I'm just over four weeks out and I'm now eating a little chicken or beef. But let me tell you, it sits like a rock right below my breast bone! And if I eat a bite too much...yikes.

Beef is worse so I'm passing on that. And I'm beginning to recognize full. But I am really wanting to avoid meat at this point. That wouldn't concern me, but since my surgery I can not stand my protien shakes. So bizarre , because I have been using this product for years and loving it. Getting plenty of protien was never a concern.

Untill post surgery and now it tastes like metal in my mouth! I've added fruit, cocoa, sf syrups.....still yuck. I fear I will lose my hair if this keeps up. And, of course I have no energy, and weight loss has stalled. The stall doesn't concern me, I know it's temporary. But I sure could use some energy!

I love taco bell taco may its so minced. And great flavor plus a side of it is only like 60 cents.

I can't do my Protein drinks either. However a nurse who works with my surgeon recommended this Protein Shots but don't drink them pour a little in your Water.

We had our Thanksgiving meal on Tuesday. My husband works all holidays unless they fall on his days off (Mon. Tue.)

I had the hardest time with the turkey. It was moist, I even put a little bit of gravy on it; still no go. I went to Taco Bell and had the bean burrito ( 2 meals ); I removed the tortilla part.

I can do chicken salad, but not chicken itself, not even the dark meat. I handle Wendy's Chili and my homemade (with ground turkey) well, at 5 weeks out, but I still have trouble with meat.< /p>

To be honest, I am sick of the Protein drinks, but need them to get my Protein in daily.

      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.
