You really need the Protein. I'm surprised your NUT would recommend cream Soups. Have you tried Reduced-Fat Peanut Butter? When I started on mushy food sthat was one of m options and I could have 2TBSP's red. fat PB. It was much more tolerable' date=' for me, than chicken, etc.

I think the light-headed issues are dehydration. Water, Water, water![/quote']

Have you tried the PB2? It's much better for you than the low fat PB and way way less calories. Once you get practiced at mixing it up its very good.

It's basically dehydrated peanuts. It's Peanut Butter in powder form. You mix it with Water and you have instant Peanut Butter. It has about 1/4 the calories of regular peanut butter, and a much better nutritional ratio than low fat peanut butter. For me, the best part is you have to mix it up. A regular jar of peanut butter is too tempting for me and too easy to just grab a spoon and have at it.

Where do you buy this? Sounds great.

Gaining is ok because it tells you that you're not giving your body what it needs. Try some Protein and more Water. You may even need to up your calories. Same thing happen to me, two days after my protein increase I lost 3 pounds. Try something different it what your doing isn't working. The weight will come off.

      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.
