Whatever my doctor told me to eat. I don't know your doctor's policies on when to eat what.

I ate what my doc told me also...which was soft blended foods. I thought they were delicious since I had been doing the full liquids for 2 weeks. I had blended chicken stew, spaghetti, turkey chili...whatever the family had for dinner. I could not eat very much....about 3 or 4 teaspoons but it was enough.

Now I do not have Pasta at all. I use spaghetti squash and zucchini for my pasta's. I watch my carbs and count my calories!

I am three days into my third week. Currently I eat soft foods. I usually have plain greek yogurt and add my own fruits, like strawberries or grapes. I also occasionally have tuna (made with plain greek yogurt). I used to have tuna with a couple of crackers but I decided to cut simple carbs totally out of my diet (as much as possible). I also have low fat sargento cheese sticks.

Tomorrow I plan on making my version of shepard's pie using ground 99% fat free turkey, low fat mexican cheese blend, and mashed cauli. Can't wait.

Hope this helps!

      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.
