So tonight for dinner, I steamed a couple of servings of stir-fry vegetables, three ounces of grilled chicken breast (with no sauce or seasoning when cooked), a serving of jalapenos, and a dash of Cholula Green Pepper hot sauce. I was taught to clean my plate as a kid and almost always have. Tonight was only the second time that I stopped eating when I knew that the next bite was too much. I had finished all of the meat, all of the jalapenos, and about half of the steamed veggies. I set the plate aside, started my 30-minute timer until I can drink again, and sat back. Within a couple of minutes, I was very full.

Officially today, I'm at 705 calories, with 95g of protein, 42g carbs, and only 16g fat. I've also logged 90oz of water and am waiting to start drinking the next 30oz tumbler of water. I'm using MiO Strawberry Watermelon liquid water enhancer. It makes it taste very good. My local grocery store had them on sale for $1.99 each if you buy 10. Needless to say, I have some at home and at work.

I also invested in two Fifty/Fifty 30oz stainless steel tumblers, one to keep at work and one for home. It makes it easy to watch my water volume.

Sounds like you're doing Great!

Thank you very much! I'm doing better... it's still a struggle with head hunger but I'm working hard on not listening to my head. I still find myself thinking about where to eat on the way home from work. I've been bringing smoothie for breakfast, and both my lunch and dinner with me to work. This way, I do not eat once I'm home from work.

Damn man good for you. Your doing all this pre op and your doing it well. Good for you. Your gonna kill when post op comes along.

Ooh I got to keep following this thread. That stuff sounds so good and I'm in my waning days before Dietary Purgatory aka PreDiet sets in. No Food Funerals but maybe a Farewell Tour?

How could 3 oz of unseasoned chicken and some steamed vegetables be "too much," pre-op?
