I totally understand and to me, you are still really new out. :) It was so scary to me to start adding in new foods because I was afraid of "failing". Until you do it and see that you won't wake up back at your highest weight tomorrow, it's kind of terrifying.

High Protein, low carb, regular fat. Healthy fats, though, not french fries and potato chips.

Real foods. Real fat. If it has more chemicals than things you recognize, don't eat it. You will be amazed at how much better things taste. I do SF where I can and light milk because I prefer it, but real eggs, real cheese, real dressing.

My hair looks better, my skin looks better, I feel better. I am eating like a healthy person, not a dieting person. It's so freeing.

I totally agree with you. Real is better and fullfilling. Thanks for pointing this out for everyone :)

Lipstick Lady thank you so much for sharing your experience. I m French n while I understand little or no French bread, Pasta n rice low-fat cheese n even worse to me is cottage cheese which I have always thot looks like baby puke! I have become a gastric forum junkie! I want to read everyone's experience, fears, triumphs. I knew duh I was fluffy but when I saw a photo from the side! Holy crap. Then I did bmi n found out I was morbidly obese. Hello...first part is morbid! I was freaked into thinking I was going to die if I don't do something soon. Been yo yo dieting for over 40 yrs n my family has all passed n want to be around for my 13 yr old. I will b damned if I die early if I cud have helped it n let his dad raise him. I went to back to school nite n was so wiped out from just doing my son's schedule. My fiance who has no cartilage in his knees even walked faster. Hopefully next year I will zip thru the halls!

      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.
