I did pretty good yesterday.

B - 2 scrambled eggs with taco meat and sour cream

L - 8 kashi crackers, sliced ham and swiss cheese

D - salad and grilled chicken breast

S - cottage cheese and dry roasted endamame

Total carbs for the day was only 22, Protein was 65, but my calories for the day were a little low. I'll have to watch that. I need to keep them between 900 and 1000. Was only 790 yesterday.

My carbs are up a little today at 45, (toast for Breakfast and brown rice for dinner) but once again my calories are a little low (709). I'll have to sneak in some extra protein or a low carb slim fast to boost my calories.

Where do you get this dry roasted endamame? I keep hearing about it.

I don't know what it is, but I want something to snack on that's not

a bad choice. I see a lot of people eating it and I don't know what it

is or where to find it.

What part of the grocery store is it in?

I get frozen endamame from sam's. It comes in individual containers. YOu cook it in the microwave for 3 minutes and then eat the peas out of the pod. It is one of my favorites, and I think it is better for you because it is steamed, not dried. I could be wrong, but less sodium I think???????? I actually bought some more today.

The dry roasted endamame can be purchased online at either snackaisle.com or thru Amazon. I haven't found them at any local stores, but then I live in a rural community.

I really like them and they have lots of Protein and fairly low carbs. I keep some at my desk for when I have the urge to nibble.

Ok, time for me to get serious with this low carb thing again. I am soooooo ready to be in onederland, but I am not going to get there on Starbucks and Sonic slushes. So, here I go.

So far today

B - Atkins Caramel Latte shake

That's it so far, but I wanted to post to hold myself accountable.

l-one tbs of spicy guacamole and about 3 Veggie chips, hot raspberry tea w/ Splenda

I've had to order mine online at either snackaisle.com or at Amazon. I live in a small southern town and have trouble finding things like this.

      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.
