Yes, no processed foods. Clean means simple.

I was told don't eat anything White cuz it's going to be crap.No white flour,

no sugar, etc

Milk is the only thing white that I imbibe and even that in real small moderation,

only in my tea or coffee. Obviously one can get carried away with the word"processed",

any oil could be described as processed -

I mean oils and vinaigres etc could be called processed but that's not what

we're talking about here. Those things have been made for a millennia, we're talking about avoiding

modern processing processes in factories, so this cuts out a ton of food, but I don't know about

you guys, but I wanna change my life and the habits that got me to Bariatric surgery in the first place

Hi. Also means whole food organic Protein powders. Read about them. Once you start, it's your new addiction. I also switch my brands around and use 2 at a time alternating to take advantage of all the different nutrients. Clean eating makes you feel wonderful and it can only help.

Good Luck Lynn

I would add that you should also pay attention to your meat selections. The nutritional makeup of grass fed beef is significantly better than most of the beef that is available in the grocery store. We eat such a small amount and the Protein and other nutrients that it provides us are so vital - it is so important to get the most nutritional value out of every bite we are eating. It is also lower in calories. Free range chicken is also much better for you. It takes some time, but is worth learning about.

Here is a link to a good article that explains it well:

      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.
