Recommended level of carbs in the diet - research

I just discovered refrigerator steel cut oats! Take a small jar and put in 1/4 c steel cut oats and 1/4 c milk (I use fair life but almond or whatever you use) and some flavoring--fruit, Protein Powder, pumpkin purée, some SF Torani, Greek yogurt--shake it up and put it in the fridge overnight! In the morning top with some nuts or unsweetened coconut...YUM! Some add chia seeds which I don't like but I added flaxseed and will have that to try in the morning!

Overnight oats are a great way to food prep! You can do them 1 - 2 night in advance. If you use yogurt instead of milk, you can do 3 - 4 days in advance.

@@jess9395 @@BLERDgirl I had been looking at those recipes. Since it's the season, I was thinking of trying a recipe I found for "pumpkin pie" overnight oats!

@@Indieflickers - I've done this. I bought pumpkin puree, not pie filling because that has a ton of additives and sugar. I used real maple Syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg & ground glove spices, orange zest andFAGE0% greek yogurt and rolled oats. YUM!

Trader joes has frozen steel oats and quinoa. Separate and mixed. Easier for quicker meals.

But I don't mind stirring the pot for ten minutes. Some of the only cooling i do ...except bake chicken and make a vege dish!

      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.
