Well im not banded yet so this is what Ive been doing since Im trying my "practice diet" of protiens first veggies second and fruits and healthy carbs last.

eggs

chicken

Cottage cheese

Almands and other nuts with protiens

Lamb

some pork (not my favorite but at least it adds voriety

I have exchanged ground beef for ground turkey although some people just get the really lean ground beef

I also still eat dairy for Snacks like lowfat yogart

Hope this helps, as far as lubes I cant really help you but here is something I like to put on my chicken salads for dressing and I think this could be used as a lube(?)

1 small cucumber

1 half white onion

1 small container of plain lowfat yogart

two table spoons of lowfat sour cream

and 1 table spoon of mayo

Put this all in your food processors or magic bullets and blend the hell out of it till its liquid. It may sound gross but OMG its so good over chicken with spinach, romain, ceaser lettus and a little shredded lowfat chedder. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ohh yah and ull have lots of dressing probably enough for 4 BIG salads

Sounds like an easy substitute for cucumber sauce without the draining of the cucumbers. You peel the cuke, right? Sounds really yummy. Man, I miss Pita bread sometimes.

I do nuts (almonds), chicken (which is really hard for me to eat just yet) cottage cheese, yogurt, and Boost High Protien (15gm per serving). Surely I get in other protiens? Wow, maybe I'm not eating enough protien? OH! and tuna, which I haven't had in several days but it's good, too.

Good luck! thanks for the food lube idea, Bandit! Sounds yummy :)

OH! I use Italian dressing in my tuna for lube. Beats mayo sometimes. Also, salsa, ranch dressing, BBQ Sauce, gravy.

I don't know just how much I eat in a day. One yogurt, one boost, 2 ounces of chicken breast at the most, 3 ounces of nuts, all in a day. Other days I may substitute one of the other protiens...how many grams of protien is that? dunno.

I lube my chicken with hummus or else it's hard to get down. Also eat lo-fat, cottege cheese, lo-fat ricotta cheese & sometimes have to do a spirutina Protein Shake cause I don't always get enough. I've made ground turkey w/baked Beans & Tomato sauce, kind of like a chile & it was really good. Since I'm getting a fill Thursday & probably won't be able to tolerate steak, I'm having one for dinner tomorrow nite!

Hope this helps.

      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.
