It’s a little expensive but I use Daily Harvest for myself, which are super quick to cook (4 min in a pan) after I’ve made my daughter something.

I'm very curious how your weight loss has been to this point.

I find it difficult as it is just my husband I at this point and he weighs in at a whopping 135 and I usually have to make what he wants and just have the Protein myself. Next month my son is moving back in with us and he will eat anything I put in front of him, in fact he could benefit from this surgery.

I cook one dinner, if the kids don’t like it/want it, we offer yogurt and fruit.

Yes no this wouldn’t work in our house. I’m sure it would work when my older 2 were much younger.

What types of food do you keep on hand? The meatballs are a great idea.

Meatballs, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs. Plus there are some great frozen options for wls patients at Walmart. My nutritionist pointed them out to me.

sous vide eggs with veggies and frittatas come to mind.

Plus I always have leftovers from the night before. Mostly I just cook things that my husband and I can both eat. Even if you end up making something with carbs in it that you can’t eat, pick the carbs out and eat vegetables and meat. I have an instant pot and can make delicious, healthy meals in a snap.

My philosophy was/is: I cooked everyone dinner, you’re welcome. It does not hurt my feelings if you don’t like it. We have bread, cheese, Peanut Butter, deli meat, eggo waffles, eggs and fruit if you would prefer to make your own meal. Feel free to order a pizza if you have money, I don’t care. This usually only happened on nights when I made curry, stir fry or fish. Now they all love those things.

I never claimed to be mother of the year.

      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.
