If I have to drink one more Protein Shake I'm going to lose it! I never thought I'd crave carrots, but I'm longing for something I go an actually feel in my mouth. I'm 4 days post op and doing ok. Like a lot of you, I'm having a hard time getting my two Protein Shakes in. I'm focusing on liquid count so that I don't get dehydrated. Now this is kind of yucky, but I've yet to have a BM. Last one was Tuesday. Is that normal. I was also feeling a little blue today thinking I'll never be able to enjoy a real meal again, but I keep telling myself that I will eventually be able to eat real food, just in much smaller portions. I've seen some of you post that your all liquid diet allows cream Soups and pudding. Is that something I could add. I think this would be so much easier if I could add something savory. I've never been much of a sweet tooth so the sugary sweet shakes are really annoying.

My post OP all liquid diet allows for fat free/sugar free pudding. I add a scoop of my Protein Powder in it. It is pretty good, and helps me eat all my Protein. I can also have the low fat cream Soups, strained. I mix with milk, and then add 1/3 cup of dry milk for 8 more gr. Protein. I want to buy some Unjury unflavored to add to the soups, but have not yet. Definitely check, but if you are not on all clears, then this should be okay. Im 6 days post op, and following my dr. Instructions to the letter!

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.
