Hello everyone, so I'm 3 months post op. The biggest challenges that I'm having now is making myself eat. I'm never hungry at all but I know I need to eat. Also, needing more ideas for foods & meals to cook. I feel as if I eat chicken 4 days a week. Lol Any suggestions???? What do you do for lunch?

Thanks for any help.

Baby girl pa, thanks. I very rarely skip a meal but there had been a few times that I did. I do drink 1 Protein Shake a day; 1/2 in the morning & half in the afternoon for 30 grams of Protein.< /p>

I buy great quality lunch meat sliced extra thin, add a slice of good cheese, an avocado wedge and make roll ups. Salami and provolone, roast beef and harvarti, ham and cheddar, turkey and pepper jack... so many options!

I do chicken salad or ham salad, seafood salad is great, shrimp salad is a favorite.

Sometimes I just do chunks of cheese, almonds and pepperoni or chicken strips, olives and feta.

Definitely lots of options available.

I've been eating some high-Protein Soups, low-fat meatballs in marinara, low-fat shepherd's pie with a bit of sweet potato instead of white potato (cottage pie for the Brits), and also some similar meals as @lipsticklady. A small amount of cheese or avocado are so satisfying and help me stick to my version of a plan which focuses on low carb.

There are several great websites for post-bariatric recipes and there are some on this site. Have fun exploring!

      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.
