I am 4 weeks out and feeling pretty good!!! Still super hungry but I am hoping it will get better since I get to start on some new foods!!!!! SUPER EXCITED, LOL!

I was eating yogurt, pudding, cream Soups and Protein Shakes.

I have lost 34 pounds since surgery!!! That makes 47 pounds from my highest!!

I went to the dietician today, and started new foods. Here is what my diet will be for the next 2 weeks. I just wanted to see if this was close/similar to what others ate during this time.

Week 4: 5 meals a day:

Protein shake 2 times a day 8 oz at a time

1/4 cups of any of the following foods, 3 times a day :

chicken, turkey, ground beef, eggs, low fat cheese (string cheese), yogurt, wendy's chili (she said if im out), chunky soups, cream soups, cooked vegtables (carrots, green Beans, beets, baked winter squash), potatoes and yams (mashed or boiled), fruit (canned in juice- pears, peaches-don't care for these fruits), applesause (no sugar added)

There are a few more foods (fish, cottage cheese, etc) but I don't like them.

Week 6: 5 meals a day total:

Protein Shake 2 times a day 6 oz at a time

1/2 cup of any of the foods listed above, 3 times a day

So I figured I was getting close to 400 calories a day on this, and around 35 g of protein. I was probably getting that much protein before this too. They want me to have between 60-70g of protein. The dietician said not to add more protein now since I am doing okay. I still feel like I need to add more protein because I want to start working out. I have been walking, but very few days. I tried the Isopure and got VERY bad diarrhea and couldn't eat for a few days. Has anyone tried unflavored Protein powder? I think my body can't handle that much protein. I can't do soy protein.

      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.
