I wish I knew when someone replies to a thread. It doesn't alert me. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I'm doing good. Still some gas pains in my shoulder but nothing like they were. I'm not getting nowhere near the 100 grams of Protein they are wanting me to eat. I'm not hungry at all! I'm practicality forcing myself to eat. My first appt is Fri. Did you advance to mushies?

No worries! I still have the gas pain in the shoulder as well. Are you drinking Protein shakes? I was averaging 3/day for about 65-70grams of Protein. What are you allowed to eat? Did you not have to do liquids after the surgery? I got moved to puréed foods. He said try that for a couple days then advance to mushies.

      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.
