I love BBQ and Mexican food. I go to Dickey's or Rudy's and buy the meat with no sauce. I measure with a food scale or quarter cup and only eat what I'm allowed. I like pinto Beans instead of green all the time. (adds a little protein) We ordered in from Cowboy chicken yesterday and I got chicken, pintos and mixed veggies. I have meals for the whole weekend from one dinner plate. Big thing is to measure portions to plan and put the rest away. I'm afraid that with me, if I don't put away immediatly, I will start snacking. Bottom line, don't limit yourself, check your Dr's list or with the Nut and keep to their portions and list.

What you've been eating sounds fine, but I get bored without a little variety.

35 lbs sounds like a lot to me. I think you're doing great. Do you remember how much your doc said you could expect to lose per month or per week? Mine wanted me to stay around 15 lbs a month.

Whenever I felt like I wasn't losing weight fast enough, I would remind myself of just how fast I wasn't losing weight pre-op!

When I was 375, I would have been sooooooooooo happy just to see the scale creep down, even if it was only 1/2 lb a week... so long as it was moving in the right direction.

You think you're in a hurry to lose weight?? I remember opening my eyes right after surgery and asking, "Am I thin yet?????" :D

      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.
