Here's a recipe I use... for Turkey Burgers - they travel well for lunch and taste great.

1 lb ground turkey (really lean - good low fat protein)

1 egg

1 chopped onion

1/2 chopped red pepper

2-3 tbsp ketchup or BBQ Sauce (your choice)

garlic powder

paprika

Mix them all together (if you need mushier food, you can mix them in a food processor)... then add some breadcrumbs to make the mixture hold together.

you make them into burgers, and then bake them at 350 for about 30-40 minutes.

You can eat them cold or hot and they taste great. If you use the food processor they are really easy to digest too.

Hope you like them - I like them loads better than tuna fish.

      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.
