I'm assuming my new tummy is pretty swollen because I'm definitely not getting in the ounces or calories I thought I would be. I was actually pretty nervous about following the post-op liquids only diet but it's been much better than I thought.

I am trying to stay hydrated and not be overly concerned with Protein right now.

My liquid diet so far is as follows:

Breakfast - 3 oz. of warm tea mixed with 1 spoonful of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder

snack - 2-3 oz. of Water or Water mixed w/ crystal light

lunch - 2-3 oz. of warm low sodium chicken broth mixed with 1 spoonful of Unjury

Snack - about 1/2 a container of Jell-O, 2-3 oz water

dinner - 3 oz. of warm tea (or broth) mixed with 1 spoonful of Unjury unflavored Protein Powder

Water whenever I think of it. Sip, sip, sip!

Gas pains are getting better as I've been walking. I haven't walked outside yet because we

are having nasty Santa Ana winds today :(

I am following this liquid diet for another 9 days so hopefully it'll be this easy next week!

      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.
