Here's mine...complete with my pain in the arse food journal:) So what was your lunch today? Do you keep a food journal?
Never thought I'd see the day when I'd be absolutely full on 6 multigrain scoops:) My puppy got the last one and some of the chili:)

How long ago did you get your surgery? I’m getting a sleeve done next week Wednesday and this thing is kicking my ass

I’ve had the same lunch every day this week. I take ground turkey and add garlic, egg, a little cream of wheat or oatmeal ( to bind), Greek spices, salt and pepper. I mix it together. Then add finely chopped mushrooms, onion, yellow/green zucchini. I make 4 oz patties - which include the veggies. Then I broil in both sides. I eat cold or warm. I add a little ketchup and mustard, a few butter pickles and diced tomatoes. I had one for dinner tonight too! They freeze well. And they are solid enough to fill my pouch and moist enough to not gag.

Burrito bowl/naked burrito. No rice. Didn’t shell out the extra $2 for guacamole. Will probably end up eating less than a third. I get annoyed eating out because I can never finish and it seems like a waste of money and food!

The other half of the can of Hormel chili I heated up yesterday with a packet of oyster crackers.

So far this is the only form of red meat I've tolerated well, btw.

I made a low carb crock pot crustless pizza this weekend. I made it from this recipe, though I made my batch smaller, with only one kind of cheese, and added a bunch of mushrooms. But it was gooooooooood.

The only thing was, like an idiot, it never occurred to me to check the cook time... four hours. I ate pretty late the night I made that this weekend.

Anyway, I had leftovers and had some for lunch and it was good. A fair amount of calories, but almost no carbs, so by eating lean for my other meals, I was able to fit it in.

I'm on my second week diet, which means full liquids for me. I had a cup of Tomato and red pepper Soup.

Had some homemade veggie Soup thickened with pea and brown rice Protein Powder. Imagine a crock pot of veggies floating in split pea soup....and you're there. It was really good. This pic is before it cooked down...cause it's more colorful before it's cooked and made a prettier picture. As the rice and pea Protein powder cook, they thicken and it looks like stew:)

My lunches have gotten insanely repetitive: packet of tuna, with some hot sauce and ginger paste squeezed in. It's boring, but it's so low cal/carb that I can relax a bit and have a nicer dinner or a glass of wine at night.

My wife has this way of making chicken Soup that makes for a whole batch of meals. She cooks up the stock with chicken and veggies, then removes those making a chicken salad out of some of the veggies and salad that she eats. The rest of the chicken she shreds and I eat it with barbecue sauce and some chunks of polish sausage mixed in, which makes for a pretty lively flavor, even as it's light. She and my kid cook up noodles and eat it with the broth as soup, but I just treat it as Bone Broth, mixing in Protein powder (I still have some to get rid of from my liquids phase). It's nice in the wintertime.

      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.
