Opti fast! Check out nutrient labels. Not great post op but pre op it is the weigh (haha) to go. It is ok after a few weeks post op, but not in the liquid stage. Yes to diet jelly, diet cordial, sugar free lollies and icy poles. Yes to veggies except root veggies like potatoes. Opti fast has a great website to help.

Check out great ideas in nutrition, portion perfection for bands and sleeves. They have a website.

For liquid stage-- resource Protein by Nestlé. 20g Protein in 200mL serve. I split them in half and then sip sip sip the first few days. coffee flavor I liked best :) the sustagen and up n go products gave me diahrea, so resource it was.

Pm me your email address and I will try to scan and email the hospital dietitians advice as I found it most helpful.

What else?

      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.
