I switched to sashimi to avoid the rice carbs.

I can find something pretty much everywhere. A chicken salad eating mainly the grilled chicken, a sandwich eating only the meat part of it (hold the bread), a bowl of Soup, etc. A lot of places will let you order 1/2 portions as well if you ask and they typically have special pricing for that. You can also sometimes order off of the kids' menu, but sadly most of the time the kids menu is more unhealthy than the regular menu.

I don't like Mexican, and I am a snob about my Italian plus none of the stuff I like I can eat.

Sushi though, I got California rolls and spicy California rolls, the rice is on the side so I just ate the center.

From about 6 months post op... anything I want in small quantities! I try to stick to high Protein when I can get quality. One taco is always a fav, a chicken finger or Jr burger with half the bun, typically avoiding fries and such. There just isn't room for potato stuffs. LOVE sushi... 1/2 a roll and maybe some sashimi. When I'm out, which isn't THAT often, I enjoy what I want, I just never over eat. My choices when I'm home tend to be lean meat or soups\stews, sometimes cottage cheese and crackers or a salad loaded with grilled chicken. While I was losing, I food journaled so I'd learn how to get my macros without going over, 2 years later, it's a bit more natural. For me, it's about balance.

      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.
