I just hit 4 weeks yesterday. My goal for myself on MFP is 850 calories. I normally end up between 700 - 900 since I tend to get a little more in depending on exercise. I'm on full liquids/pureeds now. I normally have Protein Shakes, refried black Beans, ricotta with marinara sauce, Greek yogurt, & tuna most days. If you are on MFP, my name is mygastricsleevelife there too if you want to add me as a friend. I have my food diary as public so everyone can see it. I was doing more creamy Soups, grits, cream of wheat, SF pudding & SF popsicles, but I've been trying to cut those out as I transition to pureeds and also to limit my carbs. Depending on what stage you're at though, you might have to use those things still.

3.5 here, an similar to others. Beans, Greek yogurt, some "bites" I made (buffalo chicken and chicken enchilada..yum!), hummus, canned chicken, avocado, and Protein shakes. Made eggface's baked ricotta this week as well. If you go to my blog you can see my food diary as well as some blog posts on what I've been eating with recipes.

Still struggling to get 600 calories in, but never less than 80-90g of Protein a day.

      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.
