Yo

Try taking Chia seeds in the morning and at night to help feel full longer during the day. I just started with grounded Chia seeds the week mixed with my Water and soy Protein shakes. I like how thick the shakes get and it really takes me a long time to get through the shake if I let he seeds sit long enough. A long time. that is highly unusual for me at this point in my post op journey. Overnight works really well too in the fridge. Try it out and see if it works for you. And as an added bonus, they are super high in the omegas and help with the "going" issue.

I eat somewhere between 600 and 900 calories a day and eat 6 x a day. Each meal tends to be about 125 calories. I mainly stay focused on high Protein, low fat, low carb and high Water amounts. It is important to get the supplements in as well since they will not come from food.

      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.
