Its hard to really tell ya what to get because each doctor/surgeon has different requirements. My surgeon gave me one list, and the nutritionist that sees all of the patients for this surgeon, had a slightly different list. A few things are almost universal though.

sugar-free popsicles

crystal light

Decaf coffee/tea

no-sugar added carnation instant Breakfast

skim milk

hope this helps

I agree your doctor will give you suggestions, what was on my list was low sodium clear chicken broth, popsicles, gautorade q2, basically anything clear and not heavy..then after two weeks I went on full liquids which included Protein Shakes, and more Soups no chunks...then two weeks later, full food...good luck on your journey!

I was liquids 2 wk prior to surgery and now almost at the end of 4 weeks post op, so ready for the mushies! Protein Shakes so you get enough Protein, that's so important so you don't get hungry. I got chicken broth from Unjury.com mixes great and I think it tastes yummy, 1 scoop in 8 oz hot Water is 21gr of protein. Atkins ready to drink is pretty good and each one is 15 gr of protein. My doctor said in that stage be sure to get 80-100 gr of protein. good luck!

      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.
