Adding cottage cheese won't add many carbs either.

I'll give that a try tomorrow or Sunday. I had cream of chicken tonight - and it was pretty tasty, although even being low sodium, it still tasted salty to me.

I am not a fan of salt either. So many things taste salty to me, like cheese. My daughter is always telling me I am nuts.

Well we don't use salt so most times anything prepared tastes salty to me - like frozen dinners and Soups.

It's always tasted salty. It has nothing to do with the surgery.

"Had them load me up last night with anti-reflux, sleeping pill and pain pill" Can you swallow pills so soon after this surgery?

Watermelon has a very high glycemic index, so your insulin levels probably soared after eating it. That might have made you hypoglycemic and hungry. Kinda like eating candy!

I can swallow very small pills - if they're too big, I have to cut them in half or quarters.

      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.
