I will get back to everyone tonight. I am busy today, but thank you all so much for your input. I was surprised when ssflbelle mentioned the sodium content of the Atkins meals. Check out the picture I took of one of the Atkins meals. Check out the sodium!!! I was shocked and also surprised my dietician would recommend these meals, since she knows I am salt sensitive. Be back soon Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

I forgot to add the pre O.P diet. paperwork. Here is what she gave me Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Any suggestions on this? My dietician gave this to me today. I went out and bought Atkins meals and Protein shakes. Kind of spendy. Is any one else on something similar to this? She wants me to take the 15 pounds off quick. My insurance won't pay for the surgery if I don't lose the 15 pounds by October. She said I could have all the cheese, I wanted, I was thinking of putting it over the broccoli. I was also thinking of getting chicken breasts and cooking them and adding vegetables instead of ready made Atkins meals. Since I have a brain injury and have a hard time planning, she just figured popping a Adkins ready made meal in the oven, would be a lot more convienant. Any how, just wondering if anyone else has done this and if you have any suggestions you could add.. Thanks Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

I went out and bought Atkins meals. Kind of spend. Can we make our own meals? Chicken with vegetables, ect? Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App Spendy I meant Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Leebick, She said I could have all the cheese I wanted. No fruit. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

I just got back from the dietician, she said 2 Adkins shakes a day and 2 Adkins frozen meals a day. As much vegetables, cheese I want. Lots of Water. Going to have to get that 15 pounds off in 3 weeks. As many sugar free popsicles as I want. Does anyone know if this sounds right?

Thanks for that information. I really appreciate it. . I will check it out. My chronic knee pain is depressing me too. I really do try my hardest to plan, but it just feels like there is a walk there. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Ok, thanks for that information. ????, I didn't know there were coping mechanisms. I will look at the meal plans as well, thank you so much! Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Kristen Le, yes, good idea on the meals. I think I'll try replacing lunch and see how that works. Thanks Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Walker, any suggestions on changing my life? Love to hear them Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

So, I haven't been doing too well on losing my 15 pounds in 6 months like Molina requires. I have chronic knee pain. I believe the pain causes depression. I was also in a couple car accidents, which caused some frontal lobe brain damage. That's where your memory and organization and planning happen. I can't seem to plan my meals. I think the knee pain and depression are making it worse. The only thing I can think of is to start doing Protein shakes. They are a no brainer, no pun intended, I'd appreciate your thoughts and if any body knows the amount of Protein Shakes a day one should be drinking, that would be wonderful to know. If I could get the weight off and start exercising, I think that would help my brain injury? Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App
