make a good smoothie

6. My measuring tape (for depressing days when I think I have not lost anything, my tape always tells me otherwise)

7. My food processor (allows me to use whole vegetables and fruits to make my own sauces I.e Kale pesto)

8. Did I mention my awesome spiralizer lol

9. My mandoline (for slicing veggies)

10. My spray container for oil. I am very oil sensitive and the sprayer makes it easy to only use a little bit (like a Pam spray but I add my own oil to the container, pump and spray)

And that spiralizer..... haha I am being so silly tonight LOL (I just got it recently and it is my culinary staple!)

Bella cucina blender and Lap Band talk. I really benefited from reading post of Carolina Girl,Missy, B52, Joanne, Jim, 2muchfun, without this forum, I would have been very isolated. While the doc was my final answer, you all have helped more than you know. Many Thanks!

      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.
