I was wondering the same but not with food. I have to take my thyroid medication before i eat anything and when i take a small drink to swallow it i can tell my stomach is a little restricted right away in the morning.

I've been drinking Muscle Milk Lite in the morning (8oz early, before going to the gym, and 8oz around 10am, after the gym). lunch is typically my "big" meal for the day...usually 2 oz of lean Protein, and low-fat string cheese (1 or 2), or 1/4 cup fat-free cottage cheese. In the afternoon I'll usually have a little snack...a couple baby carrots with 2 TBSP hummus, or a string cheese (if I only had 1 at lunch). dinner is usually the meal I struggle the most with, often only able to eat 1 oz of lean meat. Most evenings I'll have a Quest Protein Bar (I love the chocolate brownie ones!)...to keep my calories up, and to make sure I get at least 85 grams of protein. :)

Breakfast is the hardest meal for me and I tend to still go for a Protein smoothie rather than eat solid food.

lunch is the easiest meal for me and I think it is because I eat at my desk while working so I tend to take a long time between bites as therefore eat more before getting full.

Good point. I also tend to enjoy a Protein shake for Breakfast. It is yummy and gives me the right amount of energy until 3 hours later at my 9 am snack time By 9am, I can eat a 3 oz chicken sausage with no problem. I sometimes feel like the same chicken sausage is too heavy if I eat it when waking up. The chicken sausage works really well for any meal and I can buy a 24 pack from costco that does not cost too much. They look like a big, curved hot dog and are 3 oz of good quality Protein.< /p>

Yep, even after all this time (more than 18 months), I still am more careful of what I eat at breakfast. My tummy is still a little grumpy, so not to much grease or anything heavy. I have a couple of soy lattes, some greek yogurt, and a piece of toast or 1/2 cup of oatmeal. No, not all at once :-) I have coffee first, then breakfast about an hour later, then another coffee around 10 a.m.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
