I had shredded chicken, marinated in Italian dressing. and I'm about to have some Dannon Light and Fit yogurt to take my meds with. However, I take off for St Louis again tomorrow, which means I'm back in the territory of traveling and well meaning co-workers. Ya'll pray for me. :D

I love those and most vegetables. I think I've eaten up all the junk food in the house by now. Is there a Betty Ford Clinic available for Bad Bandsters?

Actually, I'm very tempted by brussell sprouts. When I was originally banded, I craved asparagus. Now I'm dying for a steaming bowl of them combined... throw in some carrots & cabbage, too. When I was at my lowest weight, I was eating massive salads every night jammed with heaps of veggies. I can eat pounds and stay healthy. Then I married a man who cooks real food in huge amounts and gained 130 pounds.

Do any of you have problems with cabbage? Ive had it three times in the past month and each time I had problems with it going down. SLOWED my eating down fast!

Lisa, I love that stuff too. I can even eat it RAW.

Regarding cabbage; we have a very simple way of fixing it (if you like it uncooked too) shred the cabbage into a bowl and sprinkle vinager lightly then add some seasoning to it.... thats it.

Like you, years ago I dieted & ate tons of salad and lost weight. I kept a bowl of this cabbage stuff in the fridge and munched on it when I would have the munchies.

But ohhhh, the gas!!!!

      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.
