Do y’all get in ruts with food? I’ve had the same thing for lunch every day for a week. Still enjoying it though! Deli turkey wrap made with a carb balance tortilla, turkey, light cream cheese, and a sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning.

I eat the same things for lunch all the time. chicken tenders & salad or prawns & salad & slight variations of the same. Means I don’t have to think about what to eat, portion size, Protein content, etc. I think if I still enjoy it, I’ll keep eating it. Today I’m making garlic prawns as I couldn’t get my usual cooked prawns. I’ll just eat the prawns.

Honey BBQ chicken, couscous and mixed greens. I finished almost everything but forgot to take a pic.

I’m currently teaching my youngest daughter various recipes she wants to learn, but honestly I can’t wait for the day when I'm presented with a complete meal I had nothing to do with. 😂

My mom wanted to go to lunch today as a family so we went to my dad’s favorite Chinese buffet. They make these amazing garlic green Beans so that’s mostly what I ate. I didn’t even touch the rice I got. After, I spent a few hours gardening and picked my first strawberries of the year! So good!

This was dinner tonight.

Where is the best place online to order the multi-vitamins

Depends where you are but I recommend the BariatricPal Store & Amazon. I think have also used iherb and vitacost in the past but I’m not sure about the quality these days.

Turkey & cheese sandwich on Keto bread.

The log says “wheat bread” but it’s their new white bread (it’s just not in the database yet). As usual I use only one slice of bread and slice it into two.

Also this sandwich was clearly meant to be a salad in another life. 😂

I’m always shocked when I see that it’s only ~300 cals for this whole thing

      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.
