I am 5 weeks out and I take Greek Yogurt or a couple pieces of carl budding lunch meat and a cheese stick. I also get those little tuna snack packs and through away the crackers.

I have taken a chicken breast that I had out and had to split into 5 meals. I just cut it and put each one in a baggie and took it on different days and reheated in the microwave.

I have taken sf pudding, cottage cheese and I get this sugar free Jello parfait at the dollar tree as well as their frozen mozzarella sticks that I microwave. There are 6 frozen ones in a package for a dollar and and I microwave 3 of them per lunch and it that is all I can eat!

I am taking Soup this week as well as a storage bowl because I can only get in about a 1/2 cup of soup per meal and it is such a waste to not finish the can.

Don't forget to take your Water or tea for the day!!!, and your Vitamins.

I think the biggest thing to get used to is the head still thinks of how much we packed for a pre sleeve lunch and it feels like we need more than 3 cheese sticks for the day, but really it almost too much!

So here goes, I have to be at work at 7 so I take my Preimer Protein shake with also.

7 to 8 am Premier Protein Shake, Vitamin and Calcium

9-10:30 Water

11 lunch, Vitamin and B12

12-1 water

130 sf pudding, or cottage cheese. or Jello, Calcium

2-3 water

At home after work I continue with water or tea

Hubby doesn't get home till 630 so then he wants to go get something to eat. I go with and order soup and then have about 3 bites of his chicken and a veggie sometimes followed by Iron.

I find after all that drinking during the day I really have NO hunger in evening and have to force myself to eat a little Protein. If I don't I feel it in the morning and want to EAT.

I am at 3 weeks (on mushies), and I have cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans, egg salad and tuna puree (sounds kinda ick, but tastes fine) packed in 1/4 cup containers. I also have SF pudding for a snack. I'll probably also bring a shake so that I can work on getting my Protein in.... not a ton of variety in the mushy diet :)

      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.
