Well I don't see lettuce on there. That is what I got in my packet too and that is what confused me. That doesn't sound like a salad to me. I wonder if you can eat the cauliflower or spinach cooked? Does anyone know? I don't eat most of those things except the egg the spinach and the cauliflower.

@@Ronab hehehe I think lettuce would be OK. Spinich has more nutritional value and would probably be better for ya. However, I will probably do a spring greens mix, or half lettuce and half spinich. I hate spinich with ranch, but love it with oil/vinegar type dressings.< /p>

I think as long as you are not adding anything else to the cauliflower or spinich while coooking them, it should be good.

You might try: lettuce, kidney Beans, Tomato, 1 egg and 1/2 serving of chicken mixed together with a low carb ranch. I did Medifast for a long time and it was one of my fave salads.

You might also maybe email ALM and see if you can make an omlet instead of a salad out of eggs, veggies and spinich?

Just some (diet) food for thought.... :)

I love beef, so it was either steak or prime rib, I had chicken occasionally, but not often as I'm not a big fan of it.

Shizwiz, you got that right, I'm scared of the preop. Mainly because I've failed so many diets in the past. I'm scheduled for the 22nd, If I get my travel docs in order by then.

emmuje875, you can check the status of your passport/pass card online and it will tell you the date it will arrive. Mine took about three weeks.

Im done, slept alot lately, and internet goes in and out here in Mexicio. Dr. Ortiz staff and a lighter me treated me excellent. I don't think I couldve gotten better attention elsewhere. The numbers are 2 nurses to 8 patients. Very happy to be feeling a little better. The first night was a little rough due to pain and gas. But last night I slept like a baby.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! My daughters are in the preop diet stage so our dinner is going to be very limited, but no worries! We are so excited for the upcoming trip to OCC. We leave the 7th with surgeries scheduled for the 8th. Please send your prayers this way! I will be so glad to have the surgeries done and the girls back home and on the losers bench. Good luck to all of you who have upcoming surgeries in December. What a great Christmas gift you are giving yourselves!

      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.
