Almost 2 months out!! I need food ideas! I am so bored with the same old same old. I am not a big seafood fan so don't recommend that.

What are you guys eating? Share your creative ideas because I'm lacking in this department.

I need ideas too! My basics include Babybel Lite cheese rounds, chicken, Dannon Lite & Fit Greek Yogurt, Fresh Mozzarella with tomatoes and basil, scrambled eggs with vegetables, salmon or chicken over salad, Lite turkey kielbasa, veggie burgers. My "cheats" usually involve a few pretzel thins.

It gets pretty dull after a while!

At my soft food stage (and on...), I ate a lot of chicken salad, tuna salad, ham salad, seafood salad, egg salad. Because I can eat so little, I never worried about FF mayo, but I do use light as I prefer the taste.

Refried Beans with ground beef and salsa mixed in, topped with cheese and baked is good. Hummus or guacamole is a favorite. Quiche is/was a staple. I skipped the crust and added all my favorite chopped meats and veggies. There is a LOT that can be done with a quiche as far as fillings. I also did crustless pot pie with shredded chicken. Crab cakes, shrimp cakes, black bean cakes.

Chili, beef stew, white chicken chili. lunch meat roll ups with cheese and avocado inside, omelettes

It seems hard, but it's not. Just be creative. Peruse cook books, remove the carbs and enjoy!

I do turkey meatballs, smoked salmon, chicken satay, crabcakes (weighed and reshaped for my 20 size) and moist lunch meats with things in them, as LipstickLady said. banana slices dipped in PB2 powder is a nice change from time to time, or a well warmed (canned in water) peach half with cinnamon on it and a Tablespoon of vanilla yogurt. Just a few of my own favorites anyway.

      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.
