Of course u want to follow what your dr says. My dr allows yogart and I'm 5 days post op. I was eating yogart on day 2 without problem. U can always liquefy it with nonfat milk. Just trying to help. Was amazed by the 23g of Protein. Also I am not big on sugar substitutes but truvia is sweet and not too bad tasting. Good luck and hang in there!!!

Post op I didn't have any Protein shakes they made me gag. I stuck to liquids by making my own nutritional Soups and blending them till they were the right consistency. I'm five months post op and when I see Protein powders' date=' shakes etc even on a supermarket shelf they turn my stomach. A month on them pre op was all I could handle.

It's still early days if you don't get in all you're protein requirements it's ok that will come with solid foods.[/quote']

I am with ya on this one!!! I am 6 days post op and can't even stand the thought of a protein shake! Te smell makes me want to puke... Matter of fact, any chocolate smell makes me nauseous! I am getting protein by milk mostly and today I am going to try the bean soups in the blender to liquefy for added protein. I never want to see a shake again!!!! Lol

Full liquids and clear liquid diet are two different things... I think some get them confused. Full liquids is anything through a straw, Clear Liquids is just that, clear such as broth, juice, ext. I am cleared for full liquids so I am getting myself some bean and bacon Soup and blending it up in the blender today :) excited!!

Somehow they want me to try to get 80g of Protein... As of right now, there's no way. Lol. I live out in the middle of nowhere so the fancy yogurt is nowhere to be found. I have been having the FF Activia yogurt, it's really good and 1/4 cup so it's easy, but I think it's only 7g? It also serves both purposes. I think I can probably stand to have a shake, not that I really want one, but just because I'm getting desperate for something.

Just went for a 45 min walk though, so I need something!

      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.
