Meals yesterday- lunch was an Asian noodle bowl with kelp noodles, peanuts, bell peppers, and cucumber. A hot Water soak with a little baking soda is definitely the way to go.

Dinner- chicken fajitas

I get into "current addictions" too. Right now mine is airfried San Francisco style sourdough bread with jalapeno pepper jack cheese. I guess there is something in the real sourdough (probably the fermentation) that my body is craving. Probably more that it's delicious [emoji16]

That sounds wonderful! There's something real nice about having a comfort food while being restricted. I don't take it for granted now

Excited to finally get to post on this thread. Today is the day I am making my first soft Protein meal. I’ve tested the waters with a bite of lobster yesterday and a spoon of ricotta Saturday but have otherwise been on Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids since my surgery two weeks ago.

I prepared a ricotta egg white omelette season with a pinch of salt, turmeric, and coriander.

It went down slowly, but successfully and I’m feeling full quickly. There is definitely a significant difference between consuming food vs full liquids.

Readjusting portions will certainly be a learning curve.

Vegan bruschetta w/hummus and cucumber- Before and After.

I made a much larger version for my mostly vegan child to show her it was a very quick meal (5 mins) because she only ever makes either a complicated Breakfast or nothing at all (but either way she’s annoyed 🙄)

BTW I’m eating off of a lid to tupperware because I’m in a stand-off with the child who is supposed to do dishes.

Airfried hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), after rinsing I salted it with Himalayan pink salt. The dip was a citrus, soy sauce, ginger mixture. I thought I was famished but I got full after the first few bites (what a let down). 11:00 am is far too early for me to eat anything. I usually eat about 2 pm. So I gave most of the delicious meat to the cats. They enjoyed it lol. Although I only ate a few bites, I counted the full hamachi calories (165 cal). It's so low in calories anyway. I also ate ounce of steamed rice (37 cal). For Snacks today, I will get my veggies and fruits in. 20221220_103001.jpg 20221220_104141~2.jpg

      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.
