Whoever you got your book from, nutritionist, or surgeons office, call them and get another copy. They should be happy to give it to you. I myself, can't function well without guidelines. 

Hello,

I am going through the same thing. I am one month pre op and they want me on 1 shake in the morning. I am trying to replace 2 meals and have dinner.. I feel like I am hungry all day.. my weight keeps fluctuating and now I am up 2lbs. Would it be better to stick w just the 1 shake a day. 

Thank you,

Donna

Try posting this on the main board (general discussion). I don't have experience with that but you might need to speak with a nutritionist about it. Some people are vegetarians and do just fine with the surgery.  

If you post this on the main board then you would get more responses. You can have anything mashable with a fork right?

I put a pork butt ( you can use tenderloin) in the crock pot with bell pepper and onion, water about half way up the meat, and whatever seasonings. Cook it on low alllll day and it falls apart and is so soft. 

Stuffed portabello mushroom caps. You can do it pizza style or with avocado, cheese, whatever.

I made Eggface's ricotta bake but added ground turkey.

Google low carb chili relleno casserole. So good!

Refried beans with cheese and hot sauce or get it from taco bell.

Loaded cauliflower, without bacon.

Lunch meat and cheese. 

And you are probably experiencing the infamous dreaded 3 week stall!!! I am right now! it's normal so do yourself a favor and don't weigh yourself for a month! Trust me! Don't don't it!
