I have had instant oatmeal mixed with 1% milk with a little Peanut Butter mixed in as well as a little Splenda. It was really tasty. Make sure you add extra milk to make it runny. I also have had instant grits with a little "I can't believe its not butter" mixed in and it was good. Just add extra Water and cook about a minute and a half longer than it says to, that will help it get creamier.

I have been thinking about them grits! Ima wait maybe another day or 2. I'm been having cream Soups and puddings, Jello and some broth (but the broth is about to gag me now). I read somewhere to not eat applesauce and grits yet. Must be the texture I guess. I'm only 4 days post op so I need to be patient I guess. :-).

On a different note, every time I bend down or try to get up it burns where my port is and I feel a little flutter there. More paranoia I guess - I'm sure it's just the muscles.

Hang in there! :) It gets better by the day. I am with you on the broth. I went today and got several healthy request Soups by Campbell's. The broccoli cheese is good!!

      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.
