I'm not sure you can actually get used to them, you will be more than ready for food once you can have it. I did 2 weeks liquids before surgery and pretty much for 7 weeks after because I couldn't get much of anything down from complications. Even now 5 1/2 months later I will not eat Jello, pudding, broth, or popsicles. YUCK!

The reality of the post-op phase hit me too. I've been crying because I just want to eat normally again. I'm sipping Isopure while everyone else is eating- it kind of feels isolating.

I was so excited to get past the physical pain and nausea, and now here I am. The rapid weight loss isn't even making me happy.

This will pass, and we'll be soooo happy in the long run :)

I'm only 6 days out from surgery, so I am actually kind of scared to move on to mushies. Yogurt does sound divine, though. I'm a fan of Greek yogurt (high in Protein too :) ).

The next phase (full liquids like milk) should be a little easier to bear. I look forward to having creamy Soups and Protein drinks mixed with milk instead of just Water. I am so tempted to skip this Clear Liquids phase- this clear stuff is starting to make me sick. I was sipping on a bottle of Isopure and I got so upset with it I dumped the rest of the bottle down drain- a complete waste of good money, but I couldn't tolerate it anymore. I'm trying to mix up my Clear Liquids with Jello and broth. Tomorrow I'm going to buy some sugar free popsicles- those should go down nicely.

Whatever it takes, right?

      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.
