Right now? Usually a little chicken or fish, and if I have a bit of room left, some refried Beans or quinoa with cheese (I put a little shredded cheese on just about everything to boost the protein)

I need to find more varied recipes. I was just approved for soft foods, so I have a lot more available to me now.

I do chicken and veggies often. Spaghetti squash style spaghetti with salad last night. Monday was taco bowl (taco fixings without the tortilla for me). Fish n veggies, turkey burger (no bun) n veggies...get the idea? Haha, I'm boring but luckily my family likes most of what I make. I'll throw in sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes once every week or two for them for a change.

I really enjoyed a recipe that I found on Pintrest. It was lasagna that had zucchini as the "noodles". So yummy!

If you search Pinterest for zucchini noodle lasagna you will find several recipes. I actually combine elements from about three of the ones I found.

My favorite meal is sharing a filet mignon with my husband, with a small salad. We did this twice in the past 3 months. Cost was about $4 for 1 steak. Our go to meal is a salad most nights. Last night I sauteed 2 bags of fresh spinach in 1 tsp. olive oil, with 1/4 cup pine nuts. Found this recipe on the bag of spinach, and it is our favorite.

I've recently entered the world of tofu and LOVE mock chicken salad.< /span>

Also Walmart has chicken bites (unbreaded) and beef fajita in the freezer section so I ALWAYS have something I can eat available...

I made a pot of delicious homemade Italian meatballs last weekend and ate them all week long. I used my garden herbs, ground beef and Italian sausage, simmered and reduced with tomatoes and peppers. It amazes me how long food lasts in my fridge now!

      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.
