hello all,

I went for my first nutrition meeting and the thought of eating only 2 to 3 oz of food for how long???? scares me. How do you deal with family and cooking for them??? it is drastic. help:scared2:

It's not bad...especially when 2 or 3oz of food actually keep you satisfied. I eat about a cup of food at a time and I eat approximately every 3-4 hours. I cook for my family every night...everyday now that we are on summer vacation and it hasn't been a problem.

I wondered about the same thing and thought how can you survive on 1/2 cup of food.. Well I am and still cooking and doing my thing and tasting the food I am cooking for my family ..I am still new at this but it will get easier and easier .. My Dr won't let us have anything over 1/2 cup but 1 cup seems perfect.

When you aren't hungry it really helps .Not to worry if I can do it anyone can .

      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?

      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.
