You should have a plan that was given to you. My surgeon required that I get 70 grams of Protein in a day. I could have as few as 3 shakes or as many as 5, but my total caloric intake was under 1000 calories. Check your particular plan requirements to see what they say.

broth I'd drink hot, because the idea of cold broth just sounds gross. Don't forget about tea, too. Tea is amazing.

Basically you substitute your meals with the shakes. I would recommend calling back and asking them for more specifics, because that sounds terrible they didn't provide you much guidance. You want to get a Meal Replacement shakes. My surgeon recommended Bariatric Advantage shakes, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is popular too. My two weeks went like this: shake made with Water and a little fruit or milk (not fruit AND milk, too many carbs!) in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I had about 1/2c of steamed broccoli every day. I could have up to 5 shakes a day, but I found that after the first week, I was having trouble eating even 3 of them.

If you've been instructed to take any supplements, make sure you get those in, too. Get your 64 oz of Water a day and remember that even though it's going to be hard, it's worth it :)

      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.
