Have you tired Dole's Real fruit popsicles? They are little high in sugar than sugar-free popsicles but are more tasty than sugar-free. Plus they count as fluids too! I've gotten them at Walmart in the freezer section. Just check the nutrition label.

Hopefully, you can move onto to full liquids soon and be able to eat thinned oatmeal or grits.

Good luck!

Heat up some V-8, puree some salsa in the food processor or blender and mix it in. It is a very tasty and satisfying Soup during the liquid stage.

I also made some of the old diet cabbage Soup - chicken or veggie broth, a can of pureed tomatoes and cabbage sliced thinly. Cooked it til the cabbage was tender. Then gave it a whizz with my stick blender. I made it sweet and sour by adding some vinegar and splenda.

Depends on what your protocol is. If it's Clear Liquids you need, then you can try Syntrax Protein shakes...Fuzzy Peach or Roadside Lemonade are my favourites. You can also try Isopure which has 40g of Protein per bottle...though 4 days after surgery it would probably take you all day to get through the 20 ounces.

Water...always a good option and weak herbal teas. An Crystal Light...and that's about all I can think of for now.

I'm four days post op also on full liquids, and Dr said I could have yogurt,pudding, egg drop Soup

But I haven't been hungry since surgery, and it still feels like I could eat anything if I tried too,

you can have canned Soup but strain it, Lipton cup of soup cream of chicken is good, and you add a little more Water to keep it thin. But this helped take away the hunger sum. Protein Shakes sipped on also helped.

Can you drink Milk or Skim Milk ? Its a thought.

I am also 4 days post op. Today was my first hungry day. I had some diet Jello and a Protein shake. I just joined this group for support. I don't know anyone with the Lapband but I do know multiple people who failed with gastric bypass.

I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome Aboard !

Again try some Soups but strain them.

Pop cycles S.F. Or fruit cycles help.

Iliked Lipton cup of Soup Cream of chicken.

Good tastes, and you make it how you want it.

It helped kill the emptiness.

Your Protein shakes should help the Hunger also.

Good Luck, Shirley.biggrin.png

      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.
