Thank you so much, I'm trying to work this New lifestyle. I just checked the Bmi calculator and it said 27.1 so.....

To be honest I don't weigh my food at all and I just started tracking it on my phone fitness app. For Breakfast I have oatmeal with a banana in it or a turkey sausage link and a boiled or scrambles egg, then aboit 30min later a cup of Decaf coffee with some Premier Protein drink in it. For lunch I'll do a salad or some chicken salad, or hummus with flaxseed tortilla chips. For dinner I may do Soup or another salad. I usually snack on cashews, almonds a d apples and Peanut Butter.

Thats really intresting your diet does not seem as solid as i would expect for 5 months out , do you not eat other meats than chicken? and is the salad on its own no Protein? thanks very much it worked for you!! i need to mix it up abit :)

My "diet" is not the best and never has been, the only difference is that now I eat waaaaay less and I stay away from sweets, fried foods and carbs. When I have salads I eat them with a boiled egg, and it chicken. I TRY to get some sort of Protein with each meal.

When did you have surgery and what are your stats?

      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.
