broth for sure is a must for Clear Liquids. Maybe a couple cans of cream Soups like cream of chicken (you will still have to blend these) for when you start full liquids. Don't buy too much, I way over bought and still have a pantry full of Soup. Milk and V8 were great for me when I could do full liquids too. I also needed SF pudding to take my PPI.

Honestly, I wouldn't break the bank on anything. Before surgery I loved the sf pudding/Popsicles, chicken broth, Protein Drinks, etc. Now after surgery I can't tolerate any of that without feeling sick. Your taste buds will change, so don't be surprised.

Buy almost nothing until after surgery. I've got a pantry full of stuff I bought so I would be prepared and then, after surgery, couldn't stand the thought of eating. Just make sure you have Vitamins, a sampling of Protein drinks and maybe a couple of cans of Soup. Then, after surgery, buy what sounds good. Trust me, what sounds good today will make you gag post-op. You're going to be eating so little after surgery you don't need to have a pantry full. The tastiest broths I had after surgery were strained Soups. I'd strain out the chicken and noodles, for example, so I could have the liquid only. Good luck!

      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.
