I use both, depending on what I use it for. powder for baking, liquid in my oatmeal and such.

Makes sense I will get both then, because I love to cook.

I am at week 6, 3 days until week 7, and my husband suggested we go out to eat together. I think he is just looking foward to me being a cheap date. LOL! I am thinking seafood. Some baked or grilled fish and steamed vegetables. He can share his or I will have lots of leftovers to bring home.

It is exciting to eat out the first time but also scary. I always check the menus out online before I go so I know there is something I can eat. I take all meals home and my husband likes it because he gets to take my leftovers for lunch. Just eat slow and chew well and mostly just enjoy!

I'm wondering if you went out for the first time. I'm going tomorrow night and I'm worried. I'm five weeks and 4 days tomorrow🤞

I did end up eating out, but it was a spur of the moment thing, and I wasn't hungry. My husband was and ordered a Reuben. I had a bite of his corned beef, but just the meat, no bread or dressing. He still owes me a meal, lol. I most definitely was a cheap date that day. LOL Preplanning is the key. Check out the menu ahead of time, and plan what you can eat. Ask for a take out box with your meal and put what is more than you should/can eat in there before you even start to eat. Have a great time!!

The first few months I pretty much just ate shrimp cocktail every time I went out to dinner.

      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.
